Men's Club Outing to see the Hartford Yard Goats play the Portland Sea Dogs

Sunday, Aug 31st 12:00p to 4:00pBack by popular demand! Join the Men’s Club at Dunkin’ Donuts Park to see the Hartford Yard Goats (Colorado Rockies affiliate) play the Portland Sea Dogs (the Boston Red Sox minor league affiliate)! Our seats, in the Hartford Terrace section along the first-base side, are in a shaded, private section. Your ticket will allow you free exclusive access to the Yard Goats Club, an air conditioned indoor section with great views of the game, comfortable seating, and higher-end food and liquor options not available at the general concession stands. And yes, fries, hot dogs, and beer are also available there. You can go to this private section when you want to take a break from your field seats, get refreshments, and schmooze with others. Our group will be recognized at the game. There will be a shout out for the Beth El Men's Club! One of us will get to throw out a first pitch! There may be other surprises! Kids run the bases after the game! Tickets are limited, so you are urged to put in your RSVP as soon as possible. You may request to be seated with others who are placing their RSVP separately.
