What's the most extravagant/expensive offering that has been spotted at a football ground? I went to Minute Maid Park to watch the Houston Astros and an IPA, hot dog and fries set you back $30.

Cant remember the exact price, but a BBQ pork sandwich and IPA when I went to watch Reno 1868 FC take on the Tulsa Roughnecks FC at the Greater Nevada Field Stadium.
Probably the best thing about the game which was my one experience of American "soccer" and was so bad I left at half time.
I hope you got the squirty cheese on your dog
In stadium prices for food and drink in the States can be eye watering.
Somebody has already done a book on football food quality at grounds. Every ground in fact. Football Fans Guide by Janet Williams. Hasn’t been updated for some time though.I've often thought of writing a book on the quality of pies across football grounds.
For me the best is a steak and mushy pea pie I had at Norwich when we drew 4-4- with them, or possibly a mince one at Wigan the year we won the Carling cup.
The worst, a chicken balti one at Highbury which was inedible.

Actually, a fella wrote a book several years ago called "92 Pies", where he did the 92 in one season and rated the pies at each stadium. I had very high hopes for this book as I love stuff like this, but unfortunately it turned out that he was only about 22 and the book was self-published (or at least un-edited), so it was full of appalling grammar and spelling mistakes. Plus the 92 has vastly changed in the decade or so since the book came out. So maybe it's time for an update...
Edit - I think I still have it somewhere, so I can dig it out and reveal his final pie-related results, if anyone cares.
