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!

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.

Hot dogs.

[CleIndians48]

Ahhhh yes, gotta be the Fenway Frank!

[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.

A hot dog at Notre Dame Stadium!

[POLO GROUNDS 1957]

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. 34-20

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.

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.

The Italian Beef and Brats are awesome too.

[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

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

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.

[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.
