NEW YORK, NY, August 22, 2014 - On your mark, get set, go! Break out your Starter jackets, frost your tips, and put on your Doc Martens because the "˜90s are back in Brooklyn for one night only-and they're All That! On Wednesday, August 27, 2014, The Brooklyn Cyclones and Nickelodeon are joining forces to bring you The "˜90s Are All That Night, when the Cyclones take on the Staten Island Yankees at 7 p.m. Kel Mitchell, star of iconic Nickelodeon "˜90s shows All That and Kenan & Kel, will throw out the first pitch.

Prior to the game, 100 fans will be given the opportunity to purchase a special Double Dare LIVE! ticket package. For just $25, each fan will receive a field box seat to the game, a Nickelodeon "˜90s-themed t-shirt, sunglasses, a headband and exclusive admission into the pre-taping of Double Dare LIVE! at MCU Park. Select fans will be chosen at random to compete in the Double Dare games and activities-complete with their signature green slime, whipped cream and more-to be aired in-between innings during that night's game.

In addition, all seats are just $10-for a throwback "˜90s price! The first 3,000 fans to enter the stadium will receive a "˜90s Are All That branded sweatband courtesy of TeenNick, Nickelodeon's 24-hour TV network exclusively for and about teens and tweens.
