Camden Yards stands out in my memory. They had fried oysters and clams!
Also, the Minnesota Twins stadium had really great Midwestern food: brats with sauerkraut, corn dogs, interesting food like that
Giants Stadium has good food, too. (It’s SF, of course they have good food.) Dungeness crab, lettuce salads (!), and clam chowder.
PetCo Park in San Diego has tri-tip, and it’s pretty darn good.
Unfortunately, my local team is the Dodgers. I’ve been to many ball parks, and am pretty sure Dodger Stadium has to be in the bottom five for food. We bring peanuts and some fruit and cheese , then go to Chinatown for lunch/dinner on the way home. Sigh…
So last year I attended three Iron Pigs games in Allentown, none in Philly. I sat in the minor league equivalent of the HoF Club: heated/air conditioned, a full bar and probably better food. The sliders and fries were actually pretty good, but most of the menu was pretty unappetizing. Then again, options on the way to & from CBP vs options to & from Coca-Cola Park make the choice to eat and drink at the minor league park more of a no-brainer.
Yep, the paywall prevented me from reading the article. But I will say I buy 5 pounds of peanuts every two weeks to feed the blue jays (the occasional cardinal, woodpecker and a few squirrels). My great nephews love my “trick”–throw out a few handfuls of peanuts in the shell and watch the blue jays descend.
Hopefully sometime this summer we’ll get back to enjoying the patio together.
The Oakland Ballers are now Oakland’s baseball team. In typical Bay Area fashion, Prescott Market, a food hall went up around the corner, acts as a de facto concession. It was nicely done.
The baseball situation here in the Tampa area is a hot mess. The back-to-back hurricanes 18 months ago ripped the vinyl roof off of Tropicana Stadium in downtown St Pete, so the Rays played last season at the Yankees’ spring-training facility in Tampa.
They just got the roof replaced at Tropicana…just in time for a major kerfuffle as the team has been sold and they’re negotiating a new site with the city of Tampa (very near the Yankees’ facility) and things are getting testy at best.
So…a lot of words to say that I haven’t been to a Rays game in a hot minute.
