Syracuse Mets Schedule 2026
Syracuse Mets Seating Charts
Syracuse plays big for a Triple-A club: the Syracuse Mets brought New York’s orange-and-blue vibe to Central New York and went 77-73 in 2025, finishing fifth in the International League East while outscoring opponents 735-729. Some nights feel like a preview of Citi Field, others are pure local pride with a close game and a crisp breeze off Onondaga Lake. Make room for a ballpark night with Event Tickets Center.
As the Triple-A MiLB affiliate of the New York Mets, Syracuse is where roster headlines turn into real innings. Triple A baseball means rehab assignments, prospect auditions, and veterans trying to force the next move, often all in the same series. Manager Dick Scott returned for a third straight season in 2025, and the club had steady production from slugger Jared Young (17 homers) and RBI man Joey Meneses, plus a rotation boosted by Brandon Sproat’s eight wins.
Orange Thunder lives at NBT Bank Stadium, the Syracuse Mets stadium on Tex Simone Drive that opened in 1997 and holds 10,815 fans. Sightlines stay clean from the lower bowl and upper level, and the mix of suites and social spots keeps the night moving even when you are chasing foul balls and fireworks. Keep an eye out for Scooch, the longtime mascot who turns between-innings moments into a full-on Central New York tradition.
The Syracuse Mets name is newer, but Syracuse’s International League baseball roots run deep: the franchise’s Syracuse Chiefs era is credited with eight Governors’ Cup championships, last in 1976. In today’s split-season format, the league champion is decided by a best-of-three series between half-season winners, and the victor advances to the Triple-A National Championship game in Las Vegas. That race makes rivalry series with Rochester and Buffalo feel like playoff rehearsals.
A summer night in Syracuse is better with a scorecard in hand, Scooch roaming the concourse, and a Mets prospect turning a routine Tuesday into a story you tell all week. Check the home dates, pick the section that fits your crew, and settle in for late-inning drama and postgame fireworks with the skyline glowing beyond right field.
