If you have Legends Suite seats... in the Legends Suite.

McDonald's across the street is 10x cheaper than the stadium's concessions. Other than that..I think there's a gross fried chicken place a few blocks south of the stadium...um...yeah I'd eat at home before coming. Or just focus on drinking.

There's a great Scottish place right across River Avenue from the stadium.

My honest answer is this:

It depends on what you want to spend and/or how important convenience is to you. The new restaurants in the stadium are good. Nothing spectacular. Is the cost worth the convenience? Up to you. The local bars are just that; local bars. Food is not their primary function but it's well enough.

I don't have Legends Suite tickets, but I've been several times. Considering buying them next year.

All food inside the stadium is pretty much by definition a bad deal, but the higher quality food is less offensively overpriced than the "cheap" stuff. I like the Lobell's steak sandwich. $16, around third base on the main level. Get plenty of napkins and a fork, they give you about 3x as much steak as the bun can hold.

Depends where you're coming from... Arthur Avenue is great for lunch/dinner.

You should, great value compared to Knicks/Yanks ticket prices. Especially since they will be honoring the all-inclusive food and non-alcoholic beverages. (Get the chicks a ring pop).

Yeah, I know. Almost did it this year but bought with a group, so I'll check it out next year. This year was about camaraderie.

Same here. I was very close to buying two seats in the Legends, but felt I would have to justify it somewhat by occassionally taking business folks instead of my kid, friends and fam, so ended up getting first row behind Legends. Maybe next season.

Depends on how long you're looking to eat. If you want a solid sit down restaurant there are a few options

 

[Kyle Levy]

But yes, Legends seats are amazing. Went 1 time but oh my god the food was phenomenal! And its all included!

Food is definitely great, but it ain't $120 per person great.

[Goodfella]

The food at Legends has declined since 2009 when the Yankees won the world series, but it's definitely one of the best or the best luxury suite in professional sports. They used to have these lobster rolls at every game that were so good. I would eat like one an inning. For NYC FC they won't have the full spread for Legends seat tickets, but it will still be good. As for the rest of the stadium:
