NVMC Food; Roadkill burgers

As most of you know, I went to a game for the first time in 10 years the other night. I was a bit shocked at the prices even after trying to prepare myself. From the grill place around section 330 I bought a burger, hot dog, and large and small coke. 20$. I ate the burger and it was disgusting.

Several times I had to pick small hard bones out of it. The bread was hard on one side too. I would rather eat airplane food than that garbage. If I wasn't so hungry I would have dumped it. I learned a lesson though... Always eat a big meal before the game. As far as I know, it doesn't even help support the team with revenue so you aren't causing them (Charles Wang & the Islanders) any grief by boycotting the rancid roadkill they call food.

They used to have Quiznos.
The bastids now have them footlong hotdogs that taste like nuked bologna.

bad enough you have people around yelling "you suck" after goals by your team,
but you have half the crowd burping up that sh!t.

It is a new company and they have done some things a little better. I would have steered you away from 330, Dragoneye... Not good there. But I have had a decent (not great - decent) Philly Cheesesteak. The Nathan's spot by 102 isnt too bad... The Blog Boxers usually get stuff there.

I dont think the food is tremendous, but it is definitely better than last year (well - except the fact the quiznos is gone.

Eat before you go! during the last Pens game me and my brother went down we sat there and basically suffered until the final buzzer, than we look at each other without saying a word and simultaneously say "HOOTERS!" i would rather eat the gristle off the bottom of a 20 piece wing plate at hooters than eat most of the food at the coliseum.

the best deal in the entire place is the $5 trail mix container. It actually costs more at Stop & Shop.

And the $3.00 coffee is high... but better than $4.50 for water.

I miss the pizza oven downstairs.

Who remembers the Pizza Rolls from back in the glory days? I cannot find those anywhere. They always reminded me of that scene from "The Jerk" when Steve Martin was talking about the Pizza in a Cup he was eating. "This guy ran the other Pizza in a Cup guy out of business".

The $5 nonpareil are worth it also. It's like a pound of dark chocolate that will last the entire game and then some.

I sold it all, retired and moved to Fabulous Las Vegas!

Now there is a good plan. Hockey and Hooters. :cheers: I'm never eating at the coliseum again unless it is a pretzel. I still can't believe how much bone was in that 6+ dollar hamburger.

I grab some food at the handymart in the Sunoco on Hemp. Tpk. before games. Rarely the Coliseum deli. I miss the old pizza/deli next to Sunoco (now Papa John's) as they were the only place for miles that had slices of pizza.

I'd never pay more than $4.00 for a bottle of water unless boobs and butt were dancing on a stage in front of me. :banana: :lol:

I do not get down much anymore but when I do, the pregame meal is all about Hooters and has been since they opened.

Last month, after my brother and I finished off 3 pitchers of beer, 20 wings and a burger apiece, we were all set.

Those mini-pizzas that they sell at the concessons near 330 arent that great either. The cheese always dried up and the crust is too hard. The last one I bought wasn't even cut :dontknow:.

Just another reflection on our sorry organization. I never ever buy food at sporting events. I don't even care if they served the tastiest food in the world. I refuse to be held hostage to the rediculous prices they charge for food and beer.

Tickets cost too much to, especially for hockey, and a bad team to boot, so I haven't been to a game in about four years. About ten years ago I was going to 10 to 15 games a year. Five years ago I was going to about 7 or 8 games a year. Now I go to zero games a year. In these economic times I cannot justify spending what they charge for a 2 1/2 hour sporting event.

The only sport that has remained reasonable ticketwise is baseball although that will probably change with the new stadiums. Boy am I glad I got to go to so many live sporting events before it became such a huge money grab. Just not wirth it for me anymore. It is sad but it is what it is. Thank God for the advent of the HDTV. Much less expensive to sit on my couch with my other Islander fan friends who also can't afford to go anymore. We have the best view in the house and a hot dog, pretzel and beer cost me about one tenth of the price. The NHL and all of the major big league sports are pricing a large percentage of their customers out of the buildings.

That is fine, but don't complain about a lack of support from your once huge fan base when you have priced them out of the sport that they love so much. That is why the talk of the team being moved doesn't bother me the way it did ten years ago. I can't afford to go to the games anyway so I can root for them and watch them regardless of where they are playing.

Unless the player salaries come back down to earth which will never happen and they make it more affordable to go to games I am done with live hockey unless I catch a game at Bridgeport. I have two other rabid Islander fan friends who feel the same way and I'm sure there are many more just like us. Those games cost less even with the ferry fare.

Sorry about the rant, but it has become a very sad thing for this Islander fan since 1975. :isles:
