Writer Ben Osborne's book 'The Brooklyn Cyclones: Hardball Dreams and the New Coney Island' commemorates the 2001 inaugural season, reflecting on the political, socio-economic landscape, and zeitgeist of the 1990s in Brooklyn.
'The stadium was the first piece of the Coney Island revitalization,' signaling the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter for the neighborhood, as noted by Osborne.
There was significant political hype surrounding the arrival of the Brooklyn Cyclones in Coney Island, with Mayor Guiliani championing the event as a monumental happening for Brooklyn.
