Sport arenas food vendors in NYC cited for health violations

Posted on July 27, 2010 with 1 Comment

Earlier today the NY Post published an article that talks about the vendors in sports areas and how they are not up to the health code.  ESPN surveyed 107 sports areas across the county and the results they found are disturbing.  The Version Center in Washington, DC topped the list.  100% of the vendors inside the arena were cited with health violations.  Madison Square Garden rated the worst among the New York stadiums with 61% of their vendors being cited.  Yankee Stadium and Citi Field rated above MGS, but not by much.  Yankee Stadium had 48% of their vendors cited and Citi Field had 45%. The health violations include inspectors finding mouse droppings and roaches in the area where food is being prepared. Many spectators were interviewed and most of them had the same response.  They are going to continue to go to the sporting events, just going to think twice about getting a hot dog.  The spectators are also angry at the fact that they pay good money to see the sporting event and feel the least that the stadium could do is provide them with a healthy food vendor.  If you have dropping or cockroaches in your home or business, JP McHale can help.
