Looking at the English Premier League, Southampton lead the way for foodie fans, with St Mary’s scoring 72 across our index. This is helped by the south coast stadium charging supporters an affordable £8.70 for a burger and beer – only Ipswich Town are cheaper (£7.50).
Speaking of which; Ipswich earn a complete score of 67.4, placing second on our index of the best foodie arenas – largely thanks to offering the league’s second-cheapest beer (£3.50). Next up, Leicester and Aston Villa rank third (63.3) and fourth (42.3), respectively, ahead of Brentford (42) - who, incidentally, are the only London club to crack the top ten.
The other end of the table is dominated by the traditional big six, with Arsenal (12.8), Manchester City (25), Chelsea (26), Manchester United (28.2), and Tottenham Hotspur (30.3) placing 20th – 16th, respectively. Liverpool, the remaining ‘big six’ team, place 12th with a score of 32.2. Curiously, though, despite their low overall ranking, Tottenham actually have the league’s strongest food-quality rating (4.1 stars).

So, there we have it – the ultimate ranking of the best (and worst) major league venues when it comes to availability and quality of fan food. Make sure to bear the above in mind when attending your next NFL, NBA, NHL, or Premier League game! In the meantime, explore even more expert sports insight, news, and advice from our sports experts over on the OLBG blog.
Jake Ashton, Football Betting Expert at OLBG commented on the findings: “Common ways to enjoy a sports game involve placing a bet and having a drink, however, with the food offerings at sports stadiums changing every few years, with new and unique food up for grabs, food is becoming a major part of the fan experience.
Our findings show the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium leads the NFL foodie ranking, and the San Antonio Spurs' venue offers the NBA's cheapest and most beloved hotdogs.”

Stunning Sports Venues: Ranked!
Methodology
After reviewing all sports team sites, fan forums, and Reddit, we collected data regarding the cost of food and drink at each major league stadium. We then collected social listening data to determine how fans respond to food conversations online (whether positive or negative, as well as whether they show joy or disgust).
The most popular foodie stadiums were ranked from highest to lowest, with the higher scores indicating the best stadiums for food across each league. Similarly, the tailgating ranking is based on the least fussy fan bases across the social listening data index. The higher the score, the less fussy the fans are online.
The above data was then indexed to rank the best foodie stadiums across each league.
