What are typical foods/snacks in Sport arenas around the world?
I've always wondered this.
I suppose it depends on the venue you're watching sports in where I live (New York) Yankee stadium has garbage food, but Washington Heights is right over the bridge so I can get some good chicken or soul food before/after the game.
At MSG for the Knicks or Rangers game I just get pizza on my way into the arena.
What do you eat while at sporting events? Is alcohol as staggeringly overpriced as it is here? $13-15 per beer is the average cost I pay during a sport event. Hence why I usually pre-game/tailgate.

this thread gets posted on /sp/ pretty often and you will likely have more success there

In America, everyone eats lasagna at baseball games.
>>7143909
I figured it would be something with a lot of batter.
At football grounds in the UK you're likely to see pork pies being eaten in the stands

If you ever go back, the hands down best quality/value is the NY Steaks. Note that there are two totally unrelated places both named NY Steaks with exactly the same logo, the one you want is behind home plate on the main level. Big ass strip steak for $16. The line can be long and is slow moving, so get there early and prepare to wait. It's worth it.
Be sure to get the cilantro lime dressing if it's available. Otherwise the horseradish sauce is also acceptable.
>>7143847
hot dogs, hamburgers, giant pretzels (with way too much salt on them), french fries, caramel popcorn, bad watery beer.
And you can bet your ass you'll pay $10-15 bucks per item.
It boggles my mind how anyone would willingly put themselves in an environment like that.
Shitty hot dog probably cost $10, too.
>>7143909
Could you imagine a dude walking up and down the stands selling lasagna? top kek
>>7143956
You're not paying for the food, you're paying to eat the food in that environment. No one is saying the price is fair, but that's the nature of capitalism in a captive market.
Reminder: Many stadiums allow you to bring in sealed food and drink (ie, deli wrapped sandwiches and non-alcoholic beverages). But typically, if you can afford the tickets you can afford the food that goes along with it.
>>7143924

Not a chance you retard.
Hot pies are eaten at football matches, not cold ones.
>>7143933

You're not very smart, are you?
these shitty responses are why you need to go to /sp/ for this because here everyone will just call you a fat american
LA did a thing this past season where they created a special hot dog based on the visiting team's city and every stadium has that one crazy food that you need to share with people like this 4 pound cheeseburger. these fags are just going to say overpriced hot dogs hurrrr
here's a pulled pork parfait for $7
>>7143956
Hot dogs at the Texas Ranger games are $1.00. All you can eat seat tickets are $36.00.
>>7143991
>texas
>all you can eat option available everywhere, even at ballparks
I always get hotpockets and mountain dew at MLG tournaments.
Regional: I had an $18 crabcake sandwich at the Raven's stadium in Baltimore once. The bread had mold on it, and they tried to convince me it was just parsley. Kek.
>>7143847
Just posted it in the other thread, but the pulled pork and brisket parfait at Miller Park is tippity fucking top. I really wish they would stop rotating foods though, now they only sell it on club level. Also used to have a fry bar with poutine and shit. Loved the garlic fries with garlic mayo with a strong island, dudes in the smoking section smelled it from 20 feet away.
That and the tailgating... Nothing like getting kicked in after the 3rd inning after consuming your grillables and copious amounts of beer.
I actually work park time at the verizon center in D.C. Ask me anything.

>All you can eat seat tickets are $36.00.
The idea of watching baseball in person used to seem boring, but THIS I can get behind. How does it work, you go to the food counter, flash your ticket and they give you something? No limits? How close are the seats, how long are the lines?
Do they not sell brats at games in all of the country? How do you people possibly sell more hot dogs than brats when brats are so inherently superior?

Yes, sports. Plural for sporting hobbies ie: hunting, skiing, baseball, basketball, football, gof etc etc etc.
Please pick a different major, this one isn't working for you.
Enjoy your ramen noodles.
Nobody cares about this fucking fag shit from like 70 years ago. Fuck baseball and that gay anthem that goes along with it. Bunch of fat retards and people obsessed with fuckers who died 30 years ago. Pay like $50,000 for some 50 year old mint condition piece of cardboard with Mickey Mantle's face on it.
>>7145156
What hobbies do you enjoy anon? Are you mad about the seats only accommodating normal sized people and you were stuck out in an isle in the sun...to drip like a ham...as people bumped into you the entire time you were there?
I'd see that as a very likely habbening.
Foods expensive. We go to an NFL game once a year and all split a mini papa Johns pizza for a snack, sometimes me and my husband might buy a beer. It makes no sense to me to eat a full meal or drink more than one drink at a game, you should be able to last 3-4 hours without food. After the game we have dinner at a restaurant.
I have noticed better food and beer options lately though and many stadiums have a sit down restaurant and bar in them. I don't go, I'm there for a game.
butter pie
>>7145098
New York also has this
>>7145174
Stop pretending to be a neckbeard.
Quite literally the only reason people don't enjoy going to sporting events is because they're outcasts. Have no one to go with and are physically or emotionally unable to compete in a healthy manner.
Obese people are left to roast in the sun or their scooters are chained/harnessed to railings to prevent accidents from happening further enabling their law suit lifestyles.
All of that being said, I enjoy hunting, cook outs with friends/family, spending time with my kids & work is always fun.
>>7145184
Brooklyn Brewery is more fun but yes New York City caters to the needs of ten million fast paced individuals with a wide array of tastes.
>>7145189
What? The joke is that literally none of that is craft beer. Its possible for stadiums to have good beer, most other ones have at last a limited amount of good beer readily available
>>7145194
Depends on who's sponsoring the venue. Budweiser will always reign supreme in Yankee Stadium, I don't know about Shae Stadium.
>>7145185
>Quite literally the only reason people don't enjoy going to sporting events is because they're outcasts
I'm not even the guy you're replying to but you know this isn't true. Not everyone enjoys FOOOTBAAALL as much as you do. I find most sports too boring to watch for more than an hour or so. It just isn't my thing.

