The Best Snacks at the Ball Park?



I finally picked up a couple of tickets for a Cards game. Opening day is during the women%26#39;s Final Four tournament which I will be attending. I opted for Infield Terrace, Section 347, Row 6. Decent seats with binoculars it looks like. :-)





So, now for the all important question, ';What%26#39;s my best option for game day snacks?'; The choices seem pretty generic. I%26#39;ve never had a Bratwurst. Any suggestions?





Thanks!

I usually get a brat and smother it with kraut and onions. Need to have a cold Bud to compliment it. I dig the garlic fries. Other than that- I like the old standby- Roasted Peanuts.





Section 347 will be great and a lot closer than you think. You will also have a great view of downtown and the Arch.





Have a great time.

Check out seatdata.com for a view from that section.





As for food I have to agree the specialty fries are great! I had some good BBQ from out behind the right field bleachers. Also love the nacho supreme w/ the multicolor chips, but I%26#39;m not sure if they still have those. And, as the other poster pointed out, you have to have a frosty Bud.




I don%26#39;t think I%26#39;ve ever met anyone who has never had a bratwurst. I would definitely grab one, with kraut as previously stated. Or, you could opt for a bratzel, but if you really want to do it justice, skip it at the ballpark and get it from Gus%26#39;, which is across I-55 from the Brewery. I second the nachos.




I think there are still a few street vendors that sell roasted peanuts outside the stadium for less than what you%26#39;d pay inside. That makes them taste even better.




I like the Kosher dogs. They are not served at the regular concession stands, but at the Kosher Best carts all over the stadium. Gotta have them with grilled onions. Yum!!! Also love the garlic fries and nacho supreme. I would also recommend buying a Gus%26#39; pretzel sold outside the stadium by independant vendors. Those are a St. Louis tradition.





Keep in mind that you can bring your own food into Busch Stadium. The Cardinals are one of the few teams that allow this anymore.




I agree on the Kosher dogs! Also agree on the Nacho Supreme and buying peanuts before entering the stadium. For me, though, no trip to the ball game is complete without a lemon squishy. It is like a lemon slushy thing....awesome!




Nachos and/or Kosher dog (with kraut and onions). Mmmm can%26#39;t wait for baseball season.
