“Alex and I are thrilled to honor the legacy of Joan Payson with The Cadillac Club at Payson’s,” said Owner, Chairman and CEO Steve Cohen. “As the original owner of the Mets and pioneer, Joan has played a significant role in our organization. We’re excited to have created this first of its kind club at the ballpark with a brand like Cadillac that embodies and empowers big dreams and bold ambition. The Cadillac Club at Payson’s will combine the rich history of the Mets with unique elements that are reminiscent of classic New York City, providing Mets fans with an experience like no other.”
The club is named after Joan Whitney Payson, the Mets first owner and a pioneer. Payson became the first woman to purchase a majority ownership stake in a major league team. She was instrumental to the development of the Mets farm system that produced Mets Hall of Famers Tom Seaver, Cleon Jones and Jerry Koosman. Payson was known as a ‘fan first’ and often deflected attention away from herself to celebrate the fans and the team’s baseball operations.
“At Cadillac, we look to partner with brands that are bold, sophisticated and optimistic and nowhere more in New York do you see that than with the Mets organization,” said Robert Secrest, Cadillac Northeast Region Director. “We are excited to help bring to life a one-of-a-kind luxury experience while championing a trailblazer in Joan Payson.”
