(Reading, PA) – The Reading Fightin Phils are rolling out an expanded lineup of food and beverage options for the 2026 season, bringing a mix of ballpark classics and new flavors to fans at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Headlining the additions is the Berks Dill Pickle Dog, now available at the Plaza Grill. This new twist on a ballpark staple delivers a bold, local flavor that’s sure to become a fan favorite early in the season.

Later this year, the Fightins will also welcome Sticky Fingers, a brand-new concession stand set to open during the season. Sticky Fingers will feature BBQ Crispy and Spicy Chicken Sandwich options, adding another go-to destination for fans looking for something hearty between innings.

Fans will also notice enhanced snack selections throughout the ballpark. The Plaza Grill, Longstrike, and Sticky Fingers locations will all feature expanded grab-and-go options, including Super Pretzels, popcorn, chips, and Doritos—perfect for a quick bite without missing any of the action.

A new Bavarian-style pretzel will be available at the main pizza stand, offering another classic ballpark treat with a fresh twist.

Dessert options are getting an update as well. New ice cream novelty items will rotate into the stands, including a Strawberry Shortcake Bar, a Reese’s Ice Cream Stick, and a SpongeBob Popsicle, all alongside the fan-favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich.

On the beverage side, fans can stay refreshed with Celsius Wild Berry, available at Sticky Fingers, while the Yuengling Hometown Taproom will feature a specialty mocktail, the “Wild Berry Fizz,” giving fans a new non-alcoholic option with a kick of flavor.
