Brooklyn Cyclones

Brooklyn Cyclone games are always a blast. There is always a lot of interaction with the crowd beyond the scope of the game itself. Even if you are not a big baseball fan, you will have fun at a Brooklyn Cyclones game. They have special giveaway nights and promo events. The concessions are always great quality, and there is even bacon-​on-​a-​stick if you venture to the outfield concession stand. :-)

As a METS fanatic this was a great laid back alternative to Citifield.
Great views from a wonderful new park. Tons of food concessions (even though it’s pricey). Great parking for $ 13.00.
Grew up coming to Coney Island and this was a great reason to visit after many years. I hope I have time to get back again once or twice this year. Maybe bring my little cousins because it’s a wonderful alternative to take the little ones. Or a girl who might not be into MLB as much (as I did one day last year).

Went last night for Irish heritage night. We got to the game about an hour before the start of the game and got complimentary Irish Cyclone jerseys. A really nice give away actually. Parking was only $ 5 which was great, and plenty of spots when we got there. The stadium was spotless, not a common occurrence in Coney Island. Food, beer, and snacks were all reasonably priced. Not a bad seat in the house, and we paid $ 16 a ticket. If only the Cyclones played better, would have been a perfect night!

I’m a big baseball fan and really enjoy visiting different ballparks. Minor league games are a whole different experience from major league games. You can catch a glimpse of some great playing; but just as much, you’ll see players who are still obviously working on improving — meaning, it’s obvious you are watching a minor league game.
I’ve gone to see the Newark Bears, Staten Island Yankees, and now, the Brooklyn Cyclones. The caliber of play is pretty much the same across these teams. The ambiance is the same at all three — fun, very interactive with the fans, relaxing, and every seat is great.
Of all the stadiums, the Cyclones’ stadium was the most fun — AND the biggest pain in the arse to get to. This is because it’s located in Coney Island — actually at the edge of the amusement park — you can see the Cyclone coaster running right behind the scoreboard as you watch the players. They regularly have fireworks after the game — which they did when I went.
If Coney Island weren’t so far from. .. almost everywhere (specifically, Harlem), I’d come here more often to catch a game. Unfortunately, I’m annoyed I didn’t get a chance to ride the Cyclone — I’m a huge fan of roller coasters — so I guess this gives me a reason to double-​dose on the fun of Coney Island by catching another game and riding the coasters.
Just go if you have time to spare to get there and back — you won’t regret it!

My company had our annual event here this year… It was my first time at Coney Island, so I wasnt quite sure what to expect.
Ill preface this by saying I didnt stay for the game (I went for the food/​drinks and left before that HUGE thunderstorm blew in)… but, we were greeted by super friendly staff, security, and Cyclone-​Girls. Apparently, we had come on «Zombie Day» — whatever that meant.
We walked up to our rooftop area — had food and beer (all free for us) — the hot dog was grilled, as was the hamburger — and they were served with in-​house made chips, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, etc — the real (secret star) were the sauerkraut and hot-​relish the hot-​dogs were placed next to. that combination was delicious ballpark flavor.
Our view was spectacular from the roof — I got a great pic of the field with the ocean and roller coaster in the background (180 degrees the other way, there was a huge thunderstorm looming). I ducked out before the game started (I had a 2+ hour commute home and work the next day) — on my way down the elevator, it stopped at the level below to pick up 3 guys in yellow hazard suits and gas masks, and a guy in a humongous zombie costume. I HATE selfies, but I HAD to ask the kind lady escorting them down to take a pic of us all together in that elevator.
Thanks Brooklyn Cyclones for being generous, friendly, personable, and caring about your jobs — Im a supporter!

Beautiful, clean stadium with great views. Especially from the party deck. Watching a game here is something everyone should do at least once. It was affordable and the food was very good. Which is a great thing if you have a family. Friendly and helpful staff.

Sit in the very front

This is an awesome stadium! So easy to get to on the F/​D/​N train and only a block or two’s walk from the subway. Also, going out to Coney Island is always fun anyway! Once you’re in the stadium, every view is a good view, and I love that there are so many freebies. I scored a great hat, although I have to say I am slightly perturbed by the BC logo on the hat. As a native New Yorker the logo bothers me because it looks a little too similar to the Boston RedSox logo. Maybe I just have a visceral gag reflex when I see the letter B on a baseball cap, who knows.
I though the Cyclones played well overall and I would definitely recommend checking out a game if you are in the area. The Atlantic Ocean as the back drop to the game is spectacular. I was rolling with Unilocal for this game and we were in suite 309, which was just a little left of home plate and had great views. The stadium staff did a great job checking our suite to make sure trash was not piling up. Thanks Pete and Ryan for hooking a jersey girl up! Nice to meet some Brooklyn Unilocalers and hope to see (in my best jersey voice) yous guys at some Jersey events soon!

