Methodology
To identify the NFL stadiums with the most concession options, we analyzed the approximate number of food and beverage locations available at each venue, using information sourced directly from each stadium’s official website*. Concession locations were defined as any point within the stadium where food and/or beverages are offered to fans.
We further evaluated this data by comparing the number of concessions to each stadium’s seating capacity and the approximate number of seating sections. This allowed us to estimate where fans might face the longest wait times for food, highlighting the stadiums where concessions are most accessible relative to the number of spectators.
Final Thoughts
Attending an NFL game is about more than just the action on the field — it’s about the entire fan experience, from the excitement in the stands to the food and beverages that fuel the fun. Our study shows that while some stadiums excel at providing numerous and easily accessible concession options, others may require a bit more patience to satisfy your game-day cravings.
At Upgraded Points, we honor the unwavering dedication of fans who go the distance — sometimes thousands of miles — to cheer on their team. We’re here to help you make every journey count, whether by maximizing your travel rewards or discovering the best concessions at your next away game.
