Shea Stadium - Worst Food in a Baseball Stadium

[Benjamin Grimm]

Greg Luzinski's place has a nice selection of barbecue.

Next time I go to Shea I think we'll pack our lunches. (The kids will be disappointed, but it's not their 40 bucks.)

The Mets will still get my money for soda and ice cream, I'm sure.

I never really get the whole hullabaloo over ballpark concessions. A baseball game is 3 hours, 4 hours top. Can't people eat a nutritious meal before the game or hold out until after the game? I rarely get anything from the concession stands since I don't want to miss the game and since I ate before the game so I'm not hungry. I shouldn't throw stones since I'm rather chubby but since so many people can't make it 3 hours without stuffing their faces may help explain why we're a nation of fat asses.

I travel roughly two hours each way to get to and from Shea. Throw three or four hours in the middle of that, and it's a pretty long time to go without a meal.

Especially for a day game, when you get there it's lunch time.

If you live nearby, it's easy enough to get to a night game after an early dinner, but otherwise, you do get hungry while at the park.

Not to sound silly here but when I go to a game getting ballpark food is part of the experience , but missing an inning or more waiting inline blows.

We typically get to the park, get something to eat, and then settle into our seats. Last time, we sat down just before the National Anthem was about to start. Perfect timing, except that I had to balance a half-eaten slice of pizza while I held my cap over my heart.

If you were at yankee stadium security would have taken the food from you and locked you into your area with chains.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That's also part of the experience, I guess.
