Pickle pizza and pork butt platters are among the new concessions debuting at Target Field for Thursday's Twins home opener.
The big picture: The Twins rolled out about 21 new food and drink options at a media preview on Tuesday.
Kyle's thought bubble: My favorite was the Truly On Deck restaurant's grilled Spam sandwich with bacon and onions.
- The Minnesota-native meat could prove divisive with fans. Try it once!
Plus: The new Kramarczuk's sausage — a "Cherry Bomb," with dried fruit and a nice kick — also ranked high for me.
- They're selling it on an epic six-sausage sampler flight.
The intrigue: Fans will be able to ring up their own food orders at new self-checkout kiosks in sections 105 and 109 — historically one of the ballpark's busiest concession areas, the team said.
Stunning stat: The new kiosks could speed up checkout for ballpark essentials — brats, fries, cheese curds and drinks — by as much as 40%, Delaware North manager Pete Spike told Axios.
- The stands expand on a concept previously only used at Target Field for beverage sales.
