OMMF Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 It could be tasty, I guess, and I know I could eat it but would I want to?http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/otherc...23/daily21.htmlThe West Michigan Whitecaps of minor-league baseball?s Midwest League (the same league in which the Dayton Dragons play) will offer a Fifth Third Burger this season. After all, the team?s stadium located just outside of Grand Rapids is called Fifth Third Ballpark.The burger is a whopping 1.66 pounds ? 5/3 pounds, get it? ? and will cost $20. It includes nacho cheese, chili, salsa, crunched tortilla chips, tomato and lettuce on an eight-inch sesame seed bun.?The Fifth Third burger is not for the casual eater,? Matt Timon, the Whitecaps? food and beverage director, said in a news release. ?It has nearly 5,000 calories, 300 grams of fat and a whole lot of carbs.?What other over-the-top or just plain terrible foods have you seen, heard of or even eaten at a sporting event?

Jer15 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I can't see any stadium being too concerned about healthy food.What I found to be really funny, is at the Air Canada Centre here in Toronto, they have grilled cheese sandwiches available, made with Kraft singles! lol.

Sodboy13 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I went to Grand Rapids back in '04 to see a Whitecaps game. The featured item then was the "Swimming Pig," an 8 oz. grilled pork chop sandwich slathered in BBQ. Assuming these menu items are still available, you could create yourself quite the value meal at Fifth Third Ballpark:Appetizer: Souvenir batting helmet full of nachosDinner: Fifth Third BurgerDessert: Deep-fried cheesecakeBeverage: 32 oz. Leinie'sAs far as other excesses go, I know the Beloit Snappers used to offer all-you-can-eat Mondays for $20. (With 10 beers on tap.) And I wouldn't mind heading down to Sauget one of these days to have a go at those deep-fried White Castles.

tp49 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'm guessing that the recession really hit the cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in the Grand Rapids area hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
