From Tailgate to Touchdown: Which NFL Stadiums Offers Fans the Best Food and Drink Variety?

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Upgraded Points' latest analysis examines which NFL stadiums provide the most concessions variety, ranking each stadium based on the breadth of options and food accessibility by section and crowd density. Whether a home team supporter or traveling across the country to cheer on favorite players, enjoying great food fuels great game-day memories.

"Football isn't just about the touchdowns, it's about the full fan experience," said Keri Stooksbury, editor-in-chief at Upgraded Points. "Our study took an analytical approach to find which stadiums offer the highest number and the most accessible concession options. That way, fans can be best equipped to grab snacks while cheering for their team."

Study Methodology

To identify the NFL stadiums with the most concession options, Upgraded Points analyzed the approximate number of food and beverage locations available at each venue, using information sourced directly from each stadium's official website. Concession locations were defined as any point within the stadium where food and/or beverages were offered to fans. They also compare the number of concessions to each stadium's seating capacity and the approximate number of seating sections to highlight the stadiums where concessions are most accessible.
