It's been exciting to see all 30 Major League Baseball Stadiums safely reopen for the 2021 season, with over half of them opened at full capacity. Baseball fans are returning in droves to watch games, spend time with friends and family, and eat famously-delicious food from concessions. Over the last 5 years, stadiums nationwide have come a long way from serving traditional hot dogs and popcorn to scrumptious gourmet creations that have elevated the stadium dining experience.
