What is the must-have food item offered at the ballpark and what makes it so good?
- "The chicken strips behind Sec 110 aren't bad, but there's nothing so superior and unique that a trip to the Coliseum is wasted without it. I do like the ice cream cookie sandwiches, though."
- "Nachos with jalapenos. You gotta have that cheesy burn when watching baseball."
- "I usually bring my own food, but I like the barbecue counter. They grill it right there, and the sauce is good."
