BALLPARK ENTRY

For the 2022 season fans are not required to show negative tests or proof of vaccination for entry into the ballpark.

Vaccines are not required for entry into the ballpark. We ask those who are not vaccinated to wear their masks in the park when not sitting in their assigned seats.

Starting Tuesday, June 22nd fans are no longer required to wear a face mask in Maimonides Park.
We encourage fans to wear their face masks when traveling around the ballpark, particularly when using common spaces like rest rooms, the team store and concession stands.

In accordance with New York State government's prescribed mandates, our ballpark will initially operate at 20 percent of its full capacity (capped at 1,277 seats).
Seats will be sold in pod format with seating clusters ranging in size from one to six seats. Each location will be separated from other pod locations by at least six feet.
Guests must maintain six feet of distance from anyone not in their seating pod at all times.
Lines at gates, concession stands, retail stores and restrooms will utilize floor markers to maintain proper distancing.
Elevator use will be limited to ADA guests or those requiring assistance. Elevator capacities have been reduced to assist with distancing.

The Cyclones ballpark will be sanitized between games. All high-touch areas will be frequently cleaned and disinfected during games.
Guests and staff are encouraged to wash their hands frequently.
Hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout the ballpark for guest and staff use.

Purses, diaper bags that are not backpack-style, tote, drawstring and messenger-style bags THAT DO NOT EXCEED 16 x 16 x 8 are permitted
All backpacks, with the exception of totally clear backpacks with no obscured interior pockets, are prohibited.
Exceptions may be made for backpacks used for ADA / medical reasons. Backpacks provided and backpacks purchased inside the ballpark are permitted that day only.
This is being done to expedite the security screening process entering the ballpark and help ensure the safety of our guests and security staff by limiting contact with personal items.

Seats will be sold in pods ranging from one to six seats, with guests from the same household/purchase group in the same pod. Guests must sit in the seats assigned to them.
All pods are separated by a six-foot radius. Unavailable seats will be blocked off to restrict usage.

In accordance with New York State government mandates established March 18th, we have been approved to host fans at 20% capacity starting with our home opener on May 18th. As a result of this capacity limitation and/or canceled games resulting from the pandemic, some ticket purchases may be impacted. In the event of an impacted ticket purchase, please refer to our Ticket Assurance Policy for 2021 .

Gates will open 60 minutes before all games during the 2021 season.
We will be enforcing social distancing guidelines at the main entrance of the park for the safety of our staff and all visitors.
We strongly encourage fans to not bring bags to the ballpark with the exception of medical needs, bottles for children, etc.

Players will not be permitted to sign autographs or toss baseballs into the stands per MLB regulations. On Sunday games, the first 200 kids in attendance will receive a photo signed by a Cyclones player.
For fan and player safety, a 6-ft to 12-ft buffer zone will be activated in certain areas of the ballpark seating configuration, specifically around the dugouts and bullpens.

To limit gathering and promote social distancing, there will be no pre-game activities like have a catch on the field or post-game kids run the bases. We will revisit as conditions change and hope to safely resume Family Sundays later in the season.

Due to reduced capacity, not all concession stands will be operating, and menu items may be limited.
We encourage all fans to pay with credit or debit cards. Cash will be accepted, but there are no ATMs at the ballpark.
Certain food items will not be available due to guidance from the New York State Board of Health - for example popcorn and peanuts will not be available.
