This ain't your grandpa's ballpark food.

When we had Mets season tickets during the Strawberry, Gooden, and Hernandez years, I couldn't wait to get to our seats so I could stand in line for Shea Stadium's curly fries! It seems like MLB ballpark food has gotten more sophisticated and gradually more expensive since the 1980's. Let's take a look at the new menu offerings for Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, and Citi Field for the 2018 season.

    Thanks to the website, amny.com., the following are the Mets newest culinary offerings for the 2018 season.

    1. Wowfulls - 1950's style Hong Kong egg waffles filled up with ice cream and all types of sweets.

    * Maybe it's just me but with these 4 new menu items, is the Mets front office trying to fat and sugar us to death? I hope the concession employees are all trained in CPR!

We haven't attended a MLB game since we quit our Mets season tickets in 1988. At that time, we had 4 box seats in the upper deck on the first baseline which cost us $15 per ticket.

Fenway Park is one of the most expensive ballparks in MLB baseball. Here's the average cost to catch a game at Fenway Park according to webstaurantstore.com

  1. Tickets - $54.79
  2. Hot Dog - $5.25
  3. Beer - $7.74
  4. Total  - $67.79
  5. Total For Two - $135.58
  6. Total For Four - $271.16

The $271 total does not include the cost of parking which can run anywhere from $9 to $50. Add it all up and you're talking about $300 to catch a Red Sox game. Just saying.
