Vendor inspection reports

The complete list of stadium health inspection summaries, sorted by state

By Paula Lavigne and Lindsay Rovegno

ESPN

The following list is culled from inspection reports for MLB, NBA, NHL and NFL venues in the United States and Canada operating in 2009. Results based on most recent routine inspections or equivalent of a full inspection. The score is based on the percentage of vendors in violation of health requirements.

North Carolina

Bank of America Stadium

Carolina Panthers

Vendors with critical violations: 55%

Inspection report excerpt: Inspectors witnessed employees at several locations improperly keeping personal drink cups near food prep and saw one worker eating from a fryer basket.

I heard that the Panthers have already hired a new food management company that is supposed to "fix" all this.

Time Warner Arena was worse than BOA I think and they released a statement saying they would look into it.

The news interviewed a guy (a fan) at the Intimidators game in Kannapolis about this and he said "If I pay a premium price of $5 for Nachos I expect it to be good and at least not make me sick." Found that humorous for some reason. I didn't kow Nachos had a premium price.

The majority of these kinds of violations happen at almost all restaurants. The difference is that most restaurants have the luxury of noticing when some stranger is wandering around their kitchen, so certain infractions, such as eating on the line or having your drink without a lid on, can be hidden for the time. Vendors at major venues don't have such luxury, an inspector can stand anywhere near the counter amongst hundreds of patrons and see almost everything going on inside the booth.

I wish it was that way everywhere. Being in the restaurant business I know what kind of things can go on and it makes you really think before you eat at a place. I always go to the bathroom and check it first. If its not clean then its time to go...

Why do you eat in the bathroom? :confused:

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
