ARAMARK Celebrates Baseball Day with Both New and Traditional Menu Items at Ballparks Across the Country.

PHILADELPHIA -- ARAMARK (NYSE:RMK), a world leader in managed services, today announced its support of Baseball Day (June 26, 2005) by celebrating the assorted flavors of ballpark food that have contributed to the game and the total fan experience over the years. As the game of baseball has evolved since Abner Doubleday invented it in 1839, so too have the tastes and smells of ballpark food. While baseball fans can still find the traditional hot dog and peanuts at each of the 20 major league and minor league baseball stadiums where ARAMARK manages food service, ballpark menus have come of age to reflect today's fans' diverse tastes.

Even the standard hot dog is not exempt from change. Fans can still order the traditional Fenway frank in Boston, but how about a Texas dog topped with chili, cheese and jalapenos at Minute Maid Park in Houston, corndogs at Coors Field in Denver, and veggie dogs at McAfee Coliseum in Oakland.

"Fans' tastes continue to change, so we continually adapt our offerings," said Sean Rooney, President, Stadiums & Arenas, ARAMARK Sports and Entertainment Services. "We partner with the teams, and the cities in which we operate, to ensure that off-the-field fun - including new and innovative food - is as enjoyable as the game itself."

ARAMARK also is tuned into regional cuisine and offers hometown favorites across the country. PNC Park in Pittsburgh serves Benkovitz Seafood's fish sandwiches, Coors Field offers Rocky Mountain oysters, there are crab cakes at Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards, lobster at Boston's Fenway Park, and Geno's cheesesteaks at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

From brewpubs and BBQ stands run by former major league players to full-service restaurants, dining destinations within the ballpark are growing in popularity. To accommodate fans' wide-ranging appetites, ARAMARK works with its partners to create these destinations, such as Ashburn Alley at Citizens Bank Park and Yawkey Way at Fenway Park, that provide fans with an additional opportunity to enjoy ballpark food while watching the game.

As minor league baseball continues to grow in popularity, minor league baseball parks are serving up some of the most affordable summertime family fun. From concessions stands devoted to kids to family picnic areas, fans of all ages can enjoy America's favorite pastime, while eating their favorite ballpark food.

Major and minor league ballparks are even adjusting their menus to meet the needs of more health conscious fans. Some of the healthier options fans can find at the ballparks are grilled chicken, salads, baked potatoes, fresh fruit, and veggie burgers, dogs and wraps.

ARAMARK currently manages dining operations for 12 Major League Baseball stadiums -- Atlanta's Turner Field, Anaheim's Angel Field, Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Boston's Fenway Park, Coors Field in Denver, Minute Maid Park in Houston, Minneapolis' Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, New York's Shea Stadium, Oakland's McAfee Coliseum, Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh's PNC Park at North Shore and Washington, DC's RFK Stadium. ARAMARK's eight minor league partners include Brooklyn's Keyspan Park, U.S. Steel Yard in Gary, Indiana, Victory Field in Indianapolis, Silver Cross Field in Joliet, Illinois, Las Vegas' Cashman Field, Applebee's Park in Lexington Kentucky, The Diamond in Richmond, Virginia, and Alexian Field in Schaumburg, Illinois.
