The foul pole in the DBAP’s right field corner has been transformed into a FOWL POLE…thanks to Chic-fil-A. CfA is our newest ballpark dining option.
Durham Bulls fans are delighted with the chicken sandwiches, and the CfA spokescows are promoting “eat mor chikin” throughout the ballpark. Co-opting the foul pole is a unique advertising idea. Bovine marketing brilliance! (Bulls' Account Rep Rich Brady deserves some credit, too.)
If you are a CfA fan you know that the restaurants are closed on Sunday. Consequently, we won’t be serving up CfA on Sundays. I certainly respect that.
I have long revered CfA’s success. They have stood firmly on founder Truett Cathy’s faith and principles, seemingly sacrificed 1/7th or better of their market share, yet remained a resounding success in the fast food industry:
“I believe no amount of business school training or work experience can teach what is ultimately a matter of personal character. Businesses are not dishonest or greedy, people are. Thus, a business, successful or not, is merely a reflection of the character of its leadership.” (Truett Cathy)

The current home stand continues through June 22nd. Join us for Bulls' baseball and a Chick-fil-A sandwich.

BREAKING NEWS...this just in:
The Bulls broke their single game attendance record on Friday night, 6/19. Paid attendance: 11,300.
Breaking a business record in a record recession; that's a good omen!
Thanks to Cree...to their employees and family members. I'm pretty sure that their humongous company picnic pushed us over the top.
