The Brooklyn Cyclones, the New York Mets' Class A minor league club, play in picturesque MCU Park—about an hour's subway ride from Midtown Manhattan. Situated in Coney Island, close to the ocean and local attractions like Deno's Wonder Wheel and Luna Park, the smell of salt air permeates the stadium. During night games, neon-colored fluorescent rings circling the ballpark's stadium lights lend a carnivalesque atmosphere to the setting. In the distance beyond the left field wall, fans can see the Cyclone roller coaster (the team's namesake) slowly rise and suddenly plunge on its first terrifying drop. The on-field competition of scrappy, hardworking ballplayers hearkens back to the good ol' days of Brooklyn baseball—as does the intimate setting, where the team can hear what fans yell out from the stands.
