I think is a decent idea, but is kind of expensive IMO. $25-30 more than the regular seat price just for unlimited hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, crackerjack, and soda. If beer was included, then it would be great, but I guess I could see eating a couple of dogs, some popcorn, and two sodas which would be ~$25.

"LOS ANGELES - Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack ... and throw in a dozen Dodger Dogs, too. The Los Angeles Dodgers will give fans something to chew on next season: all-you-can eat seats. The right-field pavilion at Dodger Stadium will be converted into the special section, giving around 3,000 fans as many hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn, nachos and sodas as they want. Tickets will sell for $35 in advance and $40 on gameday, and some items at the concession stand aren't in play — beer, ice cream and candy will be sold separately at regular prices. "Instead of paying cash, fans ask for whatever they want, and they get it. There are going to be some self-service parts, buffet-style, as well," Dodgers executive vice president and chief operating officer Marty Greenspun said. There will be some other limitations. Food booths open 90 minutes before games and close two hours after the first pitch. And anybody who walks up and wants 100 hot dogs — they're sold as Dodger Dogs, from $4.50 to the all-beef variety for $5.25 — will have to curb their appetite. "If a person goes up there and asks for four for his family, he won't be told no," Dodgers senior vice president of communications Camille Johnston said. Greenspun said the team tested the all-you-can-eat concept three times late last season. "The response was overwhelmingly positive" and gave the Dodgers food for thought, he said. A few other teams have had all-you-can-eat sections. "The St. Louis Cardinals have done it," Greenspun said. "It hasn't been anything of this size." In addition, he said, "the other ballparks charge a higher rate than this." All-you-can-eat isn't exactly the most health-conscious concept these days, but as Greenspun put it: "We're offering a fan amenity. Fans can elect to choose it or not choose it. We are offering basic ballpark fare that most fans enjoy." Tickets in left field, meanwhile, will be $10. "

Expensive? Shit, I'd pay that in a heartbeat. The Upper box seats at Shea are $35 for most games..

1/12/2007 3:54:22 PM

^ The regular seat prices are $10. You have to pay an adiditonal $25-30 for the all you eat seat.

I agree that the $10 seats are a steal.

^ the $10 seats are an awesome deal though

Well it says the tickets were normally 10$ before the beef up. I guess I could see myself eating 25 bucks worth of food there considering everything is about 5 bucks.

1/12/2007 3:56:50 PM

ha ha I just realized I fucked up the title of this thread. It is a bad-English speaking Chinese person section.

1/12/2007 3:59:09 PM

i guess a real fat ass would love that deal for a doubleheader

1/12/2007 3:59:41 PM

EDIBLE BLEACHERS!!!!!1

1/12/2007 4:28:11 PM

all you can eat bleach? nothnx

but seriuosly,

even though it doesnt include beer, thats a great deal

1/12/2007 4:33:35 PM

it would be a bitch to clean up that section every night after a game

1/12/2007 5:10:28 PM

can i buy season tickets to such a section?

1/12/2007 5:21:08 PM

I hope not.. you'd have a heart attack by the allstar break.

1/12/2007 5:26:10 PM

^ ha ha

Could you imagine eating hot dogs and nachos for 81 meals in a 6 month period.

the minor league team has the shit every game (of course its bad baseball, but whatever)

25$ gets you a ticket, all you can eat (burgers, brats, dogs, etc) AND all you can DRINK (25 taps, about 20 of them being micros - hey it is wisconsin afterall)

My sister lives near Elysian Park in LA.. pretty much in walking distance of Dodger Stadium. I'm gonna go mid-June and do these seats for the Mets series.

1/12/2007 6:23:15 PM

I would totally do this. I wouldn't eat all day in preparation.
