Pricey 2-foot long burger tops list of food offerings at Texas Rangers games this season

As the Texas Rangers wind up for the new season, look for the massive 2-foot long “boomstick burger” at the Texas 24” stand in section 132 at Globe Life Field.

Thursday is opening day for the Rangers, where they’ll face off against the Philadelphia Phillies at 3:05 p.m. As of Monday, around 1,000 tickets are still available for those wanting to catch the Rangers season and home opener.

Rangers staff and their concession company, Delaware North, were on hand Monday to introduce six new food items making their way to hungry fans this season. Each item will be available at all 81 Rangers home games.

“What do people like when they come to a ballpark? They like hot dogs, hamburgers, nachos, pizza, popcorn, those type of items,” said Casey Rapp, Delaware North’s general manager at Globe Life Field. “So, it’s how do you make a play on those and make it interesting where people want to try it.”

From a big burger to a pizza hot dog, here are the new food creations fans can try this season at the ol’ ballpark.

The Boomstick Burger

If the name “Boomstick” sounds familiar to fans, that’s because its a new play on the 2-foot long hot dog first introduced to fans during the 2012 season.

Swapping out the hot dog, the “Boomstick Burger” is a 2-foot long Nolan Ryan beef patty topped with chili, nacho cheese, jalapenos and fried onion rings on a brioche bun. The Rangers stress the burger is designed to feed up to four people, but those are only suggestions, Rapp said.
