Furry creatures have roamed the lands of Citi Field for years. No, we’re not talking about the fuzz on the Mr. Met costume.
Conveniently located next to the former site of a scrap yard, Citi Field has been known to have the occasional varmint pop their head up and make an appearance.
The same thing happened on Wednesday when fans of the Mets were sent scattering for cover as a raccoon began rummaging through the stands.
SNY cameras captured the creature walking down the stairs into a row of seats as fans carefully watched its movements.
It’s unclear what happened to the raccoon once the cameras turned away.
Hopefully, the raccoon was able to flee the stadium to stop watching a horror show from the Mets.

On a rain-soaked night in Flushing, the Mets dropped a game against the struggling Pirates
After taking two of the games in their series against the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates, the Mets couldn’t sweep the Buccos.
Not only did they lose, they got shut out 4-0 as pitcher Clay Holmes picked up his first loss of the year.
Pirates first baseman Matt Gorski launched a two-run blast in the rain in the top of the second inning and third baseman Jared Triolo did the same in the fifth inning.
Meanwhile, only six Mets got hits on the evening and no one managed more than a single hit in what was a solid bullpen day for the Pirates.
The defeat stopped a three-game win streak for the Mets – who now travel across town for the Subway Series against the Yankees beginning on Friday.
