Not to take anything at all away from this award, but with this quality of food being served in the suites, how difficult would it be to upgrade (even a little, little bit) the food offerings at concessions for the rest of us? Generally speaking, the food outside the stadium is better than anything inside. Cowpie cookies are abou the only thing worth waiting to get inside for!
