PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - The New York Mets and Popular, Inc., a $44 billion financial holding company and parent company to Banco Popular, have entered into a five-year agreement for Popular to be the official bank of the New York Mets.
The agreement includes the operation of all ATMs at Shea Stadium.
In addition to branding on the ATMs in the stadium, Popular will receive additional branding on the scoreboard and on the tarpaulin cover and a half inning of signage behind home plate.
Banco Popular will play a large role in the Mets' community outreach efforts. The bank will co-sponsor the Mets' summer reading program with the New York Public Library, institute a game-day busing program that provides round-trip transportation between Washington Heights, the Bronx and Shea Stadium, and spearhead a ticket distribution program to community organizations.
Banco Popular will also introduce a Mets ticket offer to individuals who open a new account at any of its branch locations in the New York area.
