It’s the summer. The sun’s out. It’s hot. I might melt and it’s not even August. While I would love to indulge in a 68-degree thermostat, America’s favorite pastime is in full swing and I’m here for all things baseball! And by baseball, I mean I’m here for the concessions. All of them.
Sure, it’s fun to go hear the melodious clink of a baseball meeting an aptly-swung bat, but if you aren’t secretly there for the food too then you are totally missing out. Especially if you’re at the newly named Keesler Federal Park watching our very own Biloxi Shuckers dominate Class AA minor league baseball.
There’s truly something special about the combination of summer, baseball, hot dogs and even fireworks. It gives me major The Sandlot vibes and takes me back to a simple time of being able to enjoy an incredibly fun sport while snacking on all the delicious food with my friends and family.
Ballpark concessions are in a culinary
class all their own. Give me golden yellow melted gooeyness from a can poured atop salted chips with a sprinkling of jalapeños and I’m set. But even ballgame favorites deserve an upgrade every now and then and the team at Keesler Federal Park has taken their concessions game to an entirely new and exciting level. If you haven’t noticed, major renovations have taken place at the Shuckers Stadium from the installation of a Tiki Bar to the opening
of a small beach and splash pad. But the biggest highlight is the opening of brand new concessions throughout the ballpark and there is guaranteed to be something for everyone.
Oakview Group is the proprietor of all things delicious at the ballpark and the team has worked tirelessly to bring fans something new, exciting, and unique to the Coast. Everything is made in-house and providing fresh, exciting food has become the number one priority. Concession
