What's your official position on Girl Scout Cookies?

Recently my brother and two buddies from WNY (Williamsville and Webster) had a blind hot dog tasting featuring Sahlens, Weigles white hots, and representing the Bay Area of California, Caspers.

 

Both Sahlens and Caspers have that snap at first bite and are more seasoned than the Weigles which is pretty mild.

 

My brother made pork and beans using salt pork and my buddy from Webster made homemade onion rings.

 

Not the healthiest meal but quite good vittles for a backyard gathering in the fall.

The overall experience in Atlanta was expensive, but I am not surprised that they are the cheapest hot dog.  They have cheap concessions available, including free refills on sodas.  (aka "pop" for you old school types)

[ddaryl]

this is why you tailgate. 

[PromoTheRobot]

That $11.25 dog is probably one of the new "gourmet" offerings. A normal hot dog is like $6. Whoever made that chart screwed up.

So was the hot dog. Worst P.O.S. hot dog I ever had. You get what you pay for.

And those are terrible hot dogs.

I know fatties who eat a whole box at a time.  They're excellent cookies.  But I don't buy them because I don't want them around.  And they remind me of the fatties.

Yeah, tailgating is the thing in B’lo - eat before the game and hit some snacks outside afterwards. There is no need to pay those kind of insane prices.

I paid $19.95 for a pastrami hot dog at Carnegie Deli in NYC a few days ago. But that was a damn big hot dog. $11.25 seems comparable.

This.

 

Plus you miss plays when you go to get the food.  "There's TVs at the concession stands."  I can watch the game on TV at home.

I binge. A whole box of Girl Scout cookies is nothing, they’re small.

I feel like this came up a few months ago on TBD and someone pointed out that the 11$ hotdog is actually a loaded foot long so it seems like this list is a little suspect.

Yes, this is it. A hot dog at the Panthers stadium with just catch up and chili was 450. The Bills stadium last year I remember I saw it for five something.

Plus a hotdog is super salty, give them the dog so they buy more drinks. 
 

I know with hotels people complain about room service prices but hotel restaurants are typically running at little to negative margins. Not sure if that’s the case with stadium food. Obviously the beverages are where the real margin is. Plus they can justify high alcohol prices as a barrier to overconsumption. 

I think beers are also cheap at MB Stadium. They want people in the building not the parking lots.

 

Hotels view food and beverage as a necessary evil.

Many times in new stadiums tailgating is discouraged or prohibited all together. Or they will greatly limit the tailgating area.

 

One reason is they don't want drunk fans coming into the

new stadium starting fights.

 

Another reason is the NFL wants a wholesome experience so a family of 4 can enjoy the game without running into drunks who are starting fights or cussing in front of children 

 

Of course another reason is fans are forced to buy expensive concessions
