The New York Mets took the infatuation with Grimace a step further on Monday when the organization announced there will be a Citi Field seat dedicated to the McDonald’s character.

There’s been a lot of winning when Grimace is in the building. New York started on a seven-game winning streak in June after the character threw out the first pitch. The Mets are 53-31 since June 12 and were tied with the Atlanta Braves for the final playoff spot before a win over the Nats.

The Grimace seat will be in the second deck in right field in row 6, seat 12. The seat is available for purchase in the final Mets home games of the regular season.

"It’s been great to see how our fanbase created the Grimace phenomenon following his first pitch in June and in the months since," Brenden Mallette, the Mets’ senior vice president of partnerships, said in a news release.
