    I would say.....take your food!!! You are not going to find anything good for you at the games...Now...if you have the calorie room and want to have something...go for it....

    But if you are looking for healthy.....stay away from everything but the water!!!!

    if you have calories left over, why not? Otherwise, if you are really worried, google (or plug into the food diary) the ones you think you would be interested in for the nutritional values.

    Eat before the games, bring snacks and avoid the concession stand like the plague!!

    I agree with here. Nothing that you can get at games is going to be all that good for you. Bring snacks with you or eat before you go. If you have room and calories left over, then got for it.

    Yes, eat before, pack snacks, and then look for the local calorie options at the stand if/when you want. Sometimes they have diet coke and hot pretzles. Sometimes a popcylce that is not too bad. That's about it unless you want to spend some serious calories. In my experience, the serious calorie burning is better done elsewhere. Stands don't have the best pizza or fries, they are just conveniently located.

    Yep, take your own snacks. Although, I'm violating that rule tomorrow. Going to a baseball game, and it just isn't baseball without a hot dog at the park. I'll allow for it in my calories, though, and get in some extra excercise to account for it.
