Outside The Lines recently began an investigation after a series of complaints arose from fans about food safety violations in NFL stadiums across the league.
This was part of a larger investigation concerning Health Code violations in America’s top sports venues. In terms of food safety they investigated the number of “critical food safety violations” that occurred at each stadium’s individual vendors. ESPN’s NFL Nation Blog then organized each NFL stadium and found some shocking results. Sun Life Stadium, the home of the Miami Dolphins, finished dead last with an abysmal 93% of all food vendors committing at least one critical food safety violation with reports of incidents like insects being included in frozen drinks served from a machine that was never cleaned. It appears as if the state of Florida is rather lax in enforcing their health code and as Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay and Jacksonville Municipal Stadium came in right behind Sun Life at the bottom of the list.
The entire list can be found here.
On the other side of the coin you’re in luck if you’re a Patriots fan as the investigation of Gillette stadium did not yield a single violation. The Ravens’ M&T Bank Stadium and The Colts’ Lucas Oil Field were next in line with only 4% and 7% of vendors committed violations. Just something to think about next time you order up a $14 hot dog.
