Game-Day Eats Top-Notch At This MD Stadium, Yelp Says

ATLANTA, GA — Maryland's Oriole Park at Camden Yards just scored a touchdown in time for football season.

When the teams are on the field duking it out to defeat one another, a recent ranking from Yelp showed the real stars are the game-day eats at Oriole Park in Baltimore.

Yelp, a crowdsourced business review site, on last week released its list of the top 50 stadiums with crowd-favored foods. The analysts slid Oriole Park in the third spot over stadiums in Michigan, Louisiana, New York, Florida and New Jersey.

When the cards hit the table, it was Oriole Park's "historic vibes" and "bold Baltimore flavors" that put the stadium in the game. Yelp noted SuperBook Bar's crab cakes are among the best.

Other favorites among Yelp reviewers were Brick and Whistle’s signature warehouse cheeseburger and Baltimore Seafood House's Chessie, a foot-long Chesapeake-spiced sausage topped with creamy crab dip and pickled sweet corn.

"This classic stadium, along with these beloved regional specialties, brings a true taste of Baltimore to every game," Yelp said.

At No. 1, San Francisco's Oracle Park was recognized for its spicy Fuku fried chicken, Dungeness crab sandwiches on fresh sourdough and Gilroy garlic fries.

Yelp took into accountability food guides and maps that display where in the stadiums sports-lovers can grab food for their preferred taste, partnerships with national and local restaurants and the diversity of cuisine to include vegan and international flavors.

"Today’s stadiums are raising the bar on fan food, with creative, crave-worthy dishes inspired by popular restaurants, global flavors and hometown traditions. Game-day eats are now such a key part of the fan experience, ballparks have essentially become giant food halls, featuring celebrity chef brands and food maps to help fans find their favorite stands," Yelp wrote.
