“As we ramp up to our 2026 Home Opener this Saturday and what promises to be a groundbreaking year for soccer in North America, we’re excited to seize this moment and elevate the fan experience,” said Colorado Rapids Chief Business Officer, Haley Durmer. “This offseason, we did a lot of listening and one of the items that came through loud and clear was that the Rapids gameday experience needed more Colorado flavor, and we took that literally. We’re thrilled to welcome five new local, Colorado concessionaire partners to the stadium this season to bring a true taste of home to the Rapids gameday. Fan favorites like GB Fish & Chips and Maria’s Empanadas have long been a part of our soccer community, and we can't wait to offer them, and more, to our fans this year.”

“In collaboration with the Rapids, we have curated a delicious lineup of food and beverage options for this season that truly represent Colorado’s vibrant culinary culture,” said Lauren Courtway, General Manager of Hospitality at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park for Legends Global. “From the introduction of the Burgundy Bites menu to the return of ballpark classics and arrival of celebrated local favorites, there will be something for every fan to enjoy.”

GB FISH & CHIPS:
Alex Stokeld opened Get Battered in May 2007 after years of dreaming about a chippie in his hometown of Denver. He spent most of his summers growing up in England visiting his massive family (his dad was one of sixteen children). Naturally, he fell in love with fish & chips, especially in places like Brighton, Lowestoft, and Whitby.
He realized he couldn't spend $800 every time he had a craving for fish & chips, so he opened his own fish and chip shop in Denver. The search for the perfect location took a few months, and as soon as the lease was signed, Alex picked up a hammer and went straight to work. Converting a computer shop into a restaurant was not a simple task, but after 4 months, a restaurant was built.
GB prepares and serves some of Colorado's most delicious and critically acclaimed fish & chips. We also serve the tastiest homemade, authentic English specialties like Bangers & Mash, Meat Pies, Shepherd’s Pies, Pasties, and, of course, GB Meat Pies. Gbfishandchips.com
