We ate and drank our way around the ballpark at the Charlotte Knights' opening game to update our guide to Truist Field eats for the 2025 season.

It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

The results: We were stuffed by the time the fireworks started going off after the Knights brought home a win.

You can get a lot more than just peanuts and Cracker Jack at a baseball game these days — and there are some new additions to this year's menu that you've got to try.
