Binghamton Stadium is now called NYSEG Stadium

Binghamton Municipal Stadium is the home of the Binghamton Mets of the Eastern League. The Mets are the AA affiliate of the New York Mets.


This is a comfortable, but unremarkable ballpark. The stands wrap around the field to a point just beyond the infield. A modest roof covers some of the patrons behind home plate. The concessions and facilities are all located under the stands, although there was a deck down near the first base foul pole that housed a picnic/BBQ area.


The view beyond the fence was of a train yard, something I always enjoy in a ballpark and while I stood taking pictures, several trains shunted back and forth. We also got to enjoy a balloon festival floating by beyond left field.


All in all this is a perfectly agreeable place to see a AA baseball game, though nothing I would travel a great distance specifically to see. On the night I was there Steve Trachsel was pitching a rehab start for the Mets, so we had plenty of time to take in the atmosphere.
