“Opening Day and the start of the baseball season is always one of the most exciting times on our calendar,” said Alison Birdwell, president and chief executive officer of Aramark Sports + Entertainment. “As the guest experience is our top priority, this past offseason we took a deep dive into analyzing consumer purchasing behaviors to ensure we have the best idea of what our fans want.

We’re thrilled to kick off the 2025 MLB season with the launch of these culinary creations.”
