tomdayfan Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Esquire Magazine ranks all the stadiums....and they say the food at the Ralph is as bad as the football. Rating the Ralph's food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 The food at the Ralph is absolutely terrible. And a beer costs about $10. Plus you get to spend a fair amount of money to watch a horrible product with a mob of angry, stupid drunks. And yet the NFL is spending millions trying to figure out why folks would rather watch at home on their couches. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet the NFL is spending millions trying to figure out why folks would rather watch at home on their couches. Unreal. Â First off, beer is $8. And Ralph is pretty cheap compared to the rest of the NFL in terms of tickets food etc. Â People are staying home bc of the recession and ticket prices at other stadiums are pretty high, esp when you factor in PSL. They arent staying home in droves bc some guy in the row behind them is too drunk. cmon man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandemonium Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Who cares about the stadium food? If you go to a football game and feel compelled to by the crappy overpriced stadium food, something's wrong with your tailgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Funny, I truly can never remember getting anything to eat the stadium. Maybe a bag of peanuts. Â Remember the jumbo 36 oz beers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They arent staying home in droves bc some guy in the row behind them is too drunk. cmon man  I guess you don't tip.  And you're not right about that - the cost and atmosphere involved with going to the stadium are definitely key factors. That is why the NFL is making such a fuss about fixing the "fan experience" this season, adding the Red Zone Channel to the stadiums, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know plenty of 25+ year season ticket holders who did not renew this year and while the atmosphere at the game is not the only reason, it was a big part of their decision. Way too many inconsiderate sloppy drunks at the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL is making a half hearted effort at the family experience. The game isnt for kittys, thats why commericals during the game are trucks and chicks, not spongebob squarepants. Â I saw nothing different about the home opener aside from more sheriffs driving around doing nothing. plenty in my lot were doing the saem as always. Â During an economic recession fans arent spending to come to games...shocking. But some are blaming the experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 During an economic recession fans arent spending to come to games...shocking. But some are blaming the experience? It's not just one thing, it's a mix of everything. Sloppy drunken !@#$s, economy, price, product on the field, it all factors in. But personally I think the overriding factor is product on the field, at least in Buffalo. You could keep everything else the same as it is now except field a team that has a chance of going deep into the playoffs and I guarantee you tickets to games would be in high demand and there would be no question of any home games selling out.

Way too many inconsiderate sloppy drunks at the game. Â I let my seasons go 2 years ago...part of the reason was crappy football the other part was there were way too many sloppy drunks around. On both sides of my seats other long-time season ticket holders let theirs go as well mostly becuase of the sloppy drunks. For some reason I don't recall as many sloppy inconsiderate drunks in the 90s...I guess winning football teams have a way of keeping the crap out of the stadium....

Smiley Dear Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Oh we were there. You just didn't mind so much when you were 20 years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 That article is all over the place. Complain about the quality of the food, or how much it costs, or that there isn't enough...blah blah. Â The Washington Redskins comment is where I stopped giving the standard 2% seriousness I give to articles such as this. The female writer is complaining it has Hooters. Is it because Hooters has bad food? Or is that she's opposed to the restaurant concept, irrelevant of the food quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Esquire? Â The last time I picked up an Esquire, it had an article telling single guys what hip books to strategically place around your apartment so girls would think you're deep. Not which books to READ, just which ones to buy and how & where to sort of casually leave askew on your end table. Like, "oh, how nice of you to drop in--I was just perusing some Sartre and taking notes on existentialism. Now let's go get sushi and check out some reggae!" And the rest of the magazine was ads for garish overpriced watches. Â They don't get to talk to me about stadium food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaPolian8693 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 If you are buying food inside the stadium instead of eating in the lot, you are definitely doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I have to agree, even in the clubs, with it's "exclusive, upscale concessions" (their words, not mine), the food is still tasteless, there's just more choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR8PRKN Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 My tailgate is great... So I dont really care what food they serve, I just get the beer, I only wish I could get one at the end of the 3rd quarter to make me feel a little better when we fall apart in the 4th....
