The Yankees are back in the Bronx for their home opener on Friday. Fans at Yankee Stadium will get a taste of this season’s new concessions.
Veteran journalist Lloyd Carroll believes that Major League Baseball teams must elevate their food offerings to attract fans. “Giving people another reason to come to the ballpark will surely increase attendance,” Carroll said.
New food items at Yankee Stadium this year include the Sticky Que Sandwich from Streetbird, Lucky Fries from Fuku, and Empanadas from Nuchas. Bronx native Christian Petroni is also introducing his “Parm to Table” concept, showcasing Italian-American dishes.
Sweet tooth fans can rejoice as the iconic Magnolia Bakery makes its debut this year. Additionally, there’s a unique mini chicken bucket – ice cream coated in candied corn flakes shaped like drumsticks for a fun twist.
Chef Robert Flowers ensures that there are still reasonably priced options like hot dogs for fans looking to save on costs. The stadium food scene has certainly come a long way from just peanuts and Cracker Jacks.
So, if you’re headed to a game, get ready to indulge in a variety of culinary delights at Yankee Stadium.
