Mets owner Steve Cohen hopes to build casino adjacent to Citi Field
Mets owner Steve Cohen hopes to construct a casino adjacent to Citi Field as a way to attract people to the area near the ballpark. Cohen, who bought the Mets before the 2021 season, wants to create attractions near the stadium in Queens in the manner of other teams. New York State this year authorized three casino licenses for New York City, Long Island and Westchester, and many groups have discussed proposals.
