Citi Field food refresh
Citi Field just added three new concessions — Amazin Chicken Co. (hot honey chicken dog), Metropolitan Fry Factory, and Willets Point Brewery — with the latter promoting a 9‑9‑9 burger challenge. The ballpark refresh is billed as new local flavors and late-season concessions to watch during games. (x.com)
Citi Field unveiled its 2026 food lineup at a March 18 media event and announced more than 30 new menu items in time for the Mets’ March 26 Opening Day. (forbes.com) Amazin’ Chicken’s official ballpark listing shows menu items including Amazin’ Chicken Tenders, an Amazin’ Chicken Bucket, a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich tossed in chipotle butter and hot honey, and Cheesy Tater Kegs. (mlb.com) The Metropolitan Fry Factory entry in Citi Field’s dining guide highlights hand-cut fries with options like Plain, Salt & Vinegar and a “Citi Spiced” seasoning, plus battered “Crispy Pickles” as a signature item. (mlb.com) Photos from the March 18 display show Willets Point’s 9‑9‑9 offering presented as nine mini beers and nine mini hot dogs, a format several outlets and commentators described as a “watered-down” or snack-sized take on the viral challenge. (yahoo.com) The Willets Point name used at the ballpark connects to the Mets’ July 30, 2025 announcement that Mets Events would rebrand as Willets Point Entertainment, effective July 31, 2025. (mlb.com) Citi Field’s official dining guide places the new concepts within the ballpark’s “Taste of the City” footprint and also notes Citi Field’s USA Today Readers’ Choice recognition as best baseball stadium food in recent years.
