MLB 2015 - Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!

Apparently the Cubs considered playing the season in Milwaukee. I guess US Cellular is too close.

Miller Park has a roof, no conflicting concerts/events scheculed and they've been host to Houston (vs Cubs) and Cleveland on short notice.

There were also likely less sponsor conflicts than utilizing the Cell.

It would help if the Cubs weren't completely mismanaged all the time in everything they try to do.

Actually looks pretty good, though I think I would need to share.

I've already had garlic fries in SF, a Fenway Frank, and a Chicago Dog at Wrigley. The next stadium food on my list is the mac and cheese crab dog at Camden. Pretty self explanatory, a hot dog with mac and cheese, crab, and Old Bay seasoning. Saw it on a TV show and immediately had a huge craving. I would try to make it myself but I hate imitation crab meat and real crab meat is too expensive here.

It's a shame Comerica's signature food is Little Caesar's... Frankly Comerica's concessions are the worst of any ballpark I've been too. I'm not lying when I say the single-A Whitecaps offer a better selection and quality.

Speaking of the Whitecaps, they are debuting new food this season too, including a pretzel-breaded Italian sausage sandwich, lobster nachos, vegetable potstickers, and cotton candy-wrapped Twinkies.
 
Re: MLB 2015 - Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!

Dang, I voted for the buffalo tots or whatever Hot Tots was.

Lobster nachos sounds good but will probably be like 12 bucks, or faux lobster. The Italians sausage sandwich sounds good, though.

The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are countering with a burger using elephant ears carnival food as buns.

Though their signature dish is going to be their revised patty melt... a bacon topped burger patty using grilled cheese sandwiches as the buns. Because Wisconsin.

Also, Miller Park has the best kept secret food stand: on the second (loge) level behind home plate is a "food truck" with their signature "Spaghetti IN a meatball" and a second offering of a specialty dish themed to the city/region of the opponent for that series.

I've posted about this numerous times - one of the best ideas at a ballpark I've seen. They have the same thing on the club level, behind home plate at the brisket stand (which is the best food item there, IMO).

AJ Bombers at the ballpark also has a special custard flavor that is often themed to the opponent (gooey butter cake for St. Louis, Twinkie for Minnesota, etc). Holey Moley Doughnuts and Smoke Shack are new at the ballpark this year, so themed doughnuts may be in the works as well.

Miller Park has the best food of any of the 26 ballparks I've visited, in both variety and quality.

They do need to work on their poutine, though.

Maybe it's a good thing I don't go to many games. I'd be fat and broke from all the delicious food. Versus being just fat now. :D


Also, haven't had club level seats in a decade. Will be seeking them out for a game soon now that I am armed with that knowlege. :D

Well, at least that's better than being just broke.:D

The fan vote is still going on. The lobster nachos, potstickers, the sausage sandwich never made it to the list. Of what's on the current list, I voted for the French Fry Pizza Pie... because potatoes are my carb of choice.

Is this what you speak of? The funnel cake bacon burger?

That's not as bad as the burger they sold in Arlington last year. The one that was the size of a dinner plate, that some 300 pound woman scarfed down in about an inning and a half. And then she proceeded to reach for her man's nachos the next inning. She sucked down about 8200 calories in the span of about 58 pitches.

I'm sure that burger is put to shame by the Fifth-Third Burger.
 
Re: MLB 2015 - Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!

Went to Spring Training in Lakeland yesterday for Tigers-Jays. Some observations:

1. Little disappointed in Joker Marchant to be honest. Figured the Tigers would try to make their Spring Training home better than their affiliate stadiums, but just like Fifth-Third in West Michigan has better food than Comerica, Fifth-Third is a better stadium than Joker Marchant.
2. Avila was already getting the shift put on him. He beat it by getting a double to left center. Why these guys don't bunt or slap down the line I'll never know. It's an easy single and possibly even double since the closest player is right behind second base.
3. Jose Bautista is a man-beast. Hit a line drive homer that got out of the park in <4 seconds. Guy tried to catch it and might have broken his hand.
4. Snow birds. Snow birds everywhere. Stadium was probably 80% retirees. About 20% were Jays fans from Canada, 65% snow birds of Tigers fan from MI, and the remaining 15% vacationers. I didn't know Spring Training relied that heavily on the old folks to fill the seats, figured there would be more of a vacation population.
5. Joker Marchant offered sauerkraut as a topping for their hot dogs. I don't believe Comerica does this, but they should.

Overall a great time. Nice to see some live baseball again.
 
Re: MLB 2015 - Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!

Keep in mind that Joker Marchant is the home for the Single A affiliate Lakeland Tigers.
