Lets talk desserts, while not White Sox quality, the Rays had some solid choices with their Epic Milkshake stand (behind homeplate).

Both the cotton candy and chocolate options were a hit with the kids. Heck even their basic soft serve ice cream (Mister Softee) was great!!!

Back from vacation in St Pete and of course visited one of my favorites MLB teams...the Tampa Bay Rays! Tropicana Field is much maligned, but it does have some good qualities, including awesome food choices....

My favorite thing to eat at a game is at my hometown, Louisville Slugger Field, and their Spicey Italian. The Trop must have the same vendor because they also have it, but they had the footlong version. That's a lot of sausage to take down, but well worth it...

@Reds lets step up your game next season, because the rest of the MLB is lapping you at the concessions stands. Its time to expect more from Great American Ballpark.

I feel this more today after seeing the @RaysBaseball on a recent trip to Tropicana Field. More on that later...

[Matthew Mattingly @TailgatingCzar]

Lets have a chat @Reds fans about the food at GABP. There has to be some better options because everytime I go, I leave disappointed (food and gameplay).

[Matthew Mattingly @TailgatingCzar]

LaRosa Pizza had good flavor, but could we hold off on the extra layer of grease?

[Matthew Mattingly @TailgatingCzar]

Rosies Sundae was solid, but it's ice cream, you can't really mess this up. In the age of over the top desserts and milkshakes (looking at you @whitesox and your amazing Campfire Milkshakes), the @Reds need to do more.

Lets start with the Grippos Walking Taco. I was trying to be nice in this video, but this just wasn't any good.
🚶‍♂️🌮

Is Montgomery Inn BBQ any good at all? Never had it before this, and this wasn't a good, first impression.

[Matthew Mattingly @TailgatingCzar]

Of course still made some time for some baseball. Another night at Slugger Field with my baseball partner and some good food.

[Matthew Mattingly @TailgatingCzar]

Proud of my son and LSA winning the Kentucky Callenge Cup against the best competition throughout the state

Luke played with one of his better game, ending the season with a hat trick and trophy/medal.

Elite list is solid. (You could argue Fenway and Wrigley are dingy cramped ballparks, but they make up for it in character and nostalgia)

T-Mobile is Coors Field with a roof therefore, Coors>T-Mobile.

Toronto did a great Reno, still not top 20.

Globe Life isn’t even the best Globe Life (AC matters in DFW, but not aesthetically)

Chase is not good, it’s not even average

Yankee Stadium above Citi Field tells you this is a bad list

The worst ranking on here is having Target Field so low (elite) and in the same category as Nats Park.

Marlins, GABP and Kauffman should not be in the same category as Rate and Angel.

[Mayor Craig Greenberg @LouisvilleMayor]

What’s now a parking lot outside of Slugger Field will become a year-round hub of energy, connection, and opportunity helping drive the vibrancy of downtown Louisville and creating new economic momentum for our community.

Thank you to Diamond Baseball Holdings and Machete Group for their incredible investment in Louisville and belief in our city’s future.

[Matthew Mattingly @TailgatingCzar]

No game, but that didn't stop the food reviews....

[Matthew Mattingly @TailgatingCzar]

Unfortunately the @LouisvilleBats games didn't happen last night with the weather, but at least they drone show still did. Looking forward to being back at #SluggerField soon with my kids, eating more ballpark food.

@InsideTheParkYT @MarinerMuse I think it has some of the best food in MLB and probably at the best prices as well.

Polish Sausage with a Campfire Milkshake crushes everytime.