>>7145215

I think you are, considering how defensive you are about sports. Everyone is either fat, a shut in, or an outcast of some sort to you. Are you a coach or something?
>>7145217
Nope. Never said that either. Budweiser sucks, as do all A. Busch products but they pay millions of dollars for the ad space, was the point.

So it's retarded because you can't do it, but I'm projecting?
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
>>7145241
Soccer players are way the fuck skinnier than swimmers.
But I am talking about real, professional competitive athletes, not people doing niche sports people only pay attention to for a couple days every 4th year
Just look at a picture of your favorite soccer player next to Lebron
>>7145245
I just got done reading your shit, and I assumed we were only talking about the big 3. Baseball, football, and basketball. I enjoy watching chess matches and adore hunting. But shit like pic related? You defend this flyover-tier shit? Really?

Here is a picture between possibly the best football player (besides maybe Aaron Rodgers) next to the best soccer player. How would you possibly not characterize the soccer guy as skinny

So you're a fat black woman?
I don't enjoy watching basketball, it's a game that doesn't require much skill, some people play it simply because they're very tall, not athletic.
>>7145325
>NASCAR is the most watched sporting event in the U.S.
Not even close.
i already got ass reamed for a ticket and parking
why am i going to give them $20 for some goopy fried shit?
take an extra hour before or after the game and spend that $20 on an awesome meal at a restaurant
or put it towards the next game
>>7145325
>NASCAR is the most watched sporting event in the USA
This is false (even if you disregard the fact that auto racing is not a sport).
The most watched event (sports or otherwise) in america is the Super Bowl, by a huge margin
>>7145332
Yes actually...

My every 4 years comment was in reference to your discussion of niche "sports" such as cycling/swimming/wrestling, not to soccer, I understand that a massive number of poor people without access to better things watch it
>>7145331
>it's a game that doesn't require much skill
I am pretty sure this is not true
>>7145340
Those aren't niche sports they're Olympic events TOPMOTHERFUCKINGKEK!!!!!
>>7145338
read your own link dude. It says "in-season"
So basically it just gets more viewers than the NBA, but this is also misleading because there are much fewer racing events while NBA games are mostly aired in local markets as each team plays 81 games
>>7145345
If being tall is a skill, then no...it's not a skill required sport.
>>7145347
Being primarily known as an "Olympic sport" is pretty much synonymous with being niche
>>7145352
NASCAR is the most commonly viewed sporting event in the entirety of the USA according to that article...for over a decade as well.
What do you eat while watching it? Cigarette butt casserole? 7 layer dip?
>>7145353
it takes much more skill than soccer, its not like every tall person makes the NBA
>>7145356
>niche
>something people across the planet train their entire lives to compete in by the millions and millions
Pick one.
>>7145361
That's not true, if you're 7 foot tall there's a 90% chance you'll play for thr NBA.

>NASCAR is the most commonly viewed sporting event in the entirety of the USA according to that article
No, that is not what it says. Read it again. It had the highest per event viewer average "during the season", which does not coincide with the NFL season. Also this is very misleading as it is only counting their top tier events too, as all actual sports are fragmented with multiple games airing simultaneously and playing many more games.
NFL gets by far the highest viewers per game (college football is a distant second), MLB has the most views over the course of a season. NASCAR does do oddly well, but not nearly as well as you are asserting.
and the super bowl is objectively the most viewed event on american TV
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/02/super-bowl-tv-ratings-2015-patriots-seahawks_n_6595690.html
>>7145367
I don't see how the fact that being tall is required suggests you do not also require skill.
There are upsides to living in Cleveland. We know how to eat, and we know how to drink.
>>7145364
The fact that no one gives enough fucks to pay attention makes it niche, it has nothing to do with the devotion of those participating
Comparing something like swimming to Football or Soccer, its many orders of magnitude less relevant and therefore niche
>>7145358

Yes, the Superbowl is great... that being said the average NASCAR event of any type gets more viewers than the average NFL event, which was the point in making the post.
MOST COMMONLY watched sporting event, is NASCAR.
Stop trying, you're failing miserably.
>>7145462
>1/3 of then entire population of the planet tunes in for the Olympics
for the ceremonies, not to watch cycling/curling or whatever you are advocating. But yeah, I think the fact that people only pay attention once every 4th year after being paired with strong nationalism is pretty strong evidence for calling these sports niche
>>7145465
>that being said the average NASCAR event of any type gets more viewers than the average NFL event
This is not true though, and the previously posted article isn't even trying to suggest this
>>7145465
What are you on about? There's one race a week, no matter what driver or team you follow you watch the same race as everyone else. There are over a dozen football games a week and most of them are aired only locally because they all go on at the same time. So yes, I guess more people are watching the NASCAR race on Sunday instead of the Tennessee titans vs the jaguars game that nobody cares about and is only aired on local stations. That doesn't mean more people watch NASCAR than NFL.
