Report: Kauffman Stadium served old food during World Series

They love a good pre-game tailgate in Kansas City, both Royals fans and Chiefs fans. After a new report by ESPN's "Outside the Lines," it'll be hard to blame Kansas City sports fans if they only want to eat their own tailgate food from outside the stadium.

A manager from the concessions company that services both Kauffman Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium spilled dirty details to ESPN and the local health department about food violations going on at the stadiums, including during the World Series, when Royals' food stations allegedly sold expired food to fans.

Immediately after hearing the allegations, inspectors from the Kansas City Health Department found 37 violations that it deemed "critical," according to ESPN, including violations at 20 of 26 food stands. This inspection happened on Nov. 3, the day after a Chiefs game, and five days after Game 7 of the World Series.

Aside from the occasional beer or bag of peanuts, I avoid stadium food.

hardly ever buy food at games, anyway, but now I have even more of a reason not to (aside from the higher-than-normal prices).
