SYRACUSE, NY - The Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets will take the field as the Syracuse Butter Sculptures on Saturday, 7/13, against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders at 7:05 p.m. Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. that day and the 1st 1000 fans through the gates will receive a Butter Sculpture Scooch bobblehead, courtesy of the New York State Fair.

The Butter Sculptures name is based on the famous butter sculpture designed for The Great New York State Fair each summer. The NYS Fair takes place at the end of August, right down the street from historic NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse, NY.

The baseball team will wear specialty Butter Sculptures jerseys and hats on the field that day. The jerseys are courtesy of Fidelis Care and will be auctioned off during the game to raise money for Griffin's Guardians. The jersey auction will take place on the Livesource app from the time gates open, through the end of the 7th inning of the game. The Livesource app is free to download to any mobile device. The on-field hats, as well as adjustable Butter Sculptures caps and t-shirts will be available for sale in the Syracuse Mets Team Store and online at syracusemets.milbstore.com.

In addition to the fair-themed name change, NBT Bank Stadium will transform into a baseball-themed fair. Fans can enjoy a mini Chevy Court outside the stadium, based on the NYS Fair Chevy Court at the Fair Grounds. In addition, in between innings, check out Mutts Gone Nuts, a human/dog entertainment act similar to the fun roving acts that traverse the Fair, presented by Labatt.

"We're excited to celebrate two of the great things about upstate New York - the Fair and baseball. It's going to be a terrific day at the ballpark as the fun spreads like New York butter from one end of NBT Bank Stadium to the other," said Troy Waffner, State Fair Director.
