South Bend Cubs News Release
SOUTH BEND, IN - The South Bend Cubs are down to their final two homestands of the season, with their next being their last of August. Beginning on Tuesday, August 19, the Cubs will host the Cedar Rapids Kernels for six games. The Kernels are the High-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins and the first-half Midwest League West division champion.
NEW FOOD OPTIONS
SMASH burger, located on the first-base side of the concourse, will debut the Grilled Corn Burger. It features two beef patties, sharp cheddar cheese, red cabbage, and a roasted corn/jalapeno blend topped with a chipotle aioli sauce.
Located on the concourse behind home plate, the Round Bar will serve up the Pineapple Kernel, containing vodka, pineapple, and cherry. Like the opponent burger, it'll be available throughout the duration of the Cedar Rapids series. This will also be available at the Tiki Hut in left field.
