The Hartford Yard Goats will play their first home game at Dunkin’ Donuts Park in almost two years tonight against the Portland Sea Dogs.

The coronavirus pandemic prompted Minor League Baseball to cancel its 2020 season. As a result, it has been 621 days since the Yard Goats, the Double-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, have played a game before spectators in Hartford.

Tonight’s matchup is the first of a six-game series setting the Yard Goats against the Portland Sea Dogs, an affiliate of the Boston Red Sox.

Dunkin’ Donuts Park will revert to full capacity on May 19, the date Connecticut drops almost all of its remaining COVID-19-related restrictions. Still, the park is requiring that all visitors 2 years of age or older wear masks covering their nose and mouth. Guests will be allowed to temporarily remove their face coverings while eating or drinking in their seats.

According to management, Dunkin’ Donuts Park is now cashless and contactless, with credit, debit and gift cards accepted at the box office, the Yard Goats team store, and all food and beverage vending locations. Workers will sanitize high-traffic areas during games, and additional hand sanitizing stations have been set up throughout the park.

Fans will be able to purchase individual tickets for games in June through September starting on Wednesday.

The tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. through the Yard Goats website, yardgoatsbaseball.com, or over the phone at 860-246-4628. All tickets will be delivered to buyers digitally, team officials said, and no in-person sales are available.
