Apparently the Mets think there are only 4 towns in Queens worth setting a special date for, though they haven't done so yet. But if you live out on the Island, you're all set. Maybe this is part of their community benefits agreement...

I second that!
I know plenty of people in Flushing that are not big enough baseball fans to go to a game at Shea. With the influence of a Mets caravan( which has been cut from the off season regiment)an increased local fan base would most likely result. The more the Mets go out of their way to support the locals the more the locals will support them. Myself, I am a die hard Mets fan. But most don't even follow baseball and become pseudo-Yankee fans.
That's because the *tweeded* in Queens care much more about soccer than baseball.
What happens at these community meetings?
EVERY game is a special queens date baby! sweet van.
Will someone have the cajones to ask the team how they feel about playing in a new stadium with 12,000 less seats? So much for fan support! The stadium sure looks pretty. However, Citifield is all about big $$$ development that caters to corporate interests and not the people who have supported the team throughout the decades. I saw the NY Metropolitans play at the Polo Grounds! Of course, there is always TV. Oh that's right, for most of the season we have to pay for that privilege as well.
LIC is Yankee territory cause LIC is not really part of Queens.
