Every baseball season in Phoenix, thousands of fans head to Chase Field to watch the Arizona Diamondbacks compete. For 28 years, since 1998, Cactus Corn has been popping fresh corn for Diamondbacks fans, becoming as much a part of the game-day experience as the crack of the bat and the desert sunset.
The Early Days: 1998 and the New Ballpark Era
When Cactus Corn started in 1998, Chase Field was brand new, opening that same year as the Arizona Diamondbacks' first season. The timing was perfect for a local vendor with fresh, quality popcorn to become part of that inaugural experience. Families who attended those first Diamondbacks games often discovered Cactus Corn in the stadium, and many of those early memories created lifelong loyalty.
A Consistent Presence Through Arizona Baseball History
Over 28 years, Chase Field has hosted some of baseball's greatest moments — the Diamondbacks' 2001 World Series championship, Randy Johnson, Luis Gonzalez, and Curt Schilling. Through all of it, Cactus Corn has been there, providing popcorn that tastes fresh and flavorful. The consistency speaks volumes about the company's values.
Local Business in a National Context
While larger snack corporations dominate most professional sports venues across the country, Cactus Corn represents something valuable that Phoenix has maintained. Every time a fan buys Cactus Corn at Chase Field instead of a nationally distributed snack, they're supporting a Phoenix-based company that employs local people and pays taxes in Arizona.
If you're a Diamondbacks fan planning to catch a game, make a point to grab some Cactus Corn popcorn. Head to cactuscorn.com to explore their full range of flavors.