My first time in this stadium for the BC game!
This is a small stadium and since it is not a major league event, tickets are cheap. The bf’s company bought group tickets for $ 20/​pp with $ 10 tokens for food/​drinks, and voucher for a BC cap. Since they had a lot of no show, we were given another $ 10/​pp to spend. Lucky us, it was $ 1 hotdog night too. So we ended up with 6 hotdogs, 2 corndogs, 3 beers ($ 7/​beer) and ice cream. WOW speaking of cheap!
Now this is not MLB, so don’t expect an amazing game, but there are perks too. They do not stop to entertain. It was also Star Wars night, so there were characters going down the field and perform for a bit, there were the hot dog run, there were singing, dancing and just a whole lot of entertainment! Don’t forget that at around 10pm, there is fireworks! SO MUCH FUN FOR SO LITTLE!!!
I find this a very good family outing, small stadium doesn’t seem intimidating to bring kids as well… Definitely cheap and fun for the family.

This is one of the best venues in Brooklyn for families. Kids will love all the activities and free giveaways. (Even big kids)
The enthusiasm of the crowd is contagious and the intimate setting is fabulous for sports fans. You get to see professional level sports up close and personal.
It is also a great place to go with groups of friends.
They even have fireworks some evening.
My favorite part is it is right on the boardwalk, perfect for an after game stroll.

If you’re not one for sitting in huge baseball stadiums or paying close to $ 10 for a hot dog, you’ll enjoy the cozy feeling of MCU Park — located steps from the Coney Island boardwalk, Nathan’s, and nostalgic amusement park rides.
As part of a Friday evening/​night Coney Island excursion, a bunch of us went on a Friday night and snagged field level seats here for $ 16 a pop. For those who don’t know, the Brooklyn Cycles are the Single-​A affiliate of the New York Mets. During games, they’ve got mascots, cheerleaders, and other entertainers working the stands during and in-​between innings, with on-​field fan contests to boot! At the end of the game, they even ENCOURAGE fans to throw stuff on the field — $ 1 tennis balls to be exact. Get one in any of the assorted hula hoops they have set up, and you win a big prize.
Immediately after the ballgame, we were also treated to a wonderful fireworks show, right over the boardwalk and water… we had the best seats in the house! I had no idea that they also tricked out the now-​defunct «Parachute Jump» ride with a pretty sweet array of patterned LED lighting.
Overall, we had a great time here. Visiting from Manhattan, I’m not sure I’d come all the way down here JUST for a ball game, but it was a perfect addition to our awesome summer evening/​night down in Coney Island!

MCU park is great!
Don’t forget to take a spin on the legendary Cyclone before you hit the park.
A great minor league baseball experience as the Cyclones always seem to field an exciting winning team each season, unlike their big league club, the Mets.

There really isn’t much better than the Cyclones in the summer.
With the sun setting and the Wonder Wheel in the background, if you don’t enjoy watching [occasionally terrible] baseball and all the between-​inning entertainment, I think there’s something wrong with you beyond your hideous taste in clothes. It’s cheap, laid-​back, family-​friendly fun. Go have a good time.
A couple pieces of advice:
1. If it’s Jersey Night or Bat Day or whatever, make sure to get there early. If you don’t make it at least an hour before the game starts, you’re not going to be taking home that Daryl Strawberry Bobblehead you always wanted.
2. Don’t come in with high expectations of a perfect evening watching men compete at the pinnacle of their sport. This isn’t Yankee Stadium. You’re going to see a lot of errors made, and there’s no sushi for sale here. This is Brooklyn. They’ve got knishes, and you know you want one.
3. Make sure they’ve got honey mustard or BBQ sauce before you get yourself some chicken fingers. Those things are essentially edible honey mustard spoons anyway, so when they are out, what’s the point?
4. Don’t ask them to load you up on the chili for your hot dog. You won’t even be able to see the dog itself, and when the chili gets on your girlfriend’s dress nobody is going to be happy. Nobody.

Great place to spend a summer evening. The crowd is lively and energetic. Also, I’m surprised by how young (read people in their 20s) this crowd was. Lots of beer drinking and eating. Definitely come here for a relaxing night.

Once a summer, you gotta drop everything and make it out to world famous Coney Island for a baseball game at the gorgeous MCU park.
I gotta thank the Mets for throwing some money at Brooklyn and putting an amazing facility right here in NYC right next to the ocean to catch some summer breezes, have a beer, and enjoy America’s favorite pastime.
With the humid August weather this ridiculously hot summer, there was no better place to be on a Sunday afternoon.
The Cyclones games are great for kids and adults too. They ALWAYS have souvenirs for the fans. Nice stuff too like jerseys and memorabilia.
Off the star meter, better than as good as it gets.

I had a pretty awesome time watching the Cyclones. Even though they’re just a single-​A team for the Mets, it was a fun. My friend got tickets to their luxury suite from his job. The suite was pretty spacious and the AC was a plus. We had our own little balcony area with a couple of seats. Anyway, as for the Cyclones, they’re a horrible team. The Cyclones and the away team had like 4 – 5 errors each. The main thing I liked about watching a minor league game, the players play hard. You see more base stealing and other things that you don’t catch at a major league level often. I’m assuming these young guys are trying really hard to earn a promotion to double A and then triple A.
Thursday is JERSEY NIGHT! I got a pretty cool red and black Brooklyn Cyclones jersey. It’s their promotions for every home game on thursdays. Tickets are dirt cheap. Every seat in the house is good.

