Brooklyn, NY, August 26, 2003 - For the second time in their three seasons at KeySpan Park, the Brooklyn Cyclones are headed to the playoffs. Playoff tickets will go on sale Monday, September 1st at 9:00 AM at the KeySpan Park box office and via phone at 718-507-TIXX (applicable phone service charges apply). Ticket availability will be limited. The Cyclones have sold out all 38 home games at KeySpan Park this season so demand for playoff tickets is expected to be high.

After a 76 game season, the best-of-three divisional playoffs will start on September 5th, followed by another best-of-three series for the League Championship. In addition to three division winners, a wild card team will also qualify for the playoffs. The team with the better regular season record will be given home field advantage in the relevant series, playing the second and third game of the series in their ballpark.

"We are excited about making the playoffs this year. The team has played well and the fans have been incredibly supportive. We hope to be able to bring home another championship," said Steve Cohen, General Manager of the Brooklyn Cyclones.

The Cyclones are currently 2 games ahead of the Williamsport Crosscutters in the McNamara division, and have the second best record in the league.

The Brooklyn Cyclones are the Class-A affiliate of the New York Mets. In their inaugural season the team compiled a 52-24 record on its way to winning the New York-Penn League Championship. In 2002, they followed up by breaking their own Short Season Class-A attendance record with 317,124 fans. Former New York Met Tim Teufel is manager for the 2003 season. The team plays its home games at KeySpan Park, the 7,500-seat stadium in Coney Island. Ticket information is available by calling either 718-507-TIXX or 718-449-TIXS, and by visiting the team's website at www.brooklyncyclones.com.
