Dunkin Donuts Park Tops In Country

HARTFORD, CT — Folks who enjoy a nice evening or afternoon at the ball game in Hartford have yet another reason to visit Dunkin Donuts Park, home of the Hartford Yard Goats.

That's because the team has announced that, again, the ballpark was named the "Best MiLB AA Ballpark" by Ballpark Digest.

According to team officials, this is the fourth time the Hartford baseball stadium has been so named and the second year in a row.

"We are the first MiLB team to win Best Ballpark four times! Thank you to our fans that make us so great, we love ya," wrote the team on Twitter Tuesday afternoon.

The Hartford Yard Goats are the AA affiliate of the Colorado Rockies in Major League Baseball.

The franchise's roots go back to New Britain, where they were previously the New Britain Rock Cats and, up until the mid-1990s, it was the New Britain Red Sox and, even, the Bristol Red Sox prior to the early 1980s.

The team moved to Hartford in 2016, but construction delays had the Goats on the road that year, with Dunkin Donuts Park officially opening in 2017.
