Food at the Bats game

[Robin Garr]

I was VERY disappointed to learn that the as-yet-unnamed downtown arena has already chosen Centerplate as their vendor. Why? Why spend all that money on what looks like will be a first class venue and then have Centerplate ruin it with their crappy food? I just don't get it.

Moneymoneymoney. It betrays a commitment by the arena people, as with the Bats, to place maximum profit ahead of fan enjoyment.

For what it's worth, one of the big NYC venues - new Yankee Stadium or Mets Stadium, I believe, dropped Centerplate as their vendor for this season.

Well I guess I will have to try the pork chop sandwich next time. I do love the ones at the Pork Producers stand at the fairgrounds so if they are better then that should be a good choice for me. Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm not sure if they're better, Karen. They're variable, sometimes dry and leathery, sometimes juicy and delicious. Sometimes hot, sometimes room temperature. Served on a cheap bun. But it's always a very large, boneless pork chop, and that's not a bad thing.

It was in the news, Todd, and mentioned negatively in the forum, when the arena design was unveiled in 2007.
