A combination of the Cougars close proximity to the world-renowned Fermilab, which specializes in exploring high-energy physics, along with a desire to pay homage to the Cougars signature pork chop sandwich is how the Atomic Pork Chops were born.

    To go along with their alter ego, The Atomic Pork Chops will be offering the new Atomic Pork Chop sandwich! Located at the Atomic Pig Pen on the first base side, the 10-ounce boneless butterfly pork chop will be smothered in a special atomic sauce exploding with flavor.

    Of course, you are welcome to inquire anytime, but if it's any more than 3 hours before the scheduled game time you will almost certainly be informed the game is still on.

    If a game is cancelled, it is first posted on the Cougars social media and on our website homepage.
