I didn't know that this could happen.

Surely the METS staff know that a visibly drunk man is a danger to others and should be removed. But on the other hand the man shouldn't have gotten himself intoxicated.

I don't suing the owner if the Mets is responsible so suing the owners is useless. I'd be willing to concede that the beer vendor and the security company may play a role and are liable to some extent.
Of course, I also feel the victim has bears some responsibility as well. According to the article she stated that the guy was drunk and being rowdy, yet she didn't move away from the guy, or try and call security to deal with the situation. As an attorney, she should have known better.
Lastly, in defense of the security officers, it's fairly difficult to provide adequate security coverage for close to 50,000 people.

Suing the Mets is because they've got the money and the concessions have a certain level of responsibility to not serve someone who is obviously intoxicated. Suing the moron that landed on her is more appropriate, but no one has identified him.

I'm curious to know when it first dawned on her that there are drunks in ballparks. Was the open sale of beer not a clue? How about the people who attend without shirts in freezing weather, and paint themselves with the team colors? The article indicates that she noticed him acting rowdy for quite some time. Why did she not notify Security? If she didn't do that, how can she expect anyone else to do so? How are they supposed to know about things no one tells them?
Case dismissed.

It's always more profitable to sue a company than an individual, since the company has deep pockets, but, to answer your question, she should sue the man.

She should sue the stadium and their security, along with the man. It has nothing to do with the Mets.

Rule of thumb----sue everybody you can in hopes that they will pay you to go away.
