Stadium Food: Good, Bad, Ugly
 

I did read the warning at the top of the forum before writing this, and decided to place this in the main DiningBuzz forum instead of something geographic because it could technically apply to worldwide dining.

I'm a hockey fan more than anything, so I'll start by offering what to eat and avoid at the home of my New Jersey Devils, the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.

:td: - the pizza...just horrific.

Any fans of particular teams, please feel free to chime in, regardless of your sport's seasonality.

Not necessarily a bad food experience. But I was at the rugby a couple of weeks ago and they ran out of pies before half time:rolleyes:. Needless to say there were some very unhappy fans.

I remember when I was a kid they had these warm jam donuts at the cricket. they were really good.

A few hints:

We went Chase Field to see D-backs game for every 1 time of the month. Where we have a dinner at the ballpark. I have 2 sausage with cook onions. It was just fine. I am really like it at Chase Field all of the time. So sometime where I have get pizzas at Peter Piper. Because McDonalds is no longer at Chae Field. They has been removed out of Chase Field. It was being replacement new fast-food is Fat hamburgers. So unfortunately for former McDonalds is kick them out of the game. So we have Subway is already now in the Chase Field. It is lower level in the main concourse. Sometime that I will expected go back to see D-backs game next week.

I'm loving those links. NY Times says to keep the hell away from the Dodger Dogs while USA Today puts it in their top 10! :D

Criminal that is mate, Was that at my beloved Bluetongue Stadium? They do that all the time!

Most things at the SFS are pretty ordinary!

I need to put in a plug for the mountain oysters at Coors Field, which are,
depending on how you feel, good, bad, and/or ugly at the same time. I
find them good and ugly but easy to OD on, as they're essentially just Fried
Stuff. Interestingly, both of mlshanks's links stadium food links list them.

It was at the SFS. I couldn't believe it. They also ran out of Coke Zero (I BYO my spirits;)) before kickoff. I hope someone got fired over the whole debacle.

Busch Stadium, the best place in the universe for baseball, is also the worst for food. Generic sportservice crap everywhere, no local foods, nothing reflecting the city or its people. Terrible.

Dodger Dogs are evil incarnate. I shudder to think that I'm agreeing with the NYT, but yeah, they are awful.

Yankee Stadium
 

I am sure this could be an entire forum in and of itself. I am a hugee Yankees fan but not a fan of the new stadium at all. The food is overpriced and lacks taste and the beer is certainly overpriced.

On the other hand, I did take a look at the new Citi Field out in Queens and the food there is awesome. Shake Shack, Blue Smoke, etc. I had an unbelievable shrimp sandwich from the fish place along with a Blue Point Lager all for about $20. A steal when compared to Yankee Stadium.

It feels entirely bizarre to be on an international travel forum and hearing about Bluetongue Stadium. I'm a coastie too! (And I work for the brewery!)

Good to know, I'm heading there in a couple of months time so I'll be sure to steer clear. Any recommendations? :)

Was the catering company the former employer of a few of the Bali Nine?

Not that it makes any difference, but running out of pies is like an airline running out of fuel - midflight. :mad::mad::mad:

I'm headed over to visit the mescuns... if I get to an AFL game I'll check on the pie situation... couldn't imagine it ever happening at an AFL game considering the sponsorships.

I was lucky enough to have a meal at the emirates stadium in london, one of the finest football grounds in the world and great food.

Dunno who the caterer is. But for as long as I can remember the bar in the members there has been a man who looks alot like a female version of Dennis Hopper, so must be the same caterers?? It's actually amazing the number of men who get their drinks and say, "Thanks love". Not sure how Dennis feels about it though.:D
