You May Never Eat a Sports Stadium Hot Dog Again

Surprise! Sports stadium concession stands are filthy

So-called dirty water hot dogs have got nothing on sports stadium food: According to an ESPN investigation, the concessions stands at America’s pro sports venues are plagued by food safety issues — think live mice found in Cracker Jack, beef blood dripping off shelves, and cooks sweating in your food. ESPN found that at more than a quarter of the stadiums, half or more of the food service outlets committed at least one high-level sanitation violation; the worst offenders include Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina and American Airlines Center in Dallas.
