Maimonides Park (formerly MCU Park) is the minor league baseball stadium on the Coney Island boardwalk, where the New York Mets-affiliated Brooklyn Cyclones play. The stadium can also be rented as an amazing location for events.
We were there for my son's graduation, not a game, and it was really an amazing, one of a kind ceremony. While not a typical graduation venue, we couldn't have asked for a better location than this with an incredible view of the Coney Island amusement park as a backdrop. With 7000 seats, we had plenty of space, and while it rained a little, attendees were advised to come with umbrellas and adapted. After the ceremony, we walked to the boardwalk just outside the stadium to take photos on the boardwalk and beach.
The pretzels and Nathan's hot dogs from the concession stand were fantastic.
This is a great place for a unique event venue or a family day of fun at the boardwalk and amusement park, followed by a game.
