GRAND RAPIDS, MI (WHTC) – Food at a ballpark can be a bit on the mediocre side, but the West Michigan Whitecaps are trying to change that stereotype by asking fans to come up with a brand new food item to be sold at their home field, Fifth Third Ballpark in Grand Rapids.
This is the seventh year that they are holding the promotion, with past winners being the “Baco” (a taco shell made out of bacon) and last year’s winner, the “Hot-to-Tot” (a combination of tater tots, hot sauce, and bleu cheese).
Fans can submit their food idea to the Whitecaps Facebook page, twitter account, Instagram account, or via email at playball@whitecapsbaseball.com. Submissions are due by Friday, Jan 29 and on Wednesday, Feb 24 fans can start voting for their choice for the new 2016 concessions item. Voting will take place at www.whitecapsbaseball.com.
The West Michigan Whitecaps will open their 2016 season on Saturday, April 9.
