Impossible Burger Makes Stadium Debut with Oakland A’s

The Impossible Burger is making its pro sports stadium debut today in California, at the Oakland Alameda Coliseum. Impossible Foods worked with leading venue manager Spectra Food Services and Hospitality, managers of the Oakland Alameda Coliseum, to provide the plant-based burger to fans.

The Impossible Burger will be served in two locations at the ballpark: Concession Stand 123 and Shibe Park Tavern. The burgers make their debut on "Opening Day," Thursday, March 29, when the Oakland A's play against the Los Angeles Angels at 1:05 p.m.

"The quality and variety of food offerings at the ballpark is a key part to the fan experience," said A's President Dave Kaval. "We love the story behind the Impossible Burger. It is not only cutting edge and innovative in its approach to food production, but it is also the best plant-based burger currently on the market. We are thrilled to be the first team to offer it to our fans."

The Oakland Alameda Coliseum -- one of 175 Spectra-managed stadiums nationwide -- will offer the Impossible Burger in two signature stylings, along with a wide variety of toppings, sauces, and sides. The burgers, created by Executive Chef Effie Spiegler, include Impossible "French Onion" Sliders with caramelized balsamic onions, oil-cured tomatoes, brie spread and brioche slider buns at Concessions Stand 123, as well as an Impossible "Breakfast Burger" with oil-cured tomatoes, applewood-smoked bacon, a sunny side egg, ghost pepper cheese, bacon aioli and a brioche bun at Shibe Park Tavern.

"As a leader in sporting venue management, the Spectra team is proud to be the first to serve the popular Impossible Burger to Oakland A's fans," said Regional Vice President for Spectra Food Services & Hospitality Jay Satenspiel. "Impossible Foods' manufacturing facility is also in Oakland, and we love to partner with neighbors who are contributing to the city's thriving economy, and share the 'Rooted in Oakland' mantra."
