| - Sooo... the stadium itself is fabulous. Very clean, very nice, very new looking... quite massive. And impressive look compared to the A's spring training stadium. Yup. Lots of seats under the shade, grassy area for the outer field seating, smaller upper deck that's also covered for shady pleasure.
HOWEVER, for such a looker of a stadium, the food here sucks! I was so disappointed. Everyone goes to baseball games for the FOOD.
On the menu for me:
1. I started off with a pulled pork/pulled chicken (I can't remember) bbq sandwich. Just a bun with some bbq pulled meat in it. It was.... okay...
2. I think next I got some french fries at the Double Play Diner near the carousel. Man, what a rip off. How do you screw up french fries?? My goodness. And at this double play diner stand, it was so confusing to me. You order/pick up the food that's already just kind of laying out there on the counter/back from this dude who hands you the food then you sort of wrap yourself back to two ladies who are cashiering. I was confused, like I said, and one of the ladies at the check-out was something along the lines of, "Can I help you???".... ugh.... Yeah you can, you can get some better french fries...
3. So after terrible fries, I got a hot dog. Just a regular dog. So disappointed after going to a few condiment stands that there was no available ketchup or relish. Just mustard at one of them. I didn't feel like walking around to the other side of the park to find it, so I just let it be. Mustard's good anyway...
4. Topped it off with some ice cream. Strawberry scooped in a waffle cone. Not bad. The worker was friendly, asking where I was from yaddadaa. Cool.
I also don't really recall anyone walking around to sell food with the exception of one or two senior citizens who walk around selling beer to everyone. They are seriously too old to be doing that. I understand that the park is primarily run by volunteers who happen to be on the older side of the spectrum, but they couldn't assign it to someone younger?? My goodness. And beer!!!?? SO HEAVY. It looked like a hazard. Sure, maybe he wanted to sell it, but still... c'mon...
So basically, the food needs to get better.
