Fans
wait on line for hours to purchase best seats at KeySpan Park.
On April 25th, Borough President Marty Markowitz
greeted dozens of fans who were the first to buy tickets for
the Brooklyn Cyclones' upcoming season. Devoted fans waited
on line for an entire day to purchase the best seats at KeySpan
Park, the Cyclones' Coney Island home.
Markowitz
joined Cyclones mascot Sandy the Seagull at the ticket booth.
Markowitz, who confesses he cried when the Dodgers left Brooklyn
in 1957, told fans he is confident that the Cyclones will bring
home the Borough Presidents Cup once again this year by defeating
the Staten Island Yankees.
The
Cyclones are the New York-Penn League Single A minor league
affiliate of the Mets.
