The summer of social distancing, unfortunately, means fans aren't able to fulfill the tradition of going to the baseball stadium but to satisfy baseball-deprived fans, HEINZ is stepping up to the "plate" with the launch of the new HEINZ Stadium Ketchup Kit.
200 lucky fans will get receive the kit that includes an iconic HEINZ stadium-style ketchup dispenser with HEINZ Tomato Ketchup, a coupon for a free package of OSCAR MAYER Hot Dogs, hot dog trays, napkins, and a HEINZ red foam finger to cheer teams on from afar. Fans who prefer mustard and live in Illinois will get a chance to win a HEINZ Stadium-Style Yellow Mustard instead.
“We’re going to miss serving fans in stadiums as much as they’ll miss going to games this year,” said Shelly Hayden, brand manager, HEINZ Ketchup. “HEINZ has always been a familiar sight atop stadium hot dogs, and we’re looking forward to bringing that nostalgic duo to people’s homes this baseball season, just in time for Opening Day.”
To get your hands on one of the 200 HEINZ Stadium Ketchup Kit, baseball fans and ketchup lovers alike can visit the Heinz Stadium Ketchup website until July 24 at 4:59 p.m. CST.
