KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Royals fans looking to get back into their ballpark traditions will have some new food offerings when the team takes the field Thursday in the home opener.

Royals concessions partner Aramark Sports + Entertainment announced Monday several new food offerings, including seasonal offerings, “chef collaborations” and classic stadium food.

The 2023 season at Kauffman Stadium will include what the concessionaire is calling KCQ - a nod to Kansas City’s barbecue scene. The collaboration will highlight offerings from Chef J BBQ, Scott’s Kitchen and SMOAK Craft Barbecue.
