Sport with best concessions?

[shadow]

I was at a pro sports game recently and was stunned at how much better their concessions offerings were than anything I have seen at college sports. I wanted to see what others thought.

Per game or per season? Huge question. Baseball has approx 90 home games. Football has around 9. Basketball in the 40's. So I will say baseball over the course of a year.

Do they change much during a season for MLB? College games that I go to are typically just normal stadium food like hotdogs, popcorn, etc. I have not been to a MLB game in like a decade, but I don’t remember being able to get things as varied as egg rolls, fried plantains, brisket, multiple kinds of ice cream, etc.

Going to greatly depend on the stadium. They all try to have some sort of regional favorites in addition to the classic stadium staples.

I have not gone to a golf event as an adult. What are foods that they have at those? What is a good event to go to?

Yeah MLB stadium have upgraded a lot of their foods. They still have the old favorites but have added some upscale stuff. Still very pricey though.

It's not just MLB but baseball in general. My co-worker and I were just talking a few days ago about the nostalgia around little league concessions stands. I can't think of another sport where food holds a prominence.

No idea. At pro football/baseball games I get a beer and peanuts. I've been to one NBA and one NHL game and only had a couple of beers.

Beer and peanuts just seem to taste better at baseball games though for some reason.

Is the Masters known for great concessions at cheap prices?

Chicago Dog at wrigley, doesn't get better than that

Golf events are generally good and have fast lines.

Correct, if you have $20, you can get A LOT

I'll say this much, if I was a decision maker in the athletics department I would make concessions at football and men's basketball an initiative. I know there are some facilities related limitations, but anything they can to improve quality/variety, price, and service time would go a long way to continue to see high attendance. There is perhaps some opportunity for increased revenue, but improved fan experience would be my aim.

What I have noticed... with Pro stadiums, the newer the stadium, the more variety of food is offered. Not exactly cheap, though.

Cheap? Yes.

Great? Maybe, maybe not.

Newer venue = more/bigger kitchens on-site.
