The Brooklyn Cyclones

There’s nothing better—really, nothing—than spending a Saturday evening in the stands of a baseball stadium, chowing down on hot dogs and watching America’s pastime for a fraction of the price (and yet twice the heart) of the major leagues. Even the baseball averse will enjoy how close they are to the game…something you just can’t do at, say, Yankee Stadium. The Brooklyn Cyclones square off against the Staten Island Yankees (MCU Park, 1904 Surf Ave between 17th and 19th Sts, Coney Island, Brooklyn; brooklyn cyclones.com; 6pm; $10–$16) for their first home game of the season. Did we mention there’s going to be postgame fireworks? And that there’s cheap beer, too? And also hot dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jack? Tickets are all under $20 and with the action happening in Coney Island you could totally plan a whole day around it. Yeah, you
hould go.
