Yeah, I am a dedicated fan! One of my rituals is to visit a Costco before a game. I found a Costco that that was near a light rail station and even takes me to Chase Field. Onwards to Costco at the Phoenix Christown Spectrum Mall.\n\nThis review is only for the food court since I did not go inside. Like many other Yelpers' surprise, this Costco is connected to a mall. I've been to Vancouver's Costco and that location is right across the Canucks and connected to a highway. I guess this location almost took the top ranks of Costco location surprises :)\n\nParking is very plentiful, but the most crowded spots are near the entrance. So, I parked far, but still someone parked next to me. I still don't understand that. I guess my truck brings some sort of safety or security. I took the mall side entrance and you are automatically at the food court. The Costco food court is in the mall. When I walked in, I thought right away. Costco killed the other food court competitions.\n\nI usually get a Hot Dog and a drink, but this time I was VERY HUNGRY! So, this was my first time I got the Turkey Provolone Sandwich ($3.99) and a drink ($0.59). The sandwich was hot and delicious! I got a lot of stares from the customers....Oh wait, it wasn't because what I ordered, it was because of the Dodger Gear I was wearing :P\n\nThis review is partial since I did not go inside the Costco store. I wish I did and got some freebies. We all partake in the freebies. I should've walked in and see if they were giving free samples of ice cream, but you know my situation (Read past Costco visits). I wonder what other Costco locations that would be surprising to me. I'll have to re-watch the YouTube videos and see the international versions of Costco.\n\nYelp!
