JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A new era of Jacksonville Suns baseball includes a complete menu makeover at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.

The staff of First Coast Concessions, LLC, completely overhauled the food and beverage operation at the ballpark and built a FUNdamentally Different menu for the Suns season opening Thursday, April 7.

From locally-themed concession stands to all-new group picnic and suite menus, the appetizing choices awaiting guests are unprecedented in the history of the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.

“We sought to totally reimagine the dining experience at the ballpark, and give our guests reasons to come out again and again to taste what is new,” said Suns owner Ken Babby. “With food and beverage offerings that are delicious and affordable, the flavors and value at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville will be FUNdamentally Different!”

Entering the first year under new ownership, the Suns established their new food and beverage department as First Coast Concessions, LLC. The full-time staff includes Mary Nixon as Assistant General Manager of Food and Beverage and Special Events, Ernest Hopkins as Director of Food and Beverage, and Tina Gray-Young and Juanita Millhouse as Food and Beverage Managers.

“Our priority as the new food and beverage team was an entirely new level of quality and variety, with outstanding customer service,” said Suns Assistant General Manager of Food and Beverage and Special Events Mary Nixon. “Our new food and beverage team cannot wait for guests to taste the new menu Thursday!”
