    I've only been to NRG once, and I didn't eat anything there.

    Last year, I took an out-of-state friend to Toyota Center, and it was probably the most depressing sports food experience I've had. Expensive and mediocre food even beyond most sports venues and worse than previous experiences at TC a few years ago, which weren't all that great in their own right. If I'd had known, I'd have figured out some plans for us to eat ahead of time, even if it was just me bringing sandwiches and us eating outside. Pretty embarrassing.

    The HTX grill downstairs usually has some good food. But yeah, most of the other stuff is not worth the calories nor the money.

    Wow. Houston has such an amazing, diverse food scene and this is the boring, overpriced garbage we serve in toyota center?

    How about some bomba*** al pastor tacos or maybe some banh mi, or why not even some sichuan or indian food??

    If it was me, I would partner up with a bunch of local restaurants, let them run their show and sell delicious food at reasonable prices. Of course, greedy a*** Tillman would never allow some local vendors to partner up and share in the profits.

    Tillman does not want to pay the Janitors OT for cleaning bathrooms after 20,000 people have spicy curry every game.

    Toyota Center food is absolute trash. I usually avoid eating there unless I am craving popcorn. Even the popcorn is trash though lol.

    Makes no sense, I've lived in NYC, LA, and New Orleans, and grew up in Houston, I still think we have some of the best fatty food on the planet and thats all that should be at a Stadium. How do you mess that up.

    I literally start planning where I will eat in November when I come home for Christmas

    That’s what the WARRIORS DID IN SF. But we don’t do that **** in Houston.

    Before you praise the Warriors too much, why don't you go look up their ticket prices and see how fans feel about them.

    (I agree that this would be a cool idea for food. But I will not stand idly by while someone praises the glory whores. :cool:)

    I hate the warriors but I’m not afraid to show someone respect when respect is due. If the warriors do something right I’m not gonna deny it. Bringing local food trunks and giving them a 2nd spot in arena 41 nights of the year isn’t a bad thing. Tilman can get a local taco truck or a local sandwich truck and have them have a concession, and get him the extra employees he needs for those 41 nights.
