I never understood eating in the stadium, isn't that what tailgating is for? They don't even serve anything interesting like baseball stadiums tend to do.

Never mind the awful, over-priced 'food', the people who prepare it are all about 18 years old. No thanks, I'll bring in my Snickers bar.

Not sure the relevance. I never said they didn't have the same problems. All I said is that ball parks tend to have more interesting stuff. For example Citizens bank has Philly Cheese steaks... Beaver Stadium has hot dogs.

What makes me marvel is how any of this could be a surprise to anyone. God bless the health dept. folk who do the inspections, but that is about like a truth commission at a fishing shack.

Don’t be such a baby and eat your mouse droppings.

Anyone ever buy a soft pretzel from the guy at the end of the Platt Bridge or on Passyunk Ave.??

I just figure the high alcohol content of my stomach takes care of any bad stuff I happen to eat.

It is good and very responsible to have a proactive, preventative plan in place. You also might want to think about carrying disposable tongs with you.

Most of the venues have less average violations than the surrounding area which make me think I'd rather eat in the venue. No?
