Stadium Food

Harmon is a good stick. Playing with a deck stacked against him too.

Beer selection will still be determined by the brewer of choice of the Stadium hirer. The Phoenix dictate the beer we drink (they sell the rights to the highest bidder...). 

Anyone whinging at the $10 price point is trying too hard to complain. LG the number of people you have in your group/family doesn't really matter, you have to compare the prices to what else you could buy. For ten bucks you can't even get maccas. You could go to the supermarket and feed the family at home but that's about your only option for anything substantial under ten bucks.

Hi All,

New to Wellington, NZ and the Nix. First time commenter.

Is there a tailgating get-together anywhere in the city? Something like they do in the states at football (NFL) games? Wouldn't it make economic, and community building sense to get together before entering the stadium? I'd be keen to bring the kids, in the car, to a spot to swap foods, remark on good/bad form of the team/coaches/organisation/referring and generally shoot the shit before the game begins.

Wives can bring their salads and SavBlancs and the boys can drink whatever they want (swapping samples on homebrew anyone?). Portable BBQs with sausages, burgers etc....

There are a couple of car park yards on Thorndon Quay/Road that would suit.

Thoughts? (or does this seem too hard?)

If Smithy tries pulling his pork anywhere near me and my kids I'll have him arrested.

Trying to get to 4 pages on food.....

Just remember in the last two years the coke bottles have gotten smaller and cost more, the chips have gotten smaller cartons and cost more and the pies have disappeared except from one area we told told earlier in the thread.

No, I care more about the fan enjoyment at the game. The Fun Police and the ultra loud friggen music are my other concerns. You may not agree with me but at least I am trying to improve things by being vocal than shutting up and accepting substandard stadium treatment.

Westpac Stadium should get the pies that Z Energy use.

Love that this thread has gone from "the food is pants" to "ooooh look, gourmet noms" to "where did my pies go".

Jesus wept, I'm surprised we get invited back.

.... a new chant?

"Where have all the pies gone, Hernandez?" 

(think Abba, Fernando) (or not)

I don't class chips as gluten free food I desire...

Wait till they find out it could be Lion Red being served, then we'll see who's laughing ;)

Lion Rouge? We definately need a bit of culture with our pies.

Lyon Rouge?

What are you sissy girls on about? ... pulled pork rolls? Get the faark outta here! You go to the stadium you drink Tui, eat chips, burgers, and mate you can't beat those shit dicks on a stick with a 50c tomato sauce sachet jizzed all over the top.

I remember hearing back in the 90's that Ajax's Amsterdam Arena had a McDonalds... was so jealous at the time.... 20 years later... Still jealous. Westpac is deplorable.

You lot are suggesting McDonald's as an improvement to the current stadium food?

I think you've had too many warm Tui's.

I don't go to the stadium to enjoy myself. I go to watch the Phoenix.

Yes thanx....although I tend to eat brown rice!

The South African sausages are the only saving grace at Westpac.

As a true Jafa , all I really require is a really top notch latte , and perhaps a fresh biscotti ....

I don't usually need to eat at the stadium, but I would like a decent beer. Heineken from the Pavilion Bar doesn't count by the way, it's also crap.

Surely we can do some sort of deal where the big breweries don't get EXCLUSIVE sales rights? I'm sure there are plenty who would still drink the crap beer, particularly if craft was a bit more expensive.

You must be a hungry buggar if you would pay that much.

You paid $15.50 for that?

Weiner $2. Grated cheese $0.08. Bun $0.40. Mustard $0.03. Box $0.02.

You sir are a sucker...
