The Brooklyn Cyclones are the New York Mets short season, single A-minor league club team that play in Coney Island’s picturesque old time baseball field, MCU Park. Where else can you watch a baseball game where the smell of the ocean permeates the stadium? The ballfield is situated right on the boardwalk and just a few blocks from local attractions like Deno’s Wonder Wheel and Luna Park. In the distance fans can see the roller coaster that inspired the team’s name slowly rise and suddenly plunge on it’s first terrifying drop. During the night games the glow of neon lights are the perfect backdrop to the overall carnivalesque setting. The season starts June 17th and ends September 4th.
