Is absolutely disgusting and should result in that vendor being kicked the hell out without any other thought. Verify the claim and don't hesitate if true...Boot their asses

I already took a second mortgage out on my house so I couldn’t afford to eat there anyway, lol. So, I dodged that bullet on Sunday. All kidding aside, this is absolutely disgusting and shameful.

maggots in my hot chocolate packets. Felt the buggers in my mouth, thought it was the hot chocolate with marshmallows, then remembered it was not.

Anyway as said above, that is what you get putting ketchup on a hot dog....

My kids are little-it’s still a lot of fun to go and tailgate. I will always prefer to watch the game in the stadium than at home, as bad as it is there. Certainly no upgrade over Giants Stadium-concessions suck, lines suck, etc but once you’re sitting down it’s still what it always was.
Probably left over from before the start of last year

and probably purchased food at the stadium a total of 3 times.

That said, I am thinking this video is potentially staged. Maggots eat rotting meat for the most part because flies have been on it.

They will eat other foods that have moisture but they key ingredient here would be the flies. I am just not confident that flies would have been able to get into ketchup. Either sealed packets or a pump system would have likely prevented that.

MetLife Stadium and Delaware North confirm this happened.

"We take the sanitation of our facilities extremely seriously. Upon learning well prior to kickoff Sunday that a single ketchup vessel had been compromised, we took immediate action and discarded the vessel and thoroughly inspected other condiment stations. As an additional precaution, we are sanitizing all condiment pumps and increasing the availability of single-serve condiment packets," Delaware North said in a statement.

Nice to spend billions and not upgrade any part of the fan experience.
MetLife a prime example of corruption

How did we get this dump, and Jerry J built his place for $300-400 mil less? And Atlanta built theirs for $100 mil less WITH a retractable roof in the middle of a city? Everyone says 'labor cost differences'...really? ha ha

This. The stadium is embarrassing. It would have been awesome if they built it on the west side along the Hudson.
If you think labor costs are insane in north jersey  
bhill410 : 9/16/2021 8:45 am : link
Try building something in NYC. Also it would have killed tailgating which is really the only reason I still go to watch this dumpster fire of a team. There are some obvious pros - bars and mass transit but essentially removing tailgating from a football game seems like a step too far IMO.

yes.. the union situation in NJ is ridiculous. Jerry probably setup a tequila stand on our side of the rio grande and recruited workers.

Is a dump and you had 2 franchise working together which was part of the problem. However they should have got out of New Jersey and went up the Hudson a little ways

And split between 2 NFL franchises. I really don't buy the labor argument either. Just look at the MSG renovation. Came out great and is a huge improvement.

To me its just incompetence which isn't surprising between the Jets/ Giants. Is there a worse NFL stadium? All the new ones are much better and the older ones have a ton more charm.

In Pittsburgh, the ketchup gets piped-in directly from the factory.

They bring toilet water, we bring maggots. Battle for the bottom of the league honors.
The stadium/area  
Sammo85 : 9/16/2021 1:31 pm : link
is really poor. Might be among bottom 3-5 in NFL despite being newer. Just not a clean/fun experience or friendly to fans and enjoyment of the football either. Just feels sanitized, distant, no connection or emotion.

The fact you had two franchises involved should have abetted a more impressive plan for stadium and area experience and dealt with the "premium" on costs. Still, the parking and food is terrible there too.

It speaks to the somewhat out of touch or isolated feel we get from ownership and management of both franchises going past decade. On field product is terrible and the overall fan product is disconnected from any imagination, experience, drive to excel and set the standard, etc.

mikeinbloomfield : 9/16/2021 3:23 pm : link
these for me.

As for the stadium itself, in a lot of respects its worse than the 30 year old stadium it replaced, especially getting in and out. I made the mistake of trying to take the escalators out of the game Sunday and me and my 11 year old son almost got trampled. How they thought this escalator design made sense in getting 70,000 people out of the stadium, I have no idea.

But this is the stadium we have. Sunday was my son's first game, and we are going to be going for the foreseeable future.
Stadium is a complete dump  
moespree : 9/16/2021 3:33 pm : link
$1.5 billion for something that one could make a solid argument actually downgraded in a number of areas from one built in the 70s.

Incredible corruption and incompetence led to this sorry stadium. Good symbolism for both franchises that play in it too.
