South Bend Cubs announce extended menu options

(Jon Zimney/95.3 MNC)

Fans heading to Four Winds Field this season can expect more than just baseball.

The South Bend Cubs have announced expanded menu options for the 2026 season, bringing a wider variety of food and beverage choices to the ballpark.

New offerings include regional favorites, specialty concessions, and updated classic stadium fare designed to enhance the fan experience.

Team officials say the goal is to provide something for everyone, from traditional ballpark snacks to unique, locally inspired dishes.

The upgrades are part of ongoing efforts to improve game-day atmosphere and keep fans coming back.

The new menu will debut on Opening Day which is Friday, April 3, giving attendees a fresh taste of the season ahead.

LOCAL VENDORS ADDED TO THE ROSTER

New at Sweet Spot is Niles, Michigan based ice cream provider The GOAT (Greatest of All Time) Ice Cream Billy Sandwiches, available in vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. GOAT Ice Cream is locally sourced and uses natural ingredients.

Munster based brewery 3Floyds has a new beverage stand behind home plate called Deluxe Dugout. Popular beers like Zombie Dust, Gumballhead, and Floyds Deluxe will be available in addition to other ballpark favorites.

WHAT’S A DIRTY SODA?

Dirty soda is a customizable, non-alcoholic drink made by adding flavored syrups, cream (like half-and-half or coconut cream), and sometimes fresh fruit (like lime) to a base soda, creating a creamy, dessert-like beverage. Popularized by Utah-based soda shops and social media, it’s a popular alternative to coffee and tea, with no set rules for combinations.

Drink options will include Poppi, Alani, and Pepsi products with assorted syrup flavors and creams. These new drink options will be available in the suite and premium areas. However, guests on the concourse will have the chance to create their own. Additional details will be announced soon.

Opponent cocktails also return at all concourse bars including the new Bacardi Cocktail Corner on the 1st base side of the concourse (see below for schedule).
