" Tailgate isn&amp;#039;t everything. Sometimes you&amp;#039;re actually inside, watching the game, and you get hungry. Most of the time, that means soggy nachos and rubbery bratwurst. But as we found in our highly unscientific research into gameday grub across the league, sometimes there&amp;#039;s also an excellent pulled-pork sandwich around midfield \u2014 and, more often, a nice local brew. Now we haven&amp;#039;t been to all these stadiums, but we have scanned fan preferences and some cold hard facts. The result is an extremely biased and highly debatable guide \u2014 based on five standard categories measured on a sliding scale of awful to excellent \u2014 that should help you calculate the cost of a ticket, re-evaluate your bragging rights, or at least stop worrying about where your team stands in the real power rankings. Because if there&amp;#039;s one thing we can say definitively about food and football, it&amp;#039;s that the caliber of your team most definitely does not match the caliber of its cuisine. 1.
