Brooklyn Cyclones announce new Brooklyn Backyard picnic area

The Brooklyn Cyclones are offering a new way to view the ballgame in Coney Island this summer.

The Brooklyn Backyard is a new picnic area that brings fans closer to the game by allowing them to watch the Cyclones play through the outfield wall at field level in MCU Park. Fans can relax on comfortable patio furniture, get a cold drink from the tiki bar, and play games of shuffleboard. The new area, located in what is being fittingly called Parachute Plaza, will sit in the shadow of the famous Parachute Jump.

You cannot have a picnic without food, and the Backyard Barbecue menu includes traditional ballpark fare, like burgers and hot dogs, as well as picnic favorites such as cole slaw and potato salad. The Backyard BBQ package is available for groups of 20 people or more.

Picnic pricing is $30 (bleacher ticket) or $35 (Field Box ticket) for adults and $20/$25 for children 12 and under.

Groups can reserve tickets for the Brooklyn Backyard by calling 718-37-BKLYN.
