Have they stayed away the first 2 games because of the weather or have they been evicted ? I honestly cannot buy the concessions inside the arena at those ridiculous prices...

I fucking hate the new metrofanatic layout !!!!

I see no ads inside for the taco truck, so I am guessing that relationship went away.

You should consider those first two years as a gift. Now pay more.

Heard Taco Truck will be driving down Frank Rodgers and Market St on some gamedays. I think some of the Viking guys know more as they have a relationship with Taco Truck.

Taco Truck had responded to someone's tweet on the day of the home opener basically saying they wouldn't be back at RBA this season. Why? Not sure, but I imagine it all has to do with senor Heck.

I'm surprised the Portuguese/Brazilian grill outside the stadium isn't back. That thing always made a killing and was well worth the $8-$10 on a sandwich/rodizo platter.

We may not have the best team in the MLS, but we sure have the best pregame food/beverage options in the USA!!!!

I lived in South Florida many years ago, and the Orange Bowl hosted many soccer matches (many smaller CONCACAF nations would play there as their stadiums would not meet FIFA standards) and the best part was parking in the local neighborhood and buying food from the local families who were cooking/grilling in their front yards....Cuban, Jamacian, Haitian food.......only place in the USA I could get grilled goat, plantain, and ice cold Polar pregame!!

Is it me, or he seriously trying to be the most HATED sports executive in the NYC area? The food trucks in front of the arena were just brilliant. I want to give him a free pass or two for the things he's done, but for the moment, I just can't. And the sad part is, I currently don't have a reason to. Am I the only STH who feels this way?

Ora e per sempre. Forza Metro!!!
