Dodger Dog Feast

Going to Dodger Stadium has always been about sitting with friends and family, along with other Angelenos, rooting for the Dodgers, and eating. From the mainstays of peanuts, malts, & Dodger Dogs to the newer, fancier items like garlic fries, Dodger Stadium has always offered food for the masses. And they also always seem to have a gimmick, too, be it blanket night, a bobble give-away, Echo Park Night, or any number of other specials.

Well, this Thursday, there is another gimmick to attract a hardcore fan; but watch out: it may not be worth it!

See, on Thursday, September 21, Dodger Stadium is offering Pavilion Party Packs or "All You Can Eat at Dodger Stadium" Night!

For $35 per person, you get a ticket in the Right Field Pavilion section and all the Dodger Dogs, water, nachos, popcorn, peanuts, and Coca-Cola products you want (starting an hour and a half before game time). Not included is beer, ice cream, and candy.

Sure, it's 35 bucks a person, but think if you bought the realistic total of what one person could eat:
$4.50 Dodger Dog
$5.50 water
$6 Nachos
$5.50 Peanuts
$5 popcorn
$4.50 Coke

So, the question is: Is it worth it? Wouldn't it be better just to buy the $6 or $8 ticket and the food you really want (and can really consume)? I mean, it doesn't even come with ice cream/malts. Sad.

Beware of this gimmick - it may not be worth it. I would say it's not.

Now, maybe if it included parking...

Now, do I get unlimited veggie dogs? Those are the most expensive dogs in the park!

Dude, I would pay THREE dollars for that dog right now. That looks great!

Oh that is so cheesy. I was at the Dodgers stadium a few years ago and someone started throwing peanut shells at my nephew and I and then it escalated to a leftover hot dog in bun and ketchup - I got up after picking it up off of my nephew whose shirt got ketchup all over it and threw it back - and yelled next time I am coming up there. It never happened again.
