ESPN has gone through food-safety inspection reports from last year for every venue in Major League Baseball, the NBA, NHL and NFL and unearthed some stomach-turning findings.
Among the more startling reports:
• Green Bay Packers' Lambeau Field: Two locations were cited after an employee "did not wash hands after blowing nose or eating food prior to handling customer food or ice."
• Phoenix Suns' US Airways Center: Dozens of flies and a live roach in a dish room.
• Denver Broncos' Mile High Stadium: Fruit flies in whiskey bottles at three bars.
• Miami Dolphins' Sun Life Stadium: Employee reported small insects and other debris blended into frozen alcoholic drinks.
• Indianapolis Colts' Lucas Oil Stadium: TV report revealed mouse droppings and mice -- dead and alive -- around the stadium.

YUM!!!
bttt
“Denver Broncos’ Mile High Stadium: Fruit flies in whiskey bottles at three bars.”
‘Fruit flies’ - I did not know they had three gay bars in the stadium.
;-)
I attended the final exibition game this spring at the new Target Field, here in Minneapolis against the Cards. The only things colder than the early April weather were the hot dogs.....
I am so shocked. (rolls eyes)
Charlie Rangel can rob us blind for decades, but the gubmint can bust a kid picking his nose...cripes...gimme a dog and hold the boogers.
“Miami Dolphins’ Sun Life Stadium: Employee reported small insects and other debris blended into frozen alcoholic drinks.”
Isn’t that the protein shake?
Kind of pointless to publish this information without a baseline comparison over how this compares to the restaurant industry (especially similar grade restaurants) as a whole.
Per operating day, do the stadiums have a better record? A worse one? About the same?
Ok. We have the cause, but what about the effect. You think a bunch of drunks are worried about someone eating ice? I know if I go to a game nowadays, the alcohol alone puts me behind 3 days. What’s a little bacteria? /s
Yet the vast majority of stadiums will NOT allow you to bring your own food inside..
This is why I tailgate.
It also explains your tagline.
Slime in the Ice Machine!

I heard that the NFL will announce two new post season contests: The Toilet Bowl and the E Coli Bowl.
Hate to say this but folks who attend these events and willingly allow themselves to be ripped off for food and drink while captive there are probably too freaking stupid to care about any of this.
Then again, perhaps it’s well they do the Bread and Circuses thing and support 7 figure paydays for guys in tights to play with their balls lest they have to concern themselves that America is circling the drain and their kids are headed into slavery.
Looks like it’s taken us just over 240 years to do what it took the Romans 2000 to do: Destroy themselves.
Ahhh...PROGRESS!

Lighten Up, Francis.
Jeez, if it’s a worm in a tequila bottle, it’s a GOOD thing.
Colonel, USAFR
More “union quality” food prep I’m guessing...
But, since these stadiums charge 3 times the real price of a food item, it's ok if they get sick . . . . as long as they buy tickets to see more games!
