You just can ’ t beat a giant pretzel . They last a while due to their size , they ’ re not too intense and they ’ re the perfect salty complement to the beer you ’ d also be holding . Also , they ’ re one of the lesser of the evils , nutrition-wise ( despite being twice your daily need for carbs !).

I have good memories of getting hot dogs with my dad and brothers at UofL football games at Papa John ’ s Cardinal Stadium .

The Louisville Slugger Stadium in Louisville sells a pretty mean fried bologna sandwich , very reminiscent of my mother ’ s . Notched slice to prevent the bologna from turning into a bowl , cheese and mustard on bread and I ’ m a happy fan .

Corn dogs are my favorite ballpark food . There is just something about it that reminds me of my childhood .

Nachos . Regardless of the ballpark , they ’ re my go-to treat . They always remind me of watching the Louisville Redbirds at old Cardinal Stadium . Those memories - including , obviously , the “ Whoop-WOOoooooooo ...” chant - mean the world to me .

A memorable part of my childhood was going to watch the Reds play and getting ice cream in a mini helmet . As an adult , there is nothing better than a hot dog , a bag of peanuts and a cold beer at Louisville Slugger Field .

I can spot Elizabeth Kizito balancing that basket of cookies on her head from any spot of Louisville Slugger Field . Her cookies are definitely my favorite ballpark snack . Her snickerdoodle cookies are the best !

When it comes to stadium food , my personal favorite is the Chicago dog at Wrigley Field . Poppy seed roll , neon green relish and of course the sport pepper is the perfect finish . Don ’ t ever , EVER try to put Ketchup on a Chicago dog .

Southern Indiana Little League concession stands offer surprisingly varied menus . We seem to be at one almost every spring evening , and my favorite items vary depending on location . Best items for me are Slushees , Icees , and popsicles – anything that keeps me cool and has lots of sugar .

I absolutely love ballpark food of all types , but two of favorites are the soft pretzel with cheese and Cracker Jacks . Locally ? The Fried Bologna at Slugger is a major key .

When I think of ballpark food I think of hotdogs . I remember going to the Cardinal Stadium at the Kentucky Fairgrounds for Redbird games in college when they would run promotions of 25-cent hotdogs all night . With a roll of quarters , my buddies and I would eat like kings .

Busch Stadium Hot Nuts ! Get your mind out of the gutter . They ’ re not ‘ hot ’ as in ‘ spicy ,’ just recently cooked . Pecans , cashews or almonds ( which are my go-to ). The sad part is I don ’ t even give myself a chance to really enjoy them . Gone in five seconds flat . I ’ m helpless .

I ’ m just really not that into sports ( this may come as a surprise to you ). However , I recently joined one of my best girlfriends to watch the Reds play at the Great American Ballpark and really enjoyed the atmosphere ... and the beer . So , beer is my answer . Is that considered food ?
