Fall is feast season in sports. Basketball, football, baseball, soccer, and more are in full swing, but the real stadium MVPs might be the ones serving up delectable dishes — because let’s be honest, you can’t rally for your team on an empty stomach. So, let’s dig into the best eats in sports.

Our pals at Yelp released their top 50 list of can’t-miss stadiums eats last week — and their findings are as intriguing as a birria egg roll (more on that later).

1️⃣ Sports fans want to taste a city’s local flair. Stadium staples like hot dogs are literally everywhere. In-house menus that speak to the local cuisine set venues apart. Lob-stah in Boston? Now that’s what the people came for.

2️⃣ Multi-sport venues deliver all year. Chase Center, home of the WNBA’s Golden State Valkyries and NBA’s Warriors, is upping the ante, from the NBA’s first vegan restaurant to the famous buttermilk chicken sandwich. Practice makes perfect, after all.

3️⃣ Women’s stadiums are stepping up. Look no further than CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, aka the first sports venue built specifically for a women’s pro team. Local vendors are only the beginning: Most of the menu is gluten-free and allergy-free. Yep, women just do it better.

The GIST HQ houses food connoisseurs and sports experts alike — so without further ado, here’s a curated list of North America’s best stadium eats (The GIST’s version).

🏅 THE CROWD PLEASER: Citi Field (NY Mets, MLB)

Why it wins: The Mets might be in the midst of a 30-year pennant drought, but their stadium food absolutely slaps. That’s what happens when you employ a Michelin-starred pastry chef. Not only did they add 37 items to their top-tier menu this season, but classic faves like the pastrami nachos endure.

• ⭐ Bonus points for a highly-rated allergy section. Everyone enjoys tasty ballpark treats here.

🍽️ Our top pick: The Korean fried chicken…and the kimchi reuben…and the French dip sandwich.

🏅 MOST CREATIVE FUSION: Petco Park (San Diego Padres, MLB)

Why it wins: The birria egg roll screams cross-cultural sensation, and word on the street is it’s worth the hype. There are plenty of other bites that call back to San Diego’s famous food scene, from the fresh ceviche and fish tacos to the shortstop and s’mores pretzel. Already salivating.

🍽️ Our top pick: Don’t quote us, but it might be illegal in California to go to Petco Park and not order the viral birria egg roll.

🏅 BEST VALUE: Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta Falcons, NFL)

Why it wins: The hot dogs, pretzels, and popcorn are $2, and the cheese nachos are $3. If you have a little wiggle room in the budget, splurge for the $12 lemon-pepper wings or peach cobbler funnel cake fries. Football with a side of affordability? Talk about a touchdown.

🍽️ Our top pick: At these prices, you can do dinner and dessert. *winks*

🏅 MOST UNDERRATED: First Horizon Stadium (North Carolina Courage, NWSL)

Why it wins: Two words: Food trucks. In addition to four brick-and-mortar stands, a rotating lineup of food trucks always parks at the venue’s pre-match Fan Fest. When it comes to gameday eats, there’s nothing better than options, from acai bowls to Aussie meat pies. Delish.

🍽️ Our top pick: Gonza Tacos, because tacos are always the right choice.
