The new Sweet stand will also move across the diamond, going to the third-base side behind Section 304, right next to Ike’s Kids Zone. Sweet is the central location for all your favorite ballpark desserts, and new for 2025, you can get World Famous Grilled Stickies or a Hot Fudge Brownie with hand-dipped or soft-serve ice cream in a Spikes Dog Bowl presented by Stuckey Mitsubishi, with a portion of each purchase benefiting Centre County PAWS.
Grown-up Spikes fans will also be able to enjoy delicious drink options at the new Bottom of the Fifth located on the first-base side of the diamond behind Section 305 and the brand-new Home Plate Bar behind Section 105. Both Bottom of the Fifth and the brand-new Home Plate Bar offers numerous beer and mixed drink options along with wine from Seven Mountains Wine Cellarsfor fans of age.
Popcorn and Dippin’ Dots will also be available alongside the brand-new Home Plate Bar, with the Nuts for You stand featuring cinnamon-roasted nuts also returning behind Section 105.
Burgertopia, which previously occupied the Right Field Fun Deck, will now be at a new cart behind Section 201, featuring gourmet burger creations like the Philly Burger, the Western Burger, the Burgertopia Burger, and the Nittany Lion Burger piled high with two pounds of beef.
Fans of the Flashpoint Grille behind Section 103 featuring ballpark staples like burgers, hot dogs, pizza and more, the Steakadelphia Grille behind Section 106 featuring Philly cheesesteaks, and the convenient Grab ‘n’ Go location behind Section 108 for quick snacks and bottled drinks will be able to go to the same spots for those favorites in 2025.
Cashless Concessions Return for 2025
All concessions stands will remain “cashless” for the 2025 season, with all transactions conducted via credit or debit card. However, fans wishing to use cash can head in to Off the Rack Outfitters, the official team store of the Spikes, and purchase a Spikes Gift Card, which can be used the same as a credit or debit card at nearly all of the ballpark concessions stands.
Fans Can Help Pups with Paw-chos & New Treats in Spikes Dog Bowls presented by Stuckey Mitsubishi
While the Spikes’ slate of Bark in the Park nights, which starts this Sunday on Opening Weekend, give fans the chance to bring their dogs to the ballpark, fans also have the chance to help our four-legged friends all season long with tasty ballpark treats in new Spikes Dog Bowls presented by Stuckey Mitsubishi!
These paw-shaped bowls can be filled up with the brand-new Pawchos at the Flashpoint Grille behind Section 103 and the all-new Salsa stand on the Right Field Fun Deck. Pawchos are a delicious combination of tortilla chips, nacho cheese, jalapeños and pico de gallo that are sure to put that dog in you.
Once you’ve finished your Pawchos, or you just have a sweet canine tooth, head to the new Sweet stand behind section 304 next to Ike’s Kids Zone for World Famous Grilled Stickies or a Hot Fudge Brownie with hand-dipped or soft-serve ice cream.
Plus, a portion of the proceeds from every concessions item purchased in a Spikes Dog Bowl presented by Stuckey Mitsubishi will go to Centre County PAWS to help our canine friends all year long.

MLB Pitch Hit & Run to Take Place at PLAY BALL Weekend
Your State College Spikes are hosting an MLB Pitch Hit & Run event at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on Sunday, June 15 at 1 p.m. as part of PLAY BALL Weekend. The festivities will be presented by Penn State Health.
Kids in age groups from 7 to 14 can compete in either baseball or softball pitching, hitting and running, with a Franklin Bat and Ball set for the first 100 to sign up!
Athletes are tested, and their measurements are recorded. Based on their scores, they may advance from a local event to a Team Championship held in MLB stadiums. Top scores then qualify for an all-expenses-paid trip for two to compete at Finals, which is hosted at the World Series.
Last year, 9-year-old Sid Thomas from State College, who started her MLB Pitch Hit & Run journey by winning the 10U Softball division at a local competition at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, took third place in the nation at the MLB Pitch Hit & Run Finals held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
