Best Ballpark Food

[stunlee]

Brats and beer at Miller Park

[BaseballNut8]

The Cuban Panini at Jacobs Field is good.

The Pamani(sp) Bros sandwitch at PNC is good.

Nothing special at either Chicago parks.

I am partial to Skyline Cheese Coneys and Chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick at Great American ballpark.

Spelled Primanti's. You actually liked it? I think they're crap. I live in Philly, my inlaws live in Pittsburgh (in fact, I am there now).

At Citizens Bank Park they have Bull's BBQ (after Luzinski). Well they have a turkey leg meal that outstanding. It's a HUGE turkey legs with cole slaw and baked beans for like $8. That's pretty cheap for ballpark food.

Best ballpark food ever though? The hoagie and bag of peanuts I brought in with me!

[BeatEmBucs]

There isn't anything wrong with the Primanti's sandwich at the ballpark. I guess the idea of all the side dishes ON the sandwich is a foreign concept on that side of the state. Don't get me wrong I love Philly cheesesteaks, but haven't been to Citizens Bank park yet. I remember when I went to the Vet there was a great cheesesteak place right off Broad st. I think it was right under the Whitman Bridge underpass, anyway it was within walking distance of the Vet and it was great! Is it still around? Anyhow outside of Pittsburgh my favorite ballpark food is Boog's BBQ at Camden Yards, I also like the crabcakes there as well. I'll definitely be looking to expand my culinary horizons thru the years and get to see more parks.

I don't mind the side dishes on Primanti's sandwich's, it's the meat I don't like. They tend to use the cheapest stuff they can find. I don't know. I like the coleslaw, cheese, egg and fries on the sandwich. It's not my cup of tea. I am in Pittsburgh right now (visiting the inlaws) and since I have nothing to do, maybe I'll ride down to the Southside now for one. Give em a second shot.

Back before 9/11 the food I liked the best at the ballpark was the food that my wife and I could take ourselves without being scalped at the concessions stand. Because of the limit on the size of packs brought into the ballpark we're pretty much forced to purchase food at the ballpark.

The food that smells the best are the garlic fries, but they're so greasy they upset my stomach. I love BBQ, and Greg Luzinski's turkey legs sound pretty good, but it's a bit messy to be eating at the ballpark. (I ate a BBQ turkey leg at the state fair last summer. Yummy!)

My wife and I usually get a specialty sausage (they have several types) at the Coliseum. They're pretty good, and with a little skill you can eat them without wearing them. ;)

Does anyone else remember when wine coolers were all the rage? It was so strange sitting in the bleachers having the vendors serve wine coolers instead of beer.

[Seattle1]

Hot dogs. :cool:

[CleIndians48]

Ahhhh yes, gotta be the Fenway Frank! :clapping

[Jake83]

Wine is served at Dodger Staduim and AT&T Park(Maybe others)

[Red Sox Rule]

I've only been to one ball park, Fenway, but the food i got there was good. Cheesesteak and some peanuts and popcorn thing which i can't remember the name of.

Fenway is also the place i found out how strict Americans are on under age drinking...even if a parent consents to it.

[ivylover]

A hot dog at Notre Dame Stadium!:D

[POLO GROUNDS 1957]

There was nothing like a hot dog and a cold strohs beer at tiger stadium in detroit. and the popcorn was good also.

[redbuck]

A hot dog at Notre Dame Stadium!:D

Hot dogs at Notre Dame can't compete with dogs grilled on a handmade grill of aluminum foil and paper cans outside Ohio Stadium. Pretend it's wolverine meat and it tastes even better. :D 34-20

[Alibi Ike]

Did hot dog vendors at Tiger Stadium still use a stick to slather mustard on the dogs near the very end?

I am usually too stuffed from tailgating to eat inside. :D

We brought 2 pounds of pork roll to the Tennessee game last year and totally blew the minds of people around us.

I like Italian Beef sandwiches at US Cellular..

Those Primanti's sandwiches are good... They are huge! The Steak and Lube wings at PNC are great as well!

I like the good ol' footlong at the Jake with that stadium mustard:)

I like the Italian Sausages at Yankee stadium...

The BBQ at Camden is yummy...

I was not impressed with the Philly Cheesesteak in Philly:(

What flavor of wings you get? I think you get get one of 8 flavors at the ballpark (and 20 at the actual restaurants spread out thru Pittsburgh) My personal favorite is the "Louisiana Lickers"

As for philly cheesesteaks, haven't been to Citizens yet, but the ones at the Vet weren't that good either. The best cheesesteaks are not in the ballpark. I usually ate before games before going to the Vet.

[Chisox73]

The quality of the pizza at US Cellular Field has improved tenfold since they started selling Connie's Pizza there a couple of years ago.:D

The Italian Beef and Brats are awesome too.:clapping

[Chi Sox 1]

i like the cell's hot dogs and pizza

[Mr. Boh]

Boog's Bar B Que at Oriole Park at Camden Yards isn't bad. As an added bonus John Wesley Powell will sign autographs as you move through the line.

[Red Sox Rule]

I remember getting a big slice of pizza from fenway which wasn't bad and my dad said the clam chowder was good. Lemonade quite good too.

I've tried the Louisiana Lickers and thought they were good.. My favorite is the Arizona Ranch... I also really like the Buckeye BBQ ones:clapping

My parents live near Charlotte, NC so I hit up the one there when I go.. I always come home with a 4 pack of the Arizona Ranch:)

[MetsFan11368]

I love the hot dogs at Shea. Over at Yankee Stadium, my favorite food is the humongous pretzels with a ton of mustard on them. :clapping

[Richmond Hill Phoenix]

I always grab a hot dog outside Skydome. Street meat for 3 bucks, and bring in a bag of peanuts. Then get an ice cream cone at the 7th innning stretch. It always goes down smooth.

