Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids and families, has announced in the following press release, from
OurSports Central, the exciting news that Nickelodeon and The Brooklyn Cyclones are teaming up to bring you The '90s Are All That Night, which will be held at MCU Park on Wednesday 27th August 2014!
As part of the game, which will see the Cyclones take on the Staten Island Yankees at 7:00pm, Nickelodeon legend Kel Mitchell, star of the iconic Classic Nickelodeon shows "All That" and "Kenan & Kel", will throw out the first pitch!
Prior to the game, 100 fans will be given the opportunity to purchase a special Double Dare LIVE! ticket package. For just $25, each fan will receive a field box seat to the game, a Nickelodeon '90s-themed t-shirt, sunglasses, a headband and exclusive admission into the pre-taping of "Double Dare LIVE!" at MCU Park. Select fans will be chosen at random to compete in the "Double Dare" games and activities - complete with Nickelodeon's signature green slime, whipped cream and more - to be aired in-between innings during that night's game.
In addition, all seats are just $10 - for a throwback 19˜90s price! The first 3,000 fans to enter the stadium will receive a '˜90s Are All That branded sweatband courtesy of TeenNick, Nickelodeon's 24-hour TV network exclusively for and about teens and tweens. The evening will also feature appearances by Angelica Pickles, Tommy Pickles and Chuckie Finster from the classic NickToon "Rugrats", who will be on hand for photo ops. Fans can also immortalize the night's festivities at the '90s Are All That photo booth, complete with throwback props, including the Aggro Crag trophy from Nick's hit game shows "Guts" and "Global Guts". Lastly, all 150 concession stand employees will be wearing "Good Burger" hats.
The Brooklyn Cyclones players will be wearing one-of-a-kind orange, Nickelodeon, "Double Dare" themed jerseys - complete with slime. The jerseys will be raffled off, on-field at the conclusion of the game. All proceeds will benefit the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association (ALSA). Also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.
"We'll be celebrating alot of things from the 90s that will make people say 'Oh yeah, I remember that,'" said Cyclones Vice President Steve Cohen. "And we hope that through all of the money raised through the ice bucket challenege and other events like our jersey raffle, that in the not-to-distant future people will be able to make Lou Gehrig's disease a distant memory as well."
The 90's fun doesn't just stop there. Prizes will be given out throughout the night to lucky fans-including Fun Dip, slap bracelets, Nickelodeon memorabilia and more. Some in-between inning contests and concourse games will include, playing Pogs on the concourse, a Pokemon "Gotta Catch Em All" on-field contest and a "Mario Kart" push cart race on field.
During the game on August 27th, fans will have the chance to make a donation to ALS and then join the team on the field post-game to participate in the ice bucket challenge around the infield. It's going to be a great night, to benefit a great cause.
More '˜90s-themed games and prizes will be announced as the event approaches. Tickets for the game-at a throwback price of $10-are available now by calling 718-507-TIXX, logging on to
