As Arya Stark once wondered in HBO's famous TV series Game of Thrones, "What's West of Westeros?" The answer is, apparently, Flushing. Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets Major League Baseball team, will host "House of the Dragon Night" on June 14,2024.

House of the Dragon season 2

The team will have returned just days before from a rival match as famous of that between the houses of Hightower and Targaryen, in which the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets faced off in London. Friday night's game against the San Diego Padres will be an exciting event, as the Padres rank second in the National League West Division and the Mets are in fourth place in the East Division. There is plenty of season for the balance of power to shift in their respective leagues.

In honor of House of the Dragon Season 2, there are four packages of tickets available to game-goers two nights before its release. Any person can purchase a ticket for the game in The Porch, but fans with more interest in power over the seven kingdoms can purchase an add-on such as a limited-edition t-shift or access for photos on on the Iron Throne. For the right price, take in the "Full Dragon Experience," which includes both the shirt and the photo opportunity. These last three options are available with tickets in the sections of Big Apple Reserved and Field Reserved.

No images of the t-shirt are available, so imagination can run wild on how they will commemorate the event. According to the promotions and giveaways page, the April 27 game vs. the St. Louis Cardinals had Hogwarts House Scarves, while the June 15 game is Hawaiian Shirt night. Perhaps the t-shirt will feature the Targaryen sigil or the colors of the rival houses as well as including the Mets logo.

Whatever the specifics of the promotion are, it promises to be a fun night for baseball fans as well as those who would like to bend the knee in the Red Keep. Tickets are still available for purchase online.
