Goats burger, made with goat
cheese, arugula, bacon and cara-
melized onions for $8, tasted like
it was made with goat.
The service was almost good.
That $10 donut sandwich took a
long time to arrive — and only
after a reminder. Otherwise, the
line moved quickly. Bear's Smoke-
house on the left field side was a
popular spot with longer lines.
Odds and ends
Just a few last observations
about the experience.
• Our game had a 6:05 p.m.
start, which seems perfect for
families because you're out by
around 9 p.m. Most other games
start at 7:05 p.m., which some
families might find too late.
• The Yard Goats rallying cry
needs some work. It's a video of
a live goat bleating at full volume.
It sounds like the goat is choking
on a popcorn husk. We implore
you, go with a cartoon goat mak-
ing cartoon bleats.
•The in-stadium video needs
to be synced better with its
audio. After a while, we stopped
watching the roving reporter
because we couldn't understand
her. That diminishes whatever
she promotes.
• The Dunkin' Donuts Cup in
left field didn't blow steam on
April 15th for home runs. It's
one of the biggest symbols of
the corporate sponsor. n
Yard Goats
The $8 Yard Goats burger includes goat cheese, arugula, bacon and caramelized onions.
