Dunkin' Donuts Park, home of the Hartford Yard Goats

Originally intended to open in time for the 2016 season, construction delays caused the Yard Goats to play their entire 2016 season the road. The park opened in time for the 2017 season and has also hosted the University of Hartford and the UConn Huskies as well as the first Cape Cod League games played in Connecticut.

The park features an extremely cozy right field, with the wall only 308 feet from home plate. The park features a double-decked right field - the original plan was that the wall would feature a gap through which fans in the lower deck could catch home run balls, while balls that hit the wall above them would remain in play. Minor League Baseball rejected the idea and the seats were screened in. The upper deck, in reality, slightly overhangs the field of play although I kind of ignored that for the sake of the model. Be aware that there may be spots where batted balls and players disappear behind the outfield wall - that's a limitation of OOTP.

Be sure to peek behind the Hartford Terrace in right field to check out today's starting lineups and see a portrait of Lou Gehrig's 1922 Hartford Senators club.
