Who else would fork out their right eyeball for a ballpark hotdog right now? Or a beer in a plastic mug bigger than your skull? Goddammit, all we want is to be drunk and rowdy enough again to eat nachos in front of strangers. Hell, we’re so desperate to get back to a stadium that we’d happily gobble up the eldritch abomination in the below post.
“What’s the worst food you have had at a football match?” asks Twitter user @elliotwhu, whose simple query has given way to a string of replies that only the most iron-gutted could withstand. How far can you make it? Most, we imagine, will stop at the kebab that appears to have a literal piece of shit on it—we won’t be posting because we literally can’t tell—but soldier on and you’ll see some meals so disgusting you can’t help but be impressed.
You know, like this gruel-ass, hairball-ass “crab pretzel.”
Or this lonely Lit’l Smokie in the world’s driest bun.
Or this maggot pizza.
Just truly revolting shit. Good god, do we miss it. We’d pay $20 bucks for this droopy-ass hot dog in a hamburger bun about now.

Noticing a theme that sports events in Europe and more so soccer games just have shitty food.
Srsly, stadium food for football and baseball is some pretty impressive shit these days.
This is true, but largely because eating at a European football game is a recent development. There may well always have been food there, but nobody was stupid enough to eat it. Whereas in the US, eating is arguably a more important element of the occasion than the sport.
A soccer match is a 2h affair. Y’all sports last like a day. The food at soccer matches is for exceptionnally low standard people that eat 10 times a day or didn’t just eat before the game, or plan something for after.
It’s not part of the tradition as much as it is for you guys. 90+% of the people in the stadium won’t be getting food there.
The food quality isn’t the problem for me. The prices are the real deterrence. Im not paying $20 for fries and a hot dog or $10 for a watered down budweiser.
Where are you finding such good stadium beer prices, friend? $10 for a cup of suds sounds like a bargin
I think the last time I went to a baseball game was about 15 years ago. Have been to a bunch of concerts at stadiums since then, but I dont purchase any food or beverages there. I would not be surprised if a 10$ beer is a “good deal” now.
I have no problem going 4 hours without eating or drinking, and I have a big problem with overpaying for stuff.
Warm suds, with floaties that shall not be identified.The kind of cheap beer you have to chew to swallow.
It’s a rule of mine to eat before and/or after the event. At most, maybe I’ll grab a quick snack or a beer. But anything more is usually an overpriced disappointment.
Worst food: the cheese on the nachos at LSU games back in the ‘90s. Best I could figure is they left the cheese in the warmers all season, because the nachos were always really good for the first game or two.Worst drink: coffee at Rosenblatt Stadium. Late June 2000 at the CWS, and the typical 1-2 days of crappy weather rolled through. I got coffee to stay warm, and it was so weak I could almost see the bottom of the 20 oz. cup.
