The Pittsburgh Pirates are ready to welcome fans to PNC Park on Friday for the team's 2026 home-opening game.
Just as the team has new players on the field, new food is set to be sold at concession stands this season. The team said traditional Pittsburgh staples, including pierogies, kielbasa and chipped ham, inspired many of the new items fans can try.
"Every year, we work with our partners Aramark Sports and Entertainment to add to our already extensive food offerings to include items that will surely be must-haves for fans attending a Pirates game," Pirates president Travis Williams said before the season.
