ALLENTOWN, Pa. — All that was missing were palm trees and a ballgame.
They’re called Keystone Cabanas, the latest amenities to improve the fan experience at Lehigh Valley IronPigs games.
The cabanas were revealed at a news conference Wednesday at Coca-Cola Park, the IronPigs' home stadium.
“It’s premium hospitality seating that overlooks Coca-Cola Park. The view and the experience will be amazing.”Kurt Landes, president and CEO, Lehigh Valley IronPigs
The nine cabanas — two separate sections with four cabanas each and another separate section with one — are at the top of the lawn beyond the center field fence.
Each individual cabana measures 12 feet wide and 22 feet deep.
Constructed of black aluminum, each cabana can accommodate 15 guests at a total price of $555, or $37 per ticket.
The cabanas consist of a mix of chair and couch seating, a fire table, a drink rail and a large flat-screen TV.
Each ticket includes hot dogs, hamburgers, potato chips and non-alcoholic beverages.
“This is an amazing new fan amenity at the ballpark,” IronPigs President Kurt Landes said. “It’s premium hospitality seating that overlooks Coca-Cola Park. The view and the experience will be amazing.”
Guests also will have the option to BUY additional menu options — such as pierogies or desserts or beer — for an additional fee.
'Demand for private hospitality insatiable'
Cabana tickets went on sale on Wednesday for the 2026 season, which will begin Friday, March 27 versus the Toledo Mud Hens at Coca-Cola Park.
The cabanas were constructed by Keystone Outdoor Living, of Lancaster, over 14 days in September.
While the cabanas will debut in March, the project has been simmering on the back burner for nearly 15 years.
“I’m always looking for ways to improve the ballpark,” Landes said. “This has long been something I thought would be a great addition.
"I would joke with my owners, who in their minds I believed didn't think this was a high priority. I would joke with one of our two owners, Craig Stein, that I’d call the cabanas Craigbanas.
“We’re thrilled to bring people together through exceptional outdoor living spaces, just like the IronPigs bring families and friends together through baseball.”Marcus Stoltzfus, marketing director at Keystone Outdoor Living
“Then we got tripped up by COVID and also had other improvements with the stadium video boards.
“But then we were able to kind of look at this and truly understand the impact it would have, especially over the course of the last 10, 12, 14 years as the demand for private hospitality has been insatiable.”
Marcus Stoltzfus, marketing director at Keystone Outdoor Living, detected a “natural synergy” between the IronPigs and his company from the very beginnings of the project.
“We’re thrilled to serve this community throughout our partnership and beyond,” Stoltzfus said.
“We’re thrilled to bring people together through exceptional outdoor living spaces, just like the IronPigs bring families and friends together through baseball.”
