The 2026-27 NHL season is already underway, and the NBA season is right on its heels. But hold up, because Aramark just dropped some major news on the concession front, and honestly, you might need a bigger jersey. While the Philadelphia 76ers are absolutely buzzing after snagging Jaylen Brown and LeBron James in the offseason, turning them into arguably *the* most exciting NBA team, fans heading to Xfinity Mobile Arena for Sixers and Flyers games are in for a whole different kind of treat. We’re talking culinary specialties that sound like straight-up game winners: red chile short rib tacos, a short rib corn dog, chicken Milanese, and a chicken gyro. Seriously, who’s watching the game when that’s on offer?
Arena Eats You Gotta See to Believe
The culinary innovation isn’t just a Philly thing, though. Over at Rocket Arena, the Cleveland Cavaliers are rolling out Delia’s, a brand new stand on the main concourse that’s all about fried chicken. You know those nights when the Cavs are grinding it out? Having a fresh fried chicken spot sounds like a clutch play. And Pittsburgh? The Penguins faithful at PPG Paints Arena are getting Insta Grill! offering up some serious beef birria tacos, packed with Jalisco-style braised beef and Oaxaca cheese. Plus, Tex-Mex chicken quesadillas with Cajun-seasoned chicken, roasted corn, black beans, cheddar jack, and a roasted red pepper crema. That’s not just a snack, that’s a whole experience right there.
From San Antonio’s Crown Defense to Ottawa’s Wild Burger
Down in San Antonio, as the Spurs get ready to defend their Western Conference crown, they’re bringing back their Culinary Residency Program to Frost Bank Center. This means awesome local spots like Spechts Texas, Nanay’s Bakery, Wok Wey, and Magnolia Pancake Haus are getting in on the action. That’s a smart move, giving fans a taste of the city while they cheer on their team. But if you want to talk about a concession headliner, you gotta look north. The Ottawa Senators, who’ve been making the playoffs for the last two seasons and are looking for another postseason hunt even while ranked 19th in power rankings, just renovated their premium hospitality spaces, Brookstreet Lounge and Club Bell. And their big food reveal? The Sen-Sational Poutine Burger. This monster comes with Canadian bison, poutine gravy, cheese curds, and smashed potato tots. Listen, burger aficionados, you’re gonna eat well, no matter how the season shakes out for the Sens.
