Re: New Season - New Food

That's the last time I ask anyone for a ballpark figure then

Americans might not be perfect but we have absolutely mastered food served at sporting events.

Just me, but at Citi field last week, I found the constant shouting that beer/hot dogs/pretzels/nuts/candy/candy floss/burgers/drugs were for sale quite annoying.

Reminds me of the terraces at London grounds in the 70s - a bloke wandering up and down the gangways shouting "PEANUTS!! Get your roasted peanuts!", that was irritating too.

Any distraction from the Mets is welcome!

I've just googled "ballpark food" and some of the food shown you need a ball park to fit it in, astonishing sizes and prices.

Americans might not be perfect but we have absolutely mastered eating shit loads of food served at sporting events.

Edited for accuracy :-)

You have a point but you also have to admit that some of this stuff looks pretty good:

The amount of times you see kids with a foot long hot dog (young kids, not teens) trying to work out how the hell to eat it is funny.

Not much veggie choice on that menu - pizza and wedges from what I could see. Give me a cheese and onion pie. Actually, I'd be getting it from Tony's Stadium Chippy not in the ground.

Re: New Season - New Food

Say what you want about the price or how different the food is this season; but at the end of the day, you're there to do one thing, to watch a game of football.

...Oh Just as long as we dont get priced out with the beer too much lol
