All-you-can-eat seat, heartburn included

By JOHN MARSHALL, AP Sports Writer1 hour, 22 minutes ago

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks. And some more. And more.
A growing trend in all-you-can-eat seating at sports venues is making baseball's summer chorus sound more like "Take Me Out to the Buffet."
Dozens of arenas, stadiums and tracks have offered tickets that come with unlimited snacks. The seats have been a hit with fans, a moneymaker for the venues and a worry for obesity-conscious health officials.
Instead of paying for a ticket and multiple trips to the concession stand, the ticket includes everything and costs about 50 percent more. Alcohol and desserts are sold separately.
"I don't think you're ever going to get your value from it food-wise, but convenience-wise, I think it is a heck of a lot nicer than waiting in line for 20 minutes," said Drew Nurenberg, 30, of Malvern, Pa., who bought all-you-can-eat seats with his wife for a Philadelphia Flyers game last month.

I hope it's better food than you can normally buy at a concession stand.

I missed out on the Rangers games last year when they tried this idea. This summer, I am taking my brother-in-law and nephew to a Rangers vs. Astros game, and we bought all-you-can-eat seats. It did cost an extra $8 per ticket, but considering that a bag of peanuts is $4.00 and a soft drink about the same, it can be a very good bargain if you take advantage of it. (And I'm not afraid to take advantage of it!! )

Try to remember this thread and give us a report once you try it out, if you would please.

The stadiums around here have very good food, but expensive! Sounds like a great deal...I'd go for it.

Why do hot dogs always taste better at a baseball game?

I don't know what it is either...I love watching a baseball game and munching!
