Food prices at Camden Yards

[DirtyBird]

The concessions at the stadium are mostly terrible. Everything just sitting out under heat lamps for hours. Pretty pathetic.

Stadium food almost always sucks. And that's before you see the prices.

Sorry, had to dig this thread up since we tried the 'BBQ' last night.

$40 later, I'll pass (even at $10 it's a pass). There are way better choices and it seems everyone knows from such a short line at Boogs.

Honestly, I think a Big Boogs is worth the price.  I compare stadium food to what I would get at a restaurant, and at a high-end smokehouse, I’d spend close to $20 for a BBQ sandwich.  Granted……for that same price at home with my meat slicer, I can probably get enough to last me a months worth of work lunches, but again, I rate stadium prices different.  

I’m hesitant to suggest this, but Deddle’s Doughnuts behind 78/80 is worth the price.  $10 for the small box, $18 for the large, and you can get the doughnuts with a choice of glaze, topping and sauce.  For a gourmet doughnut, I’d put them up with anyone.  

The new chicken place at the city Eutaw Street entrance is pretty good this year too and worth the price.  I do want to try the smash burger and the pupusaria soon

****Forgive me on the prices, I do get the STH discount so I might be quoting my prices.

I just think the Boogs sandwiches are bad. I used to enjoy them so I’m not sure if I’ve started going to better pit beef places or if they’ve gotten worse. 
That said, I typically judge a BBQ place by the quality of their sides, Boog’s beans are an insult to baked beans, especially at that price.

I went to a Washington Capitals game last week and they were charging $25 for a cheeseburger.  And not a particularly big cheeseburger.  

There's a Twitter/Instagram channel/feed called FootieScran, I don't know if I'm mentioned it before. It encourages people to post photos of food from soccer matches around the world along with prices, and you vote if it's "scran" or not. Scran being some kind of English slang for good food.

Whenever something from the US is posted 99% of the time the comments are like "yea, that looks good, but why does it cost more than my house?"

It really looks like that if you go to a match in Europe, South America, Asia you can expect to pay 20-50% of the cost of US stadium food. Most places outside of US/Canada you can get something like a sausage and a beer for $5-10. At Borussia Dortmund you can get 5-6 beers (German bier!) for the cost of a single beer at most US stadiums.

I'm going to see DC United on Saturday and fully expect to pay well over $100 for food for my family of four.

I think the quality has gone down since they started pre cooking it in the warehouse and carting it down.  And of course the charm of the smoke cloud wafting over Eutaw St is gone too.

Anyone try a foot long hot dog for $22? The Warehouse Dog.

Just a heads up Rasa as well as Swizzler (one of the best burgers I’ve ever had) by nats park/navy yard metro are very  good fast casual dinner options.

Regarding what Frobby was saying about the Chinatown arena, Leonsis really has no shame. His food quality and prices are about as bad as his pro basketball team. I don’t go to many Georgetown games now but if I do I just hit up one of the noodle/dumpling spots prior to tip-off.

In regards to the general topic, I’ve stopped buying food and beer at nearly any sporting event I go to as the prices are outrageous especially at the walgreen where it’s $24 for craft beer.

Some parks still offer cheap food and beer like the Braves and when I was at Mariners game few weeks ago, beers were $4,5,6 all game.

I do want to try the donuts. Just saw them on the stadium app the next day.

Definitely try to do it early.  They got a huge line on Friday and it never really went down.  You had to commit to standing in it.  They do have a capacity constraint

It's been several years since I actually felt like my Boogs was really good. The quality has certainly gone downhill.

Our attendance would go up if they started lowering concession prices and bleacher seats. Let fans spend 20-30$ to get a ticket, beer and hot dog. 

[drjohnnyfever1]

The lines at the concession makes the price of what they're serving moot to me.  Plus, I'll take my chances with a $2 dog on the outside before I pay $6-10 in the inside.  That's simply appalling.

Jack Daniels and Jameson are the only whiskeys available on the lower level concourse. 

I need a better whiskey selection, to improve most post game message boarding.
