The Brooklyn Cyclones have drawn over 4,000,000 fans to MCU Park since 2001. They
are the first team in the New York-Penn League, and just the third team in Minor League
Baseball History to reach that mark. The Cyclones went over the 4,000,000 fan mark
during their 15th season, 13 years quicker than any other franchise.
BROOKLYN CYCLONES
The Brooklyn Cyclones are a Class-A Affiliate of the New York Mets, playing at MCU Park from mid-June through Labor
Day Weekend. The Cyclones compete in the New York-Penn League the oldest, continuously operated Class-A league
in professional baseball. The league operates primarly in the Northeastern United States with teams in Connecticut,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio, West Virginia, and Vermont in addition to the namesakes of the league, New York and
Pennsylvania.
The league continues to be the starting point for baseball's best and brightest with Major League All-Stars like Miguel
Cabrera, Adrian Gonzalez, Robinson Cano, Andrew McCutchen, Jose Bautista, Jose Fernandez and Evan Longoria taking
on the New York-Penn League in recent years.
MCU Park, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones, is the center piece of the revitalized Coney Island boardwalk. Since opening
in 2001, the ballpark has welcomed over 4 million fans through the gates - the most of any team in all of short-season
baseball. The ballpark was recognized as the best ballpark experience in all of New York City - including the Barclay's Center, Citi Field, Yankee Stadium and Met Life Stadium - by Stadium Journey Magazine from 2012 - 2015.
The Cyclones led the NYPL in attendance for the 15th straight season in 2015. In addition, the Cyclones ranked in the top 25
in average attendance in MiLB for all 15th seasons, have averaged above capacity in seven of the 15 seasons, and have sold

"Thank you Brookyn Cyclones for your generosity and assistance in the fight against
cancer. This is the fourth year we've done our annual fundraiser at the ballpark and each
year we walk away more and more impressed. The Cyclones are as much a part of Brooklyn
as bagels, pizza and fuhgedaboudit. Thank you for all that you do for us and the borough
as a whole."

Community involvement
The Brooklyn Cyclones are certainly proud of the team's success on the field and in the stands. But
even more important than that is the success and relationships that the organization has built with our
community partners. Since the franchise's inception in 2001, the team has donated over $3.5 million in cash
and in-kind donations to local organizations. Here are some of the organizations we work with annually:

"Most Fun Ballpark - MCU Park: There are simply too many contenders to list. A day
trip to Coney Island just about trumps the lot, however. So ride the Cyclone, wolf down a
hotdog then take your seat at MCU Park to cheer on the Single-A Brooklyn Cyclones. With
stunning Atlantic vistas and landmarks like the Parachute Jump and the Wonder Wheel
looming in the background, this place will score a home run with all the family."

"It's been nothing but positive since the team has come to Coney Island. Its so
family oriented. A lot of people cant afford to go to the Major Leagues, so the
Cyclones offer families the opportunity to come to the beach, ride some rides
and see a ballgame without putting a real dent in your pocket."

ballpark signage
Having your company's logo,
contact information or website
highlighted on our outfield wall

events per year.
Concourse signs, which remain in
place year round, are positioned

en route to one of our concession
stands, on the way to the restroom
during a break in the action, or
while seeking shelter during a
rain delay, the fan traffic on our
concourse makes MCU Park feel
like the biggest street fair in
Brooklyn.

THEY SAID IT
"Baseball is the same in virtually every ballpark in America: 9 innings
to a game, 90 feet between the bases, 3 strikes and you're out. But the
experience of watching a game can change dramatically especially when your
ballpark is next to a perpetual carnival. Along Surf Avenue in Coney Island is
the Brooklyn Cyclones, a minor league baseball team playing here out of MCU
Park since 2001. The team is affiliated with the MLB's New York Mets, but the
game is unlike anything you'd see at Citi Field or anywhere else in the majors...
It's a 3 hour outdoor party."

Non-Traditional events
The Cyclones can work with you to reach
a specific target through non-traditional
marketing.
In 2015, the Cyclones won MiLB's Promo
of the Year for "Ambush Baseball." We
surprised two little league teams at their
field, and brought them to MCU Park where
we had secretly planned for them to play
their game. The planning and execution of
the event was recorded and released on line
as part of a viral campaing that received
tens of thousands of views.
The event allowed our corporate partner
to reach their specific target market while
also creating memories that will last a life
time.

and every year it just gets better and better. The setting is amazing. The
atmosphere is unparalleled and the entertainment that the Cyclones offer is
unlike anything else in the city. From clowns and face painting, to dancers,
