at D&D Park (Yard Goats' new stadium)

$10 - general admission, $5 youth/seniors/students/military
Tix: UConn Huskies vs East Carolina Pirates on 5/18/2017 Tickets
 
Having UConn baseball games at the yard goats stadium is a fantastic idea. The price point is perfect for families.

I'll be there. 700 or so sold so far, but I'm sure plenty like myself will buy right before the game at ticket window.

I wonder if the attendance of this game will help determine where UConn baseball decides to play when they build the new stadium on campus.

Cause they'll have a choice of eastern, Norwich, or DDP.

They'll probably split the schedule somehow. I would be willing to pay $10-15/game for a 5-10 game schedule @ DDP if they decide to go that route

See a split based on field availability. CT Tigers @ Dodd don't start up till mid June so there would be more flexibility/availability there if needed.

I'll ask here. Does anyone know where I get a UConn Baseball Jersey. The real deal. Did not see anywhere in the UConn Bookstore last week

I would shoot Kyle Muncy (@UconnTrademark) the question on Twitter for most accurate answer. He'll point you in right direction if they are available.

They offloaded a bunch @ the surplus equipment sale @ the Spring Game a few weeks ago.
 
Baseball play by play guy sounds like he does a good job. Wish the hockey play by play was as good.

Chris Jones does an astounding job. Started as a student announcers and continues to grow after he graduated. He is also responsible for all the post game interviews w/ players and coaches. Well respected by staff/team. He is also the announcer/broadcaster for NY/Penn League CT Tigers.

Awesome looking back drop for a baseball stadium.

It's great from that side but looking out into the outfield it's not so great. If I had to pick one complaint about DD Park it's the outfield view. It would have been great if they could have flipped the stadium so that the outfield looked out onto the Hartford skyline. I have a feeling they built it the way they did because of the setting sun angle but it's just a shame that the view you get looking out into the outfield is that ugly, windowless grey building.

Overall, it's a beautiful stadium and I can't wait to get to more games this summer. Getting in and out was easy coming from Southington, even during semi-rush hour traffic.
 
I wish the college baseball season started on April 1st. The northeast schools would be very competitive and attendance would also be very good.

You'd have to get game worn jerseys directly from the athletic department. Huskymedic mentioned the surplus sale, that's where you'll find them.

That building is slated to be demolished but its being held up because of Centerplan.

My few gripes with the stadium is that there should be additional bathrooms and more than 1 Dunkin' Donuts. Also if you sit on the 3rd base side near the 'Dunkin Dugout' you have an obstructed view if the ball gets hit down the line into the corner.
 
I went to the yard goats game last night and I have to say it really is a first class stadium. Stadium was packed and a lot of fun too. I had a couple beers at $10 each... BUT they come in huuuuge cups like 24-32 oz. Well worth my money. Hope uconn plays more games at DDP
