Post-game fireworks at SIUH Community Park go off over New York Harbor, with the Lower Manhattan skyline already sitting behind the outfield wall as a backdrop nobody had to build. Get there for the Atlantic League game against York, stay for a display that costs you nothing beyond the $12 ticket. If you want the most photogenic cheap night in the five boroughs, this is the one — and the ferry ride out is free.
What to expect
Nine innings of independent-league baseball in a 7,000-seat park, then the lights drop and fireworks launch beyond the outfield. Crowds are heaviest on fireworks dates, and the walk back to the ferry terminal moves in one big wave once the show ends.
Good to know
- The free Staten Island Ferry lands a five-minute walk from the ballpark
- Fireworks dates draw the largest crowds of the home schedule; arrive early for good seats
- Third-base side and the upper concourse give the widest view of the sky and skyline
- Expect a crush on the ferry immediately after the display ends
- Bring a layer; the harbour wind is noticeably cooler than inland Staten Island
- Excellent for families, dates and photographers

Common questions
Are fireworks included in the ticket?
Yes. The post-game display is part of the home date and needs no separate ticket beyond admission to the game.
Where should I sit for the fireworks?
The third-base side and the open concourse give the widest sky view with the Lower Manhattan skyline in frame.
How busy is the ferry afterwards?
Very. The crowd walks back to St. George terminal in one wave, so expect to wait a boat or two if you leave immediately after the display.
