Get a load of this:

This year at @Eagles games: A Dunkin Macchiato Cereal crusted beef brisket and Monterey jack cheese croquettes served with Rita’s Wild Black Cherry Ice BBQ sauce.

Two conflicting thoughts here:

1) If you look at stadium food in a vacuum, you see that the game has evolved tremendously over the years. You’ve got all kinds of assorted offerings at the Wells Fargo Center and Citizens Bank Park, right? Nice restaurants, gourmet food, vegan offerings, etc. Plus, the alcohol game has expanded at the Linc and elsewhere. You have to give points for creativity and the introduction of new offerings at the various arenas in our area. This “space” has really exploded over the past half-decade or so.

2) Do you see Bobby from Delco going to the concourse at halftime for the cereal-crusted beef brisket croquette? I just wonder how many people at Lincoln Financial Field are going for this as opposed to a hot dog, cheese steak, beer, etc. Is the croquette congruent with the fan demographic at Lincoln Financial Field? Who is eating this? Serious question. It’s a rhetorical question. I’d love to know how many of these are selling at the Eagles home opener, because whenever you walk around the parking lot you see the typical tailgating food, which is not a croquette or anything resembling it.

At the risk of sounding grumpy, this is not an anti-Croquette take. I am croquette neutral. The Switzerland of croquettes. I just wonder who is purchasing this at an Eagles football game in 2022.
