What happened to “buy me some peanuts and crackerjack” when going to a summer baseball game? Or grabbing a Ballpark frank to enjoy in your seat while watching your favorite players in the field? Today’s baseball game foods have evolved and the ballparks are in a heated battle to win fans over with their hottest new menu item.

Gone are the days when a Chicago Dog, with its secret celery salt flavoring, was an elaborate gourmet meal at the ballpark. Now you can get a Halo Dog, a hot dog loaded with charro beans, bacon, shredded cheese and topped with pico de gallo when you watch the Anaheim Angels play the field. Times have changed, my friend!

Top Five Ballpark Foods You Have To See To Believe

5 – Nachos on a Stick

Milwaukee Brewers fans can get a little south of the border without messy cheese dripping off their fingers at Miller Park. Nachos on a Stick are skewers of beef heaped with refried beans and rolled in crushed Doritos. The sticks are then deep fried and drizzled with melted cheese and sour cream. Eating nachos on a stick at the ballpark allows you to eat with one hand and drink with the other!

 

4 – The Strasburger

Washington Nationals fans love to share with one another, which is evident by their 8 pound, 8,000 calorie giant burger! The sandwich is topped with traditional burger toppings as well as the ballpark’s famous secret sauce, a recipe they aren’t sharing. Be sure to bring lots of friends to the ballpark and have plenty of napkins handy when you visit Nationals Park this summer!

 

3 – The Boomstick

Texas Rangers fans love everything big in Texas, and that goes for their ballpark hot dog. This isn’t just your average hot dog. It is two feet long, covered in chili, dripping with nacho cheese and decorated with spicy jalapeños and onions, then stuffed into a potato bun. Now that’s something the Texas Rangers Ballpark in Arlington can boast about!

 

2 – The Brunch Burger

Pittsburgh Pirates fans don’t care if it is an early or late game with this crazy concoction at PNC Park that combines breakfast and lunch into one sandwich. The brunch burger is a beef hamburger patty, topped with bacon, cheddar cheese and a fried egg, crammed between two glazed donuts covered with sprinkles in the team’s yellow, black and white colors. Bring your sweet tooth to this ballpark!

 

1 – Rocky Mountain Oysters

Colorado Rockies fans take culinary creations to new depths with their “oysters” that are not really from the sea! Believe it or not, these “oysters” are really deep fried bull testicles! You heard that right! Fearless fans at Coors Field love them and dare you to take on the challenge when you visit their ballpark. Try them once, and you just might find another reason to come back to the ballpark to see a Rockies game!

 

Baseball fans everywhere flock to the ballpark in the hopes that their stadium has an unusual food on their concession stand menu. While all of these unique foods sound exciting, I still like my Chicago Dog at Wrigley Field along with peanuts in the shells and the goodness of a box of sweet caramel crackerjack when I cheer on the Cubs!