[romanos72]

My favs:

1. Fenway: ItalianSausage and Cuban sandwiches on Yawnkey Way--it doesn't get any better
2. Miller park (Brats with stadium sauce+ beer).
3. US Cellular Field (Cubs fan, but love the variety of vittles at Sox park)
4. Citizens Bank Park (Philly Steaks there are worth the drive from the Windy City)

[sfgiants29]

If any of you ever get the oppurtunity to experience the beauty of (insert name of current phone company) park in San Francisco, you need to try the garlic fries.

[nnarum23]

Dome dogs are good.

[malt-tones]

YUP, 'cept when that damn pole is in the way;)

[rwolfe09]

Hot dogs at The Jake are good.

[pesky6]

I've been to several ballparks and nothing beats a Fenway Frank with Gulden's (sp?) Spicy Brown Mustard. Simple and good.

Now that I live in Denver, I've found a little-known secret at Coors Field. In the left field corner there's a place called Buckaroos. Techically it's a kids place, but it's easy to get away with (just be discreet so you don't ruin it for future folks :D ). You can get a cheeseburger, fries, and drink for under $6 total. Sure, the drink and fry portion is small, and there are bigger burgers in the park, but for $6, how can you go wrong?

Some people may look down on this practice, but given the price of ballpark food, it's the only way I can eat there without packing my own food each time.

Try the Rocky Mountain Oysters :D

Agreed....
Boog's BBQ at Camden is quite good

I do always enjoy a sausage & pepper sandwich at Yankee Stadium, It's not the greatest sandwich or the greatest sausage. But it always tastes real good to me, must be the atmosphere makes it better.:)

I agree that atmosphere has a lot to do with it. For example, when I go hiking, a sandwich on a summit tastes much better than if I'm eating it at the kitchen table. :D

My cheapskate move like that is just go a guest services booth at the Roger Centre and say I'm my friend's designated driver and get a free coke. It's not that evil of a move seeing as I'm not drinking at the game anyway.

[Whitesoxnut]

A Comiskey park Polish sausage with a lot of onions. Or if you want to say it like a Chicagoan, "I want a sawww with mustard, heavy onion". Their idea was to re-create the old Maxwell street hotdog stand that many of us Sox fans used to go to after the games "years ago" and the Polishes many of the fans grew up eating.

I quit drinking years ago but I still remember the taste of a good polish and a cold beer at the ballgame. I remember at Wrigley years ago the vendors used to fill your cup with a beer called "Old Style" thats from Wisconsin. They used to walk around with their serving bins filled with ice cold long necked bottles we used to call "goose necks". I swear, Old Style used to plain taste like mothers milk when it came out of the goose necks and there was never a better beer served then at Wrigley when it came out of those bottles.

My Dad used to love the two ballparks. He took me there often and it was the one place where he would be like a kid back then. Also "back then" in blue collar Chicago fathers used to take their sons to the neighborhood tavern with them. So that was usually our stop after a day game. The tavern where we "sons" would drink orange pops and play pinball while our dads drank and caught a night game on TV.

[MantleFan911]

dodger dog. only had it once, but it was good (a little expensive, but very good)

[CandlestickBum]

Nobody ever mentions what they serve at PetCo park.

Would that make anyone else here nervous to eat there? ;)

On the topic of ballpark food...

Hot dogs at The Jake are good.

They're not as good as the hot dogs were at Cleveland Stadium becaue they switched vendors. Hot dogs are about the only things that were better at Municipal Stadium than at Jacobs Field.

Those were good too, but I not enough to want to keep seeing games there, in my opinion.

[RuthMayBond]

Those were good too, but I not enough to want to keep seeing games there, in my opinion.I actually had a neighbor who got mad in '94 when the Tribe started winning. He couldn't get a close seat the day of the game. I asked him, you could do that for almost 40 years, haven't we had enough of losing? (and this guy played in the minors :eek:

I knew more than a few people with the same attitude. I remember right before the 1995 World Series, when tickets were impossible to find, my aunt's mother told me that the post-season games should have been played at Municipal so that more people could get in. She was surprised that so few people agreed. I remember thinking 'that's because it's a really stupid idea.'

[Erik Bedard]

Milwaukee Brats all the way. And cheese fries (can't find them in Baltimore, maybe it's just a Milwaukee thing?) and nachos.

[Tribe&CubsFan]

Monster Dogs at Fenway and Garlic Fries at Pac Bell

[Solair Wright]

I love the hot dog and nachos at New Busch Stadium. It's nothing out of the ordinary, but it does taste good. Another good eataway is the slice of pizza at Shea Stadium. New York style pizza, and they have other food that some may enjoy too.

I haven't tried anything at Yankee Stadium, but I really want to before 2009. Which other stadiums have good food that I should eat one day, once I go there?

The first brat I ever had was at County Stadium in Milwaukee. I've since been to Miller Park, and for the life of me can't figure out why they tore down County Stadium. I thought it was a much better place to see a game. Oh well, that's for another thread, I guess. :)

[big_papi]

I like ice cream at O's games

Yeah I used to like the Brats at County stadium. A great day years ago was spending the day at the State Fair eating brats/corn/drinking beer and then taking a night game at County. Again eating Brats and drinking beer. I had a lot of good times at the Old County Stadium.

[Twinfan90]

I like the Dome Dogs at the Metrodome

[drtybUsch025]

I like the Big Kahunas at the Cards game. They only usually come around 2 or so with em, and boom, there gone.

[icee82]

They have some great dogs in Cincinnati!
