Inside the best new ballpark food, drinks and treats hitting MLB stadiums
Fans going to Major League Baseball stadiums can enjoy new food and drink options from buckets of nachos to ice cream in mini-helmet.
The new Major League Baseball season starts this week, and fans are excited to get back in the swing of things after an exciting World Series win by the Los Angeles Dodgers and Venezuela's triumph at the World Baseball Classic . Along with watching the baseball action on the field, another part of the appeal of going to the ballpark is eating, because there is nothing better than chowing down between strikeouts, ABS challenges and the occasional idiot running on the field. While the old-school staples of hot dogs, Cracker Jacks and beer will always be on hand for those who don't like experimenting, the new food and drink additions for people who want to challenge their taste buds will have fans stuffing their faces when they sample the new eats at various ballparks.
