They were able to clearly evidence their expertise in large scale event parking operations, and were highly recommended by their existing MLB clients”. He added ”We are pleased to have selected Impark as our parking operations partner, as our team is now prepared to ensure the Mets fans receive fantastic service from the moment they pull into Citi Field.”

The Mets’ home opener at Citi Field occurs on Monday, April 13, 2009, with a game against the San Diego Padres.

Chris Johnson, Impark’s Senior Vice President, Eastern U.S. commented,
“Having such a high quality organization entrust Impark with providing New York Mets fans their first and last impression, when entering and departing from this spectacular facility, is truly an honor. Impark’s stadium and event parking management model aligns perfectly with the Mets expectations for outstanding service at Citi Field. We look forward to implementing our innovative and effective approach to service, bringing a focus that will provide the best possible fan experience to Citi Field”.

According to Herb Anderson, Impark’s President & CEO, “This is a key contract award for Impark. It provides the organization with another very significant project in the New York area, and the opportunity to demonstrate our highly successful approach to stadium parking at this world-class venue.”
