Chico’s Cantina, located behind Section 122, has been rebranded as Chico’s Eats & Treats featuring a dessert fare including soft serve ice cream in a cone, sundae, or a cup.
The Largarto Dog & El Vampiro Dog are new takes on the popular Juarez Dogs located at the portable at Sections 105 & 124. The Largato Dog features a bacon wrapped hot dog topped with a chile relleno, pinto beans, spicy ranch, and guacamole and El Vampiro Dog is sure to make fans’ mouth water with a bacon wrapped hot link, topped with guacamole, spicy ranch, and Chihua’rrines crumbles.

• LARGER BASES: The size of first, second and third base will be increased from 15 inches square to 18 inches square at all full-season affiliates to reduce player injuries. Bigger bases were used in 2021 at the Triple-A level and in the Arizona Fall League and were associated with a decrease in the severity of base-related injuries. In addition, the reduction in distance between bases led to a modest increase in the rate of successful stolen base attempts.
• AUTOMATED BALL-STRIKE ("ABS"): In select games in Triple-A, ABS technology will be used to call balls and strikes. In Triple-A West, umpires will call balls and strikes through May 15, and the ABS system will be utilized in all games beginning May 17. In both leagues, the ABS strike zone will approximate the strike zone called by high-level umpires.
