The Brooklyn Cyclones

What The Brooklyn Cyclones does

The Brooklyn Cyclones is a privately held Minor League Baseball franchise and operating subsidiary of the New York Mets organization, founded in 2001 and headquartered at Maimonides Park (1904 Surf Avenue) in Coney Island, Brooklyn. The franchise serves as the Mets' Single-A affiliate in the South Atlantic League, fielding a roster of developing prospects whose progression into the major-league pipeline constitutes a core part of the franchise's value proposition to fans. The team's core product is live professional baseball played in a ~7,000-seat waterfront ballpark over a June-through-early-September home schedule, supported by an integrated digital platform that includes tickets.com-powered online ticketing, MiLB.TV and Bally Sports Live streaming, the Amazin' Starts Here podcast, and a rewards app for fan engagement. Revenue is generated across four streams: ticket sales (single-game, season memberships, flex books/mini plans, group tickets, premium Beach Club seating, suites, and the monthly Ballpark Pass subscription), corporate sponsorships and venue naming rights (anchored by Maimonides Park), on-site merchandise sales through the Cyclones team store, and game-day concessions. The go-to-market motion is event-driven and direct-to-consumer, layered with a community-led outreach program — including a school reading program, Autism Acceptance Suite, kids camp partnership with US Sport Camps and Nike, and charity partnerships — targeting individual fans, families, corporate groups, and local schools across Brooklyn and the broader Northeast US region.
