There is some irony in that part. All you hear from Rags fans is how sh-tty Nassau is...yet it is the Garden THE MOST FAMOUS ARENA IN THE WORLD!!!!!! that literally has sh-t in its food areas.

Until you contract mad cow disease, of course.Ehhh....I just prefer to NOT think about how disgusting the food I'm eating and overpaying for is. So long as I don't see them making it without gloves or something I'm fine. Ignorance is bliss

Just another reason I avoid eating at arenas, overpriced and not safe to eat...

I just assume every place I go out to eat at isn't the cleanest. Since I've been doing it my whole life, obviously the results aren't too bad. Unless I'm growing my own food I'm trusting a lot of people along the way to place my foods safety above their own personal wants and needs. I don't think it's realistic that they're going to be as diligent looking after my food as they would their own. So since all food is going to be risky in some fashion, I can choose to eat any of them.
The rat excrement one at MSG is just scary

If you eat out in NYC you've probably eaten at a place with mouse crap everywhere. Heck, if you eat out in general you've probably been at a place with mice, rats, and/or roaches in the back.

You are probably right. I remember on FOX when they showed Gordon Ramsey visiting restaurants that were struggling and he helped them out, the conditions of some of them were disgusting

my favorite was the verizon center washington DC with 100% of vendors in violation. "Mice droppings, a critical violation in Washington, were found at at least 10 vendors."

If you're favorite movie is Ratatouille and you'd like a similar dining experience...think Madison Square Garden...

So true. While good restaurants won't have much of any of those three and definitely won't allow them to get in the food, every restaurant deals with those problems. If you are afraid to eat the food at the stadium, you shouldn't go out to eat anywhere.If you eat out in NYC you've probably eaten at a place with mouse crap everywhere. Heck, if you eat out in general you've probably been at a place with mice, rats, and/or roaches in the back.
