Concessions are lame this year.

They had much more variety last year. They're pretty much only selling standard stadium fare this year. I'm disappointed. I hope they bring in more options for conference play.
No need to eat in the stadium ever, hit up Mustard’s before every game and have the classic Polish char combo with the sack full of fries. Nothing better.

Mustards is great, but depending on the game start there just isn't enough time to leave the office, drive to Evanston, park, and hit Mustards before the game. For me that covers any game 7pm or earlier, so it would be nice if the concessions food was decent and varied.

Pretty hard to justify full fare for one of these early games where stadium will be half full or less

Agreed but would it really kill them to put out onions and actual mustard/relish dispensers (instead of packets) for hot dogs?

The quality of the concessions menu has declined over the years. My inclination is to order a Mustard’s carry-out, put it in a ziplock, and smuggle it into WR. The aroma might draw a curious crowd, though.

All manner of replies come to mind, like foot-long, hold the pickle… but that would be beneath the dignity of this Board. So I will resist the temptation.

They changed dippin dots to where it's cheaper, but very small. My son loves to swindle grandpa to buy him that and it was $4 yesterday so a couple dollars cheaper, but insanely small.

You don't get that anywhere these days, at least with onions

BACK IN MY DAY they just let me carry my sack of food right into the front row of the student section.

You need to get to Wrigley more. There were multiple games this year where "dinner" would be grabbing some pickle spears, tomatoes, & sport peppers from the hot dog fixins bar (you can't turn down free) served with a sprinkle of celery salt on a napkin LOL. Obviously they have onions and relish too which are less efficient as finger food.

My god man, shell out for the dog!

I don’t live in Chicago, my family all get mad when I try to hide the ketchup away when everybody is prepping their hot dogs.

There was a time when the pepper bar at Quizno’s could serve as a second entree
