Pittsburgh Pirates AYCE section report
(from Baseball Think Factory) The Pittsburgh Pirates blog Mondesi’s House has a report about watching yesterday’s game from the section offering all you can eat food. The blogger actually only saw the last seven innings of the game because the first trip to the refreshment stand required waiting in line 30 minutes.
My final tally: a burger, two hot dogs, an order of nachos, and three Diet Pepsis. It’s not much more than I’d eat at a family cookout, especially spread over three hours.
Actually, I didn’t see much “abuse” from the AYCE customers. It’s not as if there was some enormous guy walking back and forth the entire game with four burgers in his hand at all times. The speed of the line clearly discourages a lot of people. Some employees looked like they were trying to keep up with the crush; others looked like they were moving in suuuuper—slooooow—-motion.

So then they don’t have vendors going through the section with food and drinks? That sucks. For the fans, I mean. Is there a limit to what you can take from the food stand? Nazis.

The blog says you can only get 4 items at a time.

Carey I think every baseball stadium that offers the all you can eat seats have a 4 item at a time policy. I actually was sitting in the all you can eat seats this past saturday at the Oakland A’s/Marlins game at the Oakland Coliseum. The seats are in the highest section of the stadium, but behind home plate and not that bad. Because no one really goes to A’s games, there was no problem going back and forth from our seats to the concession stand. The items offered were hot dogs, nachos, peanuts, soda (in a tiny cup), popcorn and ice cream sandwiches. They had no burgers (that would have been sweet though). Also, there were no vendors. I think because the food is already paid for they try to have as little staff as possible in order to have plenty of staff in the other pay-per-item sections. It was fun, but I won’t be doin it again anytime soon because they lacked to many of the foods I normally order when I got out to a ballgame.

Hey I never said I was a competitive eater (just a fan)… so you aren’t hurting me by writing that. You could at least let me know who the hater is though.
