Is the Stadium Food Stalls Food

With the season nearly upon us and having been there for the Hurricanes games, some things IMHO just don't change. The Stadium food supplied at the food stalls for example. UberGunner2008-07-16 14:44:55

i usually keep to the fish and chip option there.  it's bearable.

Morgan Spurlock would have a field day.

They would do better to get more individual stalls from samll restaurants and cafes. I remember that Kopi used to have a stall and their satay wrap was awesome.

Actually they need to go to a football game in the US and get some ideas. I went to a USC game at the Coliseum a few years back and the food was amazing, best I've ever seen at a sports event. I remember sitting there with a pork rib sandwich and the hugest homemade lemonade you've ever seen.

OK, hungry now, off to lunch

If its anything like AMI (I'm guessing it is) the whole lt should be shut down.

Re: the staff.  My kids school use serving at a stall as a supplement to their fund raising.  A parent could be on the serving team & watch the games free!!

I have to say one thing- you guys have so many staff working on the stalls! It's great! The queues for food and beer at our Stade de Tard  are diabolical. Also TD seems to have taken a "give the mentally challenged a job" approach to staffing said stalls.

Food's crap, but those cute plastic Tui 6 packs are adorable!!

The burgers are bizarre, I think they are baked then put under the heat lamps, the bottom buns have usually turned into crispy crunchy biscuits, and the burger meat - well I haven't had burgers that bad since I asked for a cheese burger from a van outside Parkhead for a Celtic v Hibs many many years ago, and he took the burger out of a pot of boiling water 

We need Cevapcici.


Or scotch pies and bovril at least, perhaps not  - jag and I would never see any of the game as we'd spent the match in the food stall queue!

ive worked at the stadium and the burgers actually get cooked in ovens for about 45 mins. i think they come pre cooked though. clark007e2008-07-15 13:50:27

The day we take culinary tips from the Scots is the day we fail as a species.

I'm surprised it wasn't dipped in batter and deep fried.

how can you eat there at all!

I think there's maybe 3 people on this forum who know what these are....

I usually just smuggle BK in..

Indeed - thought I was only the Bling FC boards there for a mo! - hilarious the number of times food discussion come up on that board that there is a clamouring for Cevapcici

the food standard at the stadium needs to be looked at, its only sa matter of time before someone gets sick from eating the crap they serve up.

You just can't kick the Balkans out of some people...

Eden Park is good they have a Subway

Oatcatkes, that's what's required

Only if there's some decent butter, cheddar and pickled onions to go with them

Just fill up on beer.

But even the Beer at the stadium is expensive. Even in mini stubbies that they serve.  Ginger, I had an almost Burger at West Brom some years ago and that pratt too boiled the meat patti. I was crook for 4 days afterwards. I have heard some people have complain of crook stomachs after eating the Stadium Burgers, the alleged Hot dogs were also mentioned as another source.

Expensive and average. I only ever bother getting a punnet of chips before the game (which are pretty hard to get wrong) because during it obviously you want to watch the game. The food is over priced for what you get but they know its your only option so they crank up the prices.

As long as they get some decent beer this year I'll be happy. 

we usually eat at burger fuel before we go to stadium so we do not have to buy anything there.

it'll be tui or speights as always, until the a - league gets a quality beer sposnor I expect it will be like that for ever, gotta be better than the XXXX in Q'land....

Tui or Export.

I *WISH* they had Speights! As far as cheaper beer goes, it's drinkable.

I'm still rooting for Monteiths to sponser the 'nix though. (And my reputation means I must mention Guinness at the stadium would make me happy)

The XXXX at Suncorp is so sh*te (either flavour) that I had to drink two OP (Over Priced) Bourbon and Cokes whilst the locals drank a dunny water!!! No wonder i struggled to remember the second half of every game I went to

At least it's not Lion Red

It is when league is played there 

I hope that one day they'll have Budvars or Pilsner Urquels at the stadium.
Czech beer. The best. End of.

Good memory's those... mmmm Budvar... cheap as chips and bluddy awesome!!!  Can it be gotten in NZ yet???

New World in Thorndon used to have six-packs, but they seemed to have been out of stock lately.
Failing that, you can get them at the Malthouse and Temperance, but you'll have to dish out $7.50 for a bottle...

sh*te!!!!

I remember in London we were payin a fiver for a bucket of six in some massive bar in Piccadilly... bloody sensational performance it was too!!!

(admittedly that was a few yrs ago lol)

I paid $3 for a coke today...

You can buy a 2 litre of Coke from Pak N Save for almost halt that.

The beer's not expensive. It's cheaper than at a bar.
The food's reasonably priced too.

But both are crap!

Every time I've bought a punit of chips they have been tepid at best. Sometimes receiving a nice hot punit on a cold day goes down well. But this lot don't know what hot is (Except for their pies) for the most part.

Typical that yet another conversation has swung the way of being about alcohol...when it started out as being about stadium food
