Irrelevant. Dude said he was at the stadium for lower grades, well before first grade, and as such wanted to have something to eat in his seat. Should not be too much to ask for a venue of that calibre. Absolutely unacceptable that story he posted and would not happen at any other ground.
Piss off...
ANZ is by far the best stadium in Sydney in regards to catering. If you want something a bit high quality than you head over to one of the fast food joints and bring it in or you hang out at the pub beforehand, but you are absolutely wrong when you say "[It] would not happen at any other ground". These stories are what you should expect to experience when you head out to a suburban ground. That Penrith story; im surprised it was up to date with last seasons prices!!! head out to Leichhardt, Brooky, Parra, Campbeltown or any one of the the 10+ crappy little grounds NRL is played at and youll come away with a similar tale...
If you want a good game day experience for the whole family (not just 50yo single guys longing for the days of muddy fields and bloody players), you need to play in places like the SFS and ANZ; high quality amenities that will keep you dry when its wet, in the shade when its hot and comfortable whenever.
And i know the basic response to this, "ANZ has shitty views and poor atmosphere and the SFS has crappy amenities, and they both have bad public transport. Waaaa!!!", but thats because neither of these have been touched since they were first built. If the NRL was to commit fully to these (and similar) stadiums, then all of their energy would be directed at making these few stadiums world class, rather than each team trying to make their own little 1960 ground suck slightly less....
