Saving Money on food at a Sporting Event

Nachos, Beer, Sodas, Candy and Ice Cream. Bottled water too. Sporting events are a wonderland of junk food. And baseball and football stadiums across the country sell their refreshments at highway robbery prices. Many will argue that getting a beer and a hot dog at the baseball game is part of the experience, but for those looking for a healthy or cheaper (or both) alternative, outside food can often be legally brought into the parks. For those unwilling to pay super-inflated park prices, they can call the local stadium in advance to see what types of food items may be purchased outside and subsequently bought in. Calling the stadium to make see if this is an option, is one way of cutting expenses for a professional sporting outing nearly in half, and can be done as easily as dialing free 1800-GOOG-411 (very convenient) on the way to the game.
