South Bend Cubs News Release


SOUTH BEND, IN - After welcoming their two largest crowds of the season last week, the South Bend Cubs will return home on Tuesday, May 20, for their final home series of May. They'll take on the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, the High-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, during another loaded week of promotions.

SMASH Burger, located on the first-base side of the concourse, will serve up a new opponent burger for the duration of the Wisconsin series. The Venom Burger will feature two beef patties with habanero barbecue sauce, crispy fried onion straws, pepper jack cheese, and bacon (excludes May 21).

Located on the concourse behind home plate, the Round Bar will offer another rendition of its opponent cocktail. This week's Rattler on the Rocks contains a blend of tequila, jalapenos, Tajin, and agave. Like the SMASH burger, it'll be available for most games during the homestand, excluding Wednesday, May 21. This will also be available at the Tiki Hut in left field.

Finally, the South Bend Cubs will offer another specialty homestand food item this week. The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich will be available at the Waveland and Sheffield stands throughout the series.
