The Cardinals are overhauling the culinary experience at State Farm Stadium.
Jeremy Walls, the team’s chief operating officer, introduced more than 50 new food items coming to Cardinals games this season, as the organization tries to reset and improve all things gameday.
“On the football side but also on the business side, we are innovating and we are really focused on the fan experience,” Walls said. “You will hear over the next several weeks about a lot of changes we are making to State Farm Stadium that will be exciting, but (Tuesday) is really about food.”
In surveys with season-ticket members, the team was told fans want more variety in food options, more local presence, and for some, more healthy options. The Cardinals have tried to address that, including adding seven local brands to the four that already had spots in the stadium.
New vendors include Spinato’s Pizzeria, Amelia’s by EAT, Barrio Queen, Kaizen, and Scoopwell’s Dough Bar. Returning brands include Cold Beer And Cheeseburgers, Honey Bears, Lolo’s Tacos, and Pork on a Fork.
“Our fans love your traditional fare, but they like variety because they come to the stadium a lot, and we are making sure we represent the Valley,” Walls said.
Walls added that the in-house food options will also be rebranded for a new, cleaner look when the regular season begins.
Some of the new items introduced include:
