Reminder: Cyclones Ticket Giveaway Going On Through Saturday

I’m giving away two Brooklyn Cyclones tickets! Home opener on June 19, after the Mermaid Parade! The details are on this post. You enter by commenting on that same post. It’s really simple, folks. They’re field box seats on the third base side of the field. You’ll be chillaxin’ with me and some Meetup.com folks.

I realize doing this first thing after a week-long vacation out-of-town wasn’t the smartest thing – readership always nosedives when I stop writing for a week, who could have known? But after kicking the tires (i.e. spamming some of my closest friends, or at least people I’ve met before, or if I’ve never met them, at least I’ve e-mailed them recently about their blog or my blog or something), we got a few more people to comment.

It’s still wide open, though. The tickets are there for the taking. Do it… do it…

Keyspan Park Becomes MCU Park

That didn’t take long – the ink was barely dry on my story about the naming rights on the Cyclones stadium, and the team totally ignored my suggestions and sold the naming rights to a credit union. Not a bank, a credit union. The Chases and the Future Chases of the world are reported to be “disappointed.”

The Municipal Credit Union – the City’s largest credit union – will be picking up the tab that Keyspan Energy/National Grid is leaving behind, and the stadium will become MCU Park. The Brooklyn Paper reports:

“MCU and the Cyclones are a great fit,” said Cyclones General Manager Steve Cohen. “All of their members are workers like firefighters and cops — and that really matches our fan base.”

Later, he added, “Hey, at least we’re not selling out to TARPBank like the parent club, right?” (No, I’m kidding, he didn’t really say that.)
