Syracuse Mets

The Syracuse Mets are the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets, playing at NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse, New York. The franchise traces its roots to 1934, making it one of the oldest continuously operating minor league teams in the country, with a rich history that includes affiliations with multiple major league organizations.

NBT Bank Stadium, which opened in 1997 and seats 10,815 fans, is located in Syracuse's northern suburbs and has hosted Triple-A baseball for nearly three decades. The stadium was built to replace venerable MacArthur Stadium, where the franchise played for over 60 years. The ballpark is owned by Onondaga County and leased to the team under a long-term agreement.

The franchise has operated under numerous names and affiliations over its long history, including stints as the Chiefs (affiliated with multiple organizations) and a brief period as the SkyChiefs. The current identity as the Syracuse Mets was adopted in 2019 when the New York Mets placed their Triple-A affiliation in central New York.

Manager Dick Scott returns for his fourth season in 2026, having earned the prestigious Sheldon "Chief" Bender Award for Player Development in 2025. Under Scott's leadership, the Mets have developed key prospects for the parent club. The franchise was acquired by Diamond Baseball Holdings in 2025, continuing a new ownership chapter after years under the New York Mets organization's direct control.
