Scoreboard Gourmet, a Blog About Stadium Eating
Scoreboard Gourmet is a blog covering food's intersection with sports, particularly baseball right now. With Florida spring training in full swing, they are less focused on steroid scandals, more so on hot dog vendors and smoked corn. Some recent breaking news: the new Yankees stadium will not sell guava juice. [via djacobs]

The best holiday I ever had was a week in Florida for Spring Training. My Ex had a family member who worked for the Orioles and got us free tickets and clubhouse passes. We stayed in West Palm Beach, rented a Mustang convertible and drove all over the state going to games. We'd spend a few hours at the beach in the morning, go watch the game, then go for dinner on Clematis Street and gorge on seafood. Also, no sausage on earth tastes better then a ballpark hot dog in Florida in the spring.

Spring Training is placed oh so perfectly. You're almost through the winter, it just doesn't seem that way. You are completely tired of the cold. You hop a short flight down to FLA, and the sunshine hits you as you land.
The fact that you then get to see some baseball, and chug a cold one with a hot dog is fantastic. It doesn't even have to be good to be great. But if it is...

There was an article in the NY Times last spring where the guy reviewed the best baseball stadium food in the country. I brought the article with me on my trip to San Francisco and was rewarded with the best crab sandwich I have ever eaten in my entire life.

I travel a lot and am always looking for recommendations on food and sporting events. Scoreboard gourmet was a terrific find and I use it frequently as a source before I travel. The author of the blog is informative and fun to read. Great to see that others find scoreboard gourmet as helpful as I do.

"There was an article in the NY Times last spring where the guy reviewed the best baseball stadium food in the country."
From the archive, the site seems to date back to March 2007.... so looks like they beat the Times to the punch by quite a bit.

nobody knows that the heck smoked corn is?

thanks for reading Scoreboard Gourmet, and for all the great comments! Smoked Corn is exactly how it sounds...corn cooked in a smoker or a bbq with the top down. I think the trick is soaking the corn in water (or some liquid) before smoking so the kernels are moist and fat (exactly the opposite of what I experienced at a Cardinals/Marlins game).
