Here's What's On The Menu At Minor League Ballparks This Summer
Last season, Minor League Baseball (MiLB) drew more than 30 million fans across its 120 teams all over the United States. From Triple-A parks in big cities to Low-A gems tucked into small towns, the growing crowds signal more than just a love for the game. It's a hunger for the experience, and that includes what's being served up in the stands.
Of course, when it comes to ballpark eats, everyone has their go-to. For some, it's all about sticking with the classics, like an ice-cold beer in one hand and a perfectly charred hot dog in the other. But plenty of fans show up ready to explore the wilder side of concessions, chasing down deep-fried experiments, regional specialties, or outrageous sweets that practically beg to be photographed before the first bite.
And this year, teams aren't holding back. Whether it's a six-foot-long monster dog stacked with pulled pork, mac and cheese, and jalapeños, a towering stack of loaded fried green tomatoes, or ice cream nachos drizzled with caramel and chocolate, MiLB food is going full throttle.

If summer had a flavor, it might taste like this: Malibu, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, and a splash of Sprite topped off with a cherry or orange slice for a tropical touch. It's bubbly, beachy, and dangerously sippable.

Treylon Burks being evaluated after injuring shoulder in practice
Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks said recently that he hopes to stay healthy so he can show what he's capable of doing on the field, but that plan has hit a snag. Head coach Brian Callahan told reporters on Saturday that Burks is being evaluated for a shoulder injury. Burks left the team's practice at Nissan Stadium after making a diving catch. Callahan said the team will update the wideout's condition when they have more information. Burks is returning from a torn ACL that limited him to five games last season. The 2022 first-round pick also missed 12 games over his first two NFL seasons, so the team has plenty of experience playing without him over the last three years. UPDATE 2:50 p.m. ET: NFL Media reports Burks fractured his collarbone.

Report: Treylon Burks fractured his collarbone
Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks injured his shoulder during Saturday's practice at Nissan Stadium and the initial report about his condition suggests he's going to miss time with the injury. NFL Media reports that Burks fractured his collarbone while making a catch during the workout. The wideout is still undergoing tests to determine the severity of the injury and establish a timeline for recovery, but the report says he is expected to miss the start of the regular season at the very least. It's an unfortunate and familiar predicament for Burks. The 2022 first-round pick missed 12 games over his first two seasons and he missed the final 12 games of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL. Burks has 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown when he has been healthy enough to play. Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, and Tyler Lockett are joined by fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in the Titans' receiving corps. The Burks injury could help undrafted rookie Xavier Restrepo's chances of sticking with college teammate Cam Ward through the cut to 53 players.
