This is a sensible move by the NBA legend as he expands his chicken sandwich franchise into new markets. Cardinals fans get a new option to pick from during home games.

Big Chicken is available at other sports stadiums as well

Over the last couple of years, Big Chicken has really grown under the watch of Shaquille O’Neal. Prior to Busch Stadium, the restaurant chain opened locations at two NHL teams’ home stadiums. Big Chicken is available at New York Islanders’ UBS Arena and Seattle Krakens’ Climate Pledge Arena. This latest move into the Cardinals’ stadium is to perhaps test MLB waters.
