I watched this segment on Outside the Lines. It was quite shocking.

You can go here and see where your or any other stadium stacks up:

May want to eat before you go to a game.

Nothing a little whiskey can't defeat.

Yikes. Note to self: Don't eat the food at FL stadiums.

Looks like almost every professional sports team in FL had between 75% and 100% of it's vendors with violations...some pretty serious!

There was only one other stadium in the rest of the country with violations that high.

I saw a list of NFCN stadiums and the % of violations.

Minnesota was a low 8%, not bad.
Chicago was about 11 or 12
GB was 18
Detroit was 70% :O

I'm surprised that the new cowboy stadium had so many violations

Meh im not worried

I'm willing to bet its not limited to stadiums. Go to Denny's wonder how many health violatiosn there are?

Or even some decent restaraunts. The risk you take for eating out.

Hell, i'm sure you home cooking would violate some health regulations.

Do you cook rare beef to 125 instead of the "approved" 140 (actually closer to medium) If so, thats a health code violation.

I used to work in a restaurant. Most people would never eat out again if they saw how a restaurant's kitchen looks during working hours, especially during the rush hour.

As long as I don't find anything in the nachos at the dome it doesn't bother me.

I work at a hotel as a banquet server, and I've done 5 years at a concession stand at University Hockey games.

I could tell you things that would make you never want to eat out again, I just choose to ignore it whenever I head out.

If you can, go to restaraunts where the cooking actually happens in view of the guests. At least then they make sure nothing gross goes on.

Never understood why people would want to eat something they couldn't see being prepared and who was preparing it.

Eat your fill at the tailgate, or at home before you get there. Consume as many barley pops as you can at the tailgate. Limit yourself to only 8 more beers during the game.

You should be safe if you follow that simple little rule.