I LOVE BASEBALL!!! I LOVE CONEY ISLAND!!! IT’S LIKE MY TWO FAVOURITE THINGS HAD SEX!!!
Going to a Brooklyn Cyclones game is a fun evening activity. My gentleman friend and I went to a game last week, and we weren’t disappointed. The field is nice and new and relatively clean, and we got great seats on the first base line with full view of the Cyclones cheerleaders. No, baseball does NOT need cheerleaders, but yes, Mel totally does. I wanted to bite the blonde one on her thighs, repeatedly. Thank you, Cyclones Beachbums, for making my night.
The prices here are surprisingly steep, considering that the Cyclones are two levels below single A. Granted, we had great seats, but we paid $ 14/​per for them… which is about how much the last AA baseball game I went to cost (Go Columbus Clippers!). However, it was totally worth it… even if the Cyclones were having a really shitty night, to boot. But still, the seats were great, they were comfy, and we even got to enjoy some Brooklyn Lagers (almost $ 7 each, which is more toward standard I think). I guess I have to keep reminding myself that I live in New York. It’s been a year and I still forget sometimes. ;)
Oh and yes, I totally wore a Red Sox hat, and as at the last Yankee game I went to, no one even heckled me. I am saddened, New Yorkers. I. am. Saddened. George Steinbrenner is rolling over in his grave in dismay.
GO CYCLONES! Thank god ya’ll are the farm team for the Mets. Baaahaha!

The best thing to happen to Coney Island since the Cyclone coaster so many years ago, the Brooklyn Cyclones have completely changed the dynamics of the area,
You can really credit the arrival of the Cyclones as the beginning of a new era in Coney Island, although it’s been a decade since their arrival and there is still much more to be done to fix up the neighborhood.
Built right next to the old thunderbolt coaster that was torn down years ago, MCU Park has expanded the area of attractions in Coney Island that includes the NY Aquarium, the Cyclone coaster, Luna Park and Nathan’s Famous.
There are so many great things about the Brooklyn Cyclones, with the most important being that they bring the community together with a great destination right off the boardwalk, with the Atlantic Ocean and the Parachute Jump as a backdrop.
The food is affordable and for a class A ballpark they have a great variety of items like Nathans hot dogs (of course!), chicken fingers, salads, wraps, nachos, sushi and gluten free and koser products.
They hold daily raffles for prizes and they have the best entertainment for a minor league ballpark that you will ever experience. T-shirt’s shot into the crowd, daily giveaways for games like bobbleheads, replica jerseys and so much more! Of course Sandy the Seagull, Pee Wee and King Henry are the mascots and are always walking around keeping the kids and adults entertained!
Post-​game fireworks shows are common on Friday’s during the summer, and often times they hold post game concerts/​shows with the price of admission.
Any seat in the house is a good one, even the bleacher seats are just fine! All seats are under 20 bucks and the suites are a great affordable idea if you are looking for a place to have a party or hold an event.
The Cyclones are a minor league affiliate of the New York Mets but if you live in Brooklyn you most likely root for them even if you are a Yankees fan or a fan of any other team… The Cyclones bring out the pride in us Brooklynites!
Because of the great scenery and entertainmnet you really don’t have to be a baseball fan to appreciate a visit here, and if you do love baseball and the Mets you get to see the future major leaguers get their start!
A bunch of former Brooklyn Cyclones are in the majors like Ike Davis, Dillon Gee, Angel Pagan and many more!
The Brooklyn Cyclones are now synonymous with Coney Island AND Brooklyn and i speak for all of us here when i say we couldn’t be more proud.

MCU Park & the Brooklyn Cyclones = Summertime for us. For the past 3 years we’ve participated in their Mini Season Ticket Plan. for less than $ 100 each we get to go to at least 5 baseball games and get coupons for free burgers & dogs. Such a good deal!
The food throughout the park is a-​ok.
The games played between innings are as corny as you can imagine.
Tickets for Friday & Saturdays get you a front row seat for fireworks following the game. and that’s always a treat.
Oh and on top of that you get to view some of the most fascinating people in Brooklyn! Never a dull moment at MCU.
My only minor gripe. when you sign up for a mini season ticket plan the Cyclones give you a hat. Its great… the first year. Its our 3^rd year and I’ve got 3 hats that are very similar in design. How about a t-​shirt or something besides a hat?

I don’t generally care about baseball but occasionally I like to go to a Brooklyn game. I enjoy watching the sport much more at the small ball park where I feel close to the action and more involved in what’s going on. I don’t mind at all that the Cyclones aren’t a major league team playing world class baseball. They compete fiercely on the level they’re at and the games definitely get intense.
