Fuck the DH
Don't know if they still do it, but unlimited dogs at Dodger Stadium were bad because they were boiled instead of grilled.

And even if they were good, they should be avoided because they're the right field cheap seats.

They used to just have a giant tub of dollar dogs wrapped in foil and you'd grab as many as you want and take them to the register. Now at least they cook them not quite to order but you know your dog was cooked within the last 5 minutes or so when you buy it (mostly because of how long the lines are so they're constantly being doled out)

The dollar dog nights in Oakland were always very good. Despite the stadium itself, it was nice seeing games from decent seats for twenty bucks plus dollar hot dogs.

I wear a trench coat lined with wieners into the stadium, saves a lot of money in the long run.

Also just want to say that Koegel 's chicken viennas are the superior hot dog by a mile.

Also, if Miller did a dollar food night, it'd probably be brats.

They do dollar hot dog night all the time. The more fun challenge is eating the cycle by eating each type of sausage.

Butt first, let's

It disturbs me to know how many of your stadiums are clearly selling you old hot dogs - the cheapest and easiest of meats to prepare - and apparently people are accepting it.

Like, I'm pretty sure $1 hot dogs are STILL a profit even without the "you're going to need an overpriced drink to wash that down" factor. Skimping on that is just evil.

I've never seen an Angels dollar dog night. They used to have infinite refill sodas which was nice. Still cheaper beer than anyone else.

Bring your own sandwiches into the stadium, they won't say anything.

These are planned promotions. They don't all of a sudden say on Sunday night, "Welp, we have a stockpile of these old hot dogs, we need a dollar hot dog day to sell them all!"

But yea, hot dogs are cheap as hell and they are certainly still profiting on this.

They may not spontaneously plan out Hot Dog nights for surpluses but that hot dog picture posted is clearly one that's old by at least aan hour or two if not more. That should just be unacceptable to the baseball fan. We must stand up for our right to have "fresh" cheap garbage meats.

And I say that as a New Yorker raised on dirty water dogs. But at least the rolls are freshish.

The Skydome (Rogers Centre) where the Jays play has overpriced but fine hot dogs. The good thing is, they let you bring your own food in. There was a guy on Twitter who was trying to see what the limits were, he brought in a giant burrito, a whole pizza, even a charcuterie board and loaf of baguette once.

St Louis will let you bring your own food and drink in, as long as it's non-alcoholic but everyone just pours an airline bottle of whisky into their Coke and the ticket people just look in your bag, see it's in a plastic bottle and let you through

Food's decent there but not as good as at Blues games, and same goes for the beer selection (though it's cheaper than at the hockey, you can only get Urban Chestnut or Civil Life in cans unlike at Kiel where you can get it on tap)

I refuse to drink Bud or Coors, but St Arnold’s and Karbala are $12-14 each. That’s money I could spend stuffing hotdogs in my gullet.

Miller Park lets you bring in whatever you want as well as long as it's non-alcoholic (and it is sealed).

The current dollar dogs at MMP are clearly fresh, and in fact you can watch them grill the dogs while waiting in line forever

That's probably also why they limit you to 4 dogs per person

Safeco has vegan hot dogs that are incredibly overpriced and overcooked (to the point where the CEO from the local company that makes them has told them to stop screwing it up), but I buy them anyway because I don't want them to go away.

Looking forward to the year 2022 when we get to add "concussion from falling Coors Light silver bullet" to the list of pitcher injuries.

Honestly surprised Trevor Bauer hasn't tried to send himself pine tar via drone and then decry any footage of the offense as "fake news".
