As the Dayton Dragons prepare to open the 2024 season Friday, expect three new food offerings at Day Air Ballpark: a create-your-own mac and cheese cart, Sweet & Boozy Ice Cream and Grippo’s Chips.

Due to the popularity of the mac and cheese typically served in the suites and picnic areas, organizers wanted to offer it to all ballpark guests.

The create-your-own mac and cheese cart has a variety of toppings including BBQ meatballs, buffalo chicken, bacon, ham, shredded pepper jack cheese, chopped Doritos or Fritos, diced onions, tomatoes, peas, and black and green olives.
