The United States Army Parachute Team, known as the Golden Knights, will parachute into NYSEG Stadium before the Binghamton Mets' 7:05pm game with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats on Friday, July 3rd. After the Golden Knights jump into the stadium a high performance aircraft will conduct a fly over after the pre-game National Anthem.
