Parking
Reserve a spot in advance — game-day parking near Mirabito Stadium fills early.
Getting there
Mirabito Stadium sits on the north side of downtown Binghamton, New York, at 211 Henry Street, an easy walk from the Binghamton bus terminal and most downtown hotels. Driving uses I-81 or NY-17 (the Southern Tier Expressway) to the downtown Binghamton exits — Court Street or State Street drop you within blocks of the ballpark. Greyhound and Coach USA serve the downtown bus terminal. There is no passenger rail service to Binghamton. Team-affiliated and adjacent surface lots ring the ballpark and reserving in advance via the parking link above typically beats game-day pricing on fireworks dates. Rideshare drop-off zones are signed along Henry Street. Confirm bag and entry rules on the Rumble Ponies' official site before going.
The neighborhood
The blocks around Mirabito Stadium are downtown Binghamton — Court Street and State Street to the south have the cluster of bars and restaurants that anchor pre-game culture, the Broome County Courthouse anchors the civic plaza a block east, and the Chenango River runs immediately north of the ballpark. Binghamton University's main campus is in the Vestal suburb a short drive west, and the downtown reads as a working small-city core with strong neighborhood-restaurant culture rather than a polished sports village. The Forum Theatre and the Visions Federal Credit Union Veterans Memorial Arena (home of the Binghamton Black Bears) sit a few blocks west. The setting is mid-sized Upstate New York downtown — modest but walkable, with the spiedie tradition as the signature regional pull.
Where to eat & drink nearby
Pre-game stops within walking distance or a short ride include Lost Dog Cafe (the eclectic, longtime Binghamton restaurant and bar a short walk from the ballpark — the canonical local stop), Galaxy Brewing Company (the downtown craft brewery on Court Street), and Number 5 Restaurant in a converted historic firehouse — the destination upscale sit-down. For the canonical spiedie detour, Sharkey's on Glenwood Avenue is the longtime spiedie institution (the marinated grilled cube-skewer sandwich is Binghamton's signature regional dish, descended from Italian immigrant cooking in the early 20th century), and Lupo's S&S Char Pit in nearby Endwell is the other regional spiedie destination. Cyber Cafe West is the downtown coffee-and-beer hangout. Pre-game crowds at the closest bars build modestly on weekend home dates.
First-timer tips
Plan to arrive about 45 minutes to an hour before first pitch — downtown parking flow is gentle. The ballpark and team have rolled through several names: the franchise was the Binghamton Mets through the 2016 season before rebranding as the Rumble Ponies in 2017 (the new identity nods to the historic Ross Park Carousel in Binghamton, one of six surviving carousels in the city — the Carousel Capital of the World). The ballpark itself was NYSEG Stadium under a long-running naming agreement with New York State Electric & Gas before becoming Mirabito Stadium in 2024 under Mirabito Energy Products' agreement. Mobile-only tickets are the norm. Bag policy and gate-open times shift season to season; confirm on the Rumble Ponies' site before going.
Best games to catch
Eastern League divisional matchups against the Reading Fightin Phils (Phillies affiliate), Hartford Yard Goats (Rockies affiliate), and the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Blue Jays affiliate) are the most reliable above-average draws. Visits from the Akron RubberDucks and the Erie SeaWolves round out the strongest schedule. Any date when a top Mets prospect or rehabbing major-leaguer is scheduled to play, plus fireworks Fridays and themed promotional nights (including the Rumble Ponies' carousel-themed promotions), peaks demand. The Rumble Ponies publish their full promotional calendar on the team site; specifics vary year to year.
What to know
The ballpark opened in 1992 as Binghamton Municipal Stadium, was renamed NYSEG Stadium in 1995 under New York State Electric & Gas's long-running naming agreement, and became Mirabito Stadium in 2024 under Mirabito Energy Products' new agreement. The franchise played as the Binghamton Mets from 1992 through 2016 and rebranded to the Binghamton Rumble Ponies in 2017 — the new identity references the historic Ross Park Carousel and Binghamton's status as the Carousel Capital of the World (six restored Allan Herschell carousels operate in the city's parks, all free to ride). The Rumble Ponies are the Double-A affiliate of the New York Mets (Eastern League). Capacity sits around 6,012 with a 360-degree concourse and a backdrop of the downtown Binghamton skyline. The Rumble Ponies have won multiple Eastern League championships across the franchise's modern era.
Frequently asked questions

Gates typically open about 60–90 minutes before first pitch, earlier for fireworks Fridays or major promotional dates. Exact gate-open times shift season to season — check the Rumble Ponies' official site for the current schedule.
Who plays at Mirabito Stadium?
The Binghamton Rumble Ponies, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Mets, play their home games at Mirabito Stadium in the Eastern League. The franchise played as the Binghamton Mets from 1992 through 2016 before rebranding.
Is Mirabito Stadium the same as NYSEG Stadium?
Yes — the ballpark opened as Binghamton Municipal Stadium in 1992, was renamed NYSEG Stadium in 1995, and became Mirabito Stadium in 2024 under Mirabito Energy Products' agreement. It is the same downtown Binghamton ballpark; only the name has changed.
Where can I park near Mirabito Stadium?
Team-affiliated and adjacent surface lots ring the ballpark off Henry Street in downtown Binghamton. Reserving in advance via the parking link above typically beats game-day pricing on fireworks dates. Confirm current rates and availability before driving in.
Why is Binghamton called the Carousel Capital of the World?
Industrialist George F. Johnson, founder of the Endicott-Johnson Shoe Company, donated six Allan Herschell carousels to Binghamton-area parks in the early 20th century with the condition they always remain free to ride. All six are still operating, and the Rumble Ponies' name and branding reference this carousel heritage.
