Goin' to the ballpark - buy food there or bring my own hoagie?

[Patiod]

Hoagies are delicious, but can be sloppy (especially the good ones).

1. Considering ballpark prices, bring your own

My daughter and I stop at Subway before we go to a game. Bring our own peanuts too.

2. Bring your own, use the money you save to buy the whole damn team.

3. That's a lot oh hot dogs!

5. Hell, use the savings to buy Cuba.

4. Here in St. Petersburg (at the Tropicana Dome) They search......

...People as they're going into the park and they have these dudes that watch the crowd with binoculars (Really!) to make sure that you don't eat anything that's not bought inside the dome. If you are caught..Out you go..
It's ridiculous ...as are their prices:
$4.50 for a hotdog
$4.00 for a small drink
$8.00 for a draft beer (yes..8 bucks..Fuck!)

I've quit going to the damn place...screw them...

7. at my ballpark you are not allowed to bring anything in

"security" don't you know?

(Yeah, the security of their concession revenues.)

8. If you can get away with it, bring your own.

Ballpark ushers are like prison guards.

9. They tried that at our new football stadium - DISASTER

you do not tell a Philadelphian that he can't bring a cheesesteak or hoagie from his own personal favorite hoagie shop to the game.

I'm not kidding, it practically caused riots.

Changed the rules, and then knew better than to even try when they built the new baseball stadium.

10. Go to a minor league game

Single or double A- generally prices are lower, and you can bring some stuff in (no bottles)

I think this is just a guide, usually one spends a whole lot more.
