Cubs Building on Flavor and New Food Items for the 2025 Season

March 27, 2025 - Midwest League (MWL)
South Bend Cubs News Release


SOUTH BEND, IN - As stadium renovations continue ahead of the 2025 season, the South Bend Cubs are renovating their menus and adding a number of new items to the concession stands and suite menus on game day.

Based on the success of last year's popular SMASH burgers, the Cubs will offer a new burger based on their opponent each week. These creations are based on the city's history and team name. The Opponent Burgers will be available at SMASH, located on the 1st base side of the concourse. See the complete schedule below.

In addition to opponent themed burgers, one of a kind opponent cocktails (for adults 21 and older) will be available at the Round Bar, Jack Daniels cocktail cart, & Bell's Rita Cabana. See the complete cocktail list below. NEW for 2025 are frozen wine slushies, available at The Round Bar and the Miller Lite Tiki Hut.

Based off fan feedback from 2024, wraps and salads make a return to the menu in 2025. Grilled Chicken Caesar Wraps will be available at all FlashPoint Grille Concession Stands while salads and taco salads can be purchased at the Cubs Cantina portable located on the 3rd base side of the concourse.

Fans with a sweet tooth will enjoy our brand new freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, served out of the Waveland and Sheffield FlashPoint Grilles. You can also stop by the Addison or Clark FlashPoint Grilles for a Big Bear Sundae or head over to the Sweet Spot for mini funnel cakes, fried apple pies, or Oreo churro bites.

Finally, the Cubs will once again offer special theme night menu items that tie into the unique promotion of the evening. See the complete list below.

Of course, fan favorite staples like the Philly Steak Nachos, BBQ Mac and Cheese bowl, Ben's Soft Pretzel, and Baseball's Best Jumbo Hot Dog will once again be offered this season.
