The classic song line about peanuts and Cracker Jack might bring back favorite sports memories, but today’s stadium food is more than simple snacks. Yelp just revealed the nation’s top stadium for game-day eats. These delicious choices could be found at a favorite restaurant.
Sports fans are drawn to these delicious food menus.
From coast to coast, sports stadiums have elevated their food and beverage offerings. While hospitality partners, like Levy Restaurants, will always serve pretzels, pizza and hot dogs, the specialty food items bring both loyal fans and non-sports enthusiasts to the ballpark.
Recently, Yelp revealed its 50 Top Stadiums for Game-Day Eats. Fans weighed in on their favorite plant-based choices, celebrity chef offerings and all the other delectable dishes that are on the menu.
Yelp reveals the top stadium for game-day eats.
According to the list, the best stadium is Oracle Park in San Francisco, California. Home to the San Francisco Giants, it is more than the picturesque location on the Bay that brings huge crowds to the ballpark.
One of the most popular menu items is Chef David Chang’s Fuku fried chicken. The Korean fried chicken might have started as a secret, off-menu Momofuku dish, but it has become a legend. From the perfectly crispy texture to the well-balanced, bold flavor, people purposely seek this delectable item.
Oracle Stadium highlights San Francisco favorites, as well. Crazy Crabz’s serves Dungeness crab on sourdough. People raved about the combination of sweet crab and tangy bread long before a pop star shared her obsession for sourdough bread making.
Another popular stop is the Gilroy Garlic Fries. The pungent snack pays homage to the annual garlic festival. This stadium food appeals to a wide audience. The more adventurous crowd should attend the food festival that showcases garlic in its more creative forms.
Lastly, the seventh inning stretch is even sweeter with a stop Ghirardelli. The iconic chocolatier serves all types of desserts. These offerings might not be the small sundae served in a mini baseball helmet, but they taste as sweet as everyone remembers.
Oracle Park makes food ordering easy.
With so many delicious food options on the menu, Oracle Park created a way to ensure that fans enjoy every bite without missing any of the sports action. Specifically, Uber Eats offers in-seat delivery to both the Field and Dugout Clubs.
This option is one of many examples that stadiums have begun to use. App ordering continues to be a popular choice. Some locations use Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology.
All of these ordering options are designed to serve guests food and beverages quickly. By reducing wait times, it adds to guest satisfaction. After all, no one likes waiting in long lines.
While Oracle Park is the top ranking stadium for game-day eats, Yelp’s list has 49 other choices for fans to peruse. From the legendary Lambeau Field football stadium to Fenway Park, the oldest MLB stadium, it is time to plan a food and sports road trip from coast to coast.
