Spoiler: the spangram and answers
Spangram: CONCESSIONS
Theme words: BEER, CANDY, FRIES, POPCORN, PRETZEL, SODA, WATER.
The answer set is corroborated by Insider Gaming, TechRadar, and the WordFinder archive. No official NYT puzzle page was available among the sources for this answer, so this is a strongly corroborated solution rather than a claim of direct official verification.

How the theme fits
CONCESSIONS names the stands or service points where the seven theme answers—BEER, CANDY, FRIES, POPCORN, PRETZEL, SODA, and WATER—are commonly sold at a sporting event or theater. Strands is a daily themed word-search game available on the NYT website and NYT Games app. Insider Gaming describes its board as a 6×8 letter grid: theme words turn blue, the spangram turns yellow, and finding three off-theme words reveals an in-game hint. Those gameplay details are from Insider Gaming’s guide, not an official rules citation.
