Many ballparks have a great breadth of food offerings, checking all of the boxes with BBQ, Asian, seafood, Italian, subs, and Mexican. But sometimes you get the sense that those ballparks just want to say they offer all of these food options, but only provide a few concession items in each category.
Fries are a classic stadium staple for a reason, as they’re easy to eat in between all the cheering and standing up and down that tends to happen at games. Now, it’s up to you to make a delicious version of these spuds yourself!
Here are the stadium foods we’re missing the most right now—and we’re sure you are, too. Oh, the hot dog. Slathering up a hot dog with ketchup, mustard, relish, chili, and all your favorite fixings is simply a stadium classic. Instead, you can fire up the grill and try making your own at home.

Why is a stadium important?
A stadium represents the unofficial home of a sports club and all the grandness that title envelops. The fans in the crowd are a team’s bread and butter, therefore the stadium is a very important part of a teams financial and long term success.
This stadium snack is likely inspired by the “Pizza Log” the official finger food of the Buffalo Sabres, which features pizza ingredients stuffed into a wonton wrapper and deep-fried.
The fifth third burger, named after Fifth Third Ballpark, is home to the West Michigan Whitecaps, an affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. This stadium is particularly notable for the man-challenging burger they created – the Fifth Third Burger. This is no ordinary burger. I’m not even sure this should be called a burger. This is a five-pound, 4,800 calorie burger made with made with five 1 ⁄ 3 -pound (0.15 kg) burger patties and topped with American cheese, nacho cheese sauce, chili, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, salsa, sour cream, and tortilla chips, all stuffed inside an eight-inch sesame seed bun.
The Gateway Grizzlies, a baseball team in Sauget, Illinois, have made their own version of a doughnut burger that has very quickly become a fan favorite. Apparently since its introduction, it’s attracted more fans to the ballpark and has become the most popular item on the menu. Dubbed a cardiologist’s worst nightmare (and with reason), let’s start by saying that this burger has 1,000 calories. It consists of a deep-fried Krispy Creme doughnut (hence the calories) around a black angus all-beef patty, melted cheese, and two strips of bacon. Whether or not you think doughnuts mix with burgers is your own personal opinion, but fans in Illinois seem to have fallen in love with it.
The Lake County Captains, a class A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, have come up with the most ungodly sandwich to bless the earth. It is called the Moby Dick, and features a 15″ sesame seed hoagie roll, five quarter-pound fish filets, eight slices of cheese, six ounces of clam strips, one-third of a pound of French fries and one cup of coleslaw. This is all topped off with an enormous amount of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and tartar sauce. The price of the Moby Dick is $20. Reasonable considering the boatload of ingredients featured in the sandwich.
This is a different take on an iconic Buffalo sandwich. The beef on weck sandwich is quite a popular food in Buffalo, after chicken wings of course. It consists of sliced roast beef, cheddar, caraway seeds and sour cream, all stuffed inside an egg roll wrapper and deep fried. The two-inch rolls are served with Dijon horseradish dipping sauce for lubrication. Wow, this makes watching the Bills worthwhile.
There’s nothing quite like watching sports live. The preparation involved, the excitement, the hype, is all part of the experience of going to your favorite teams stadium and watching a game. A stadiu
Where to eat seafood for a 49ers game?
Santa Clara, California. If you’re going to be in San Francisco for a 49ers game, you should eat some seafood. Levi’s Stadium puts a fish twist on nachos with a version inspired by the Hawaiian raw fish dish poke. Fried wonton chips are covered in diced fresh ahi tuna, avocado, edamame, nori, and sriracha aioli.
Detroit#N#Middle Eastern food is hugely popular in Detroit, thanks to the large Arab population, and the Detroit Tigers and Comerica Park have their own contribution: chicken shawarma nachos. A pile of crispy pita chips is covered in chopped chicken shawarma, hummus, garlic sauce, pickles, and vegetables.
The foot and a half of locally made hot dog is topped with french fries and Southwestern-inspired ingredients of queso blanco, carne asada, pico de gallo, and guacamole.
Sacramento, California. The Sacramento Kings’ arena takes chicken and waffles and doughnut burgers and puts them together in a mashup that sounds even more delicious. Fried spicy chicken breast is placed on a vanilla-glazed brioche doughnut bun, and buttermilk coleslaw and pickles add extra tang. 6 / 43.
At the home of the Tampa Bay Rays, they take a Cuban sandwich — which was likely invented in Tampa — and combine it with a Reuben: The sandwich is pressed like a Cuban, but filled with corned beef, beer-braised sauerkraut, a split hot dog, pickles, and Swiss cheese.
If regular portions aren’t enough, an eating challenge awaits at the home of the Arizona Cardinals. The Gridiron Burger challenge is 7 pounds worth of food on a 10-inch bun, including five burger patties, five hot dogs, five bratwursts, eight chicken tenders, eight slices of bacon, fries, and toppings for $75.
Nashville, Tennessee. The Nashville Predators named one of their crazy food items after their mascot, Gnash. Gnash’s Gnosh is a plate-sized Bavarian pretzel bun filled with smoked pulled pork, brisket chili, beer cheese, scallions, and sour cream.
What is the Carolina Panthers’ favorite food?
Carolina Panthers (Bank of America Stadium) Barbecue pulled pork nachos. As nachos have somehow displaced hot dogs as football’s premier food option (wieners are baseball’s turf, anyway), it only makes sense that Carolina would stack its world-famous pulled pork atop a plate of nachos and hope for the best.
Los Angeles Chargers (StubHub Center) If you haven’t been following the NFL closely (or, you just prefer to pretend that the Chargers don’t exist, like most people in this country), you might have missed that San Diego’s football team now plays in a 30,000 seat MLS stadium in Los Angeles.
Dallas Cowboys (AT&T Stadium) The house that Jerry built spared no expenses, including a “Yes, everything is bigger here” bounty of available food options (hey, someone had to compensate for the lack of playoff success).
Chiefs’ Brisket Stack. When you go to Kansas City, the best place to eat BBQ is (obviously) in the Arrowhead parking lot. If you happen to miss out on that, you can catch a Brisket Stack inside of the stadium, to quell your case of BBQ-FOMO. It’s a double-stacked sandwich with a dose of tangy BBQ sauce — and it’s pretty damn good.
Washington Redskins (FedEx Field) Baltimore is famous for its crabcakes, but in NFL terms, the team with the egregiously outdated name does it better. So if you are looking for a taste of Mid-Atlantic crustacean, head to our nation’s capital. Crabcakes and football is apparently what Washington, D.C. does now.
The prestigious Niners’ new stadium features a hot dog with five delicious components that sync up with its five Superbowl trophies: pork chicharrones, bacon, one juicy hot dog, guac, and a big ol’ pile of French fries. Yes, it’s another hot dog. But really, it’s a five-course meal atop one hot dog. It’s more beautiful than Jimmy G’s radiant smile.
