Now Serving At The Ballpark

Bridgewater, New Jersey – On a day that the Patriots along with the Kalafer family unveiled the new SK Club presented by P.C. Richard and Son, the team also revealed a fresh lineup of concession offerings in the new hospitality area to invited guests and partners that are available to fans at TD Bank Ballpark throughout the 2024 campaign.

“Every year we come up with new ideas,” said HomePlate Catering & Hospitality Vice President/General Manager Mike McDermott. “It is something that is necessary – it is like a baseball team; you get new players and eventually some players age out and their time runs out. Trends are different, you have the foodies that like to tweet their meals and so we try to come up with new ideas that people will talk about.”

22 West Tap & Grill, a local favorite located just two miles from the ballpark in Bridgewater, will join the ballpark food scene this season with a chicken sandwich menu that will be available near section 215. Among the 22 West offerings will be a special Red, White & Blue chicken sandwich, which is garnished with mozzarella, roasted red peppers and a bright blue slaw to bring the patriotic spirit all season long.

Another local community staple, Prima Pizza Kitchen in Somerville, is coming up the road to TD Bank Ballpark this season to serve fresh slices of cheese and pepperoni pizza to fans along the first baseline.

Mozzarella Italian & Mexican Cucina, located in New Brunswick, has become a hit at the ballpark over the last few seasons when the team has shifted to their Zorros identity as part of Minor League Baseball’s Copa de la Diversion initiative. The Italian and Mexican restaurant will be back at the ballpark again in 2024 serving up fresh taco varieties near section 217.

Nothing says New Jersey quite like your favorite local diner. In 2024, the Patriots will debut their alternate identity as the Jersey Diners for three special days beginning with their June 8 matchup against the Hartford Yard Goats. A few of the diner specials unveiled will be available including Disco fries, the classic platter of french fries topped with gravy and melted cheese. Another diner staple that will debut is the “Happy Waitress,” a hearty grilled cheese sandwich with freshly sliced tomato and crispy bacon.

“We actually went to a diner just to try different items and to see how they operate and so we got some ideas from them as to what their most popular items were and were Jersey items,” said McDermott. “These are two that are synonymous with New Jersey and people know what they are. There will be some new ones that should pop up for the second or third game.”

Somerset has partnered with Taylor Pork Roll this season, and no matter what you like to call it, there will be no debate about where to find your favorite Jersey delicacy at the ballpark. Among the offerings presented was a classic pork roll & cheese sandwich and a burger topped with lettuce, tomato, pickle and pork roll.

Two Fields Bake Shop, based out of Berkely Heights, will debut at TD Bank Ballpark this season by bringing gluten-free and allergy-friendly baked treats for fans. Among the options will be cookies and brownies that will come prepackaged and baked fresh from their safe kitchen in a certified gluten-free facility.
