M O S T   C E N S O R E D P R E S S   R E L E A S E S O F   2 0 0 1   ( T H U S   F A R ) . - - - - Major League Munchies To Be Served on Opening Day - - - - BUFFALO, N.Y., March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to snacking at the ballpark this season, Major League Baseball fans will certainly be piling it on. Food and sports always have gone hand in hand and if projections are correct, major league baseball's opening day across the country should be no different with record numbers of ballpark favorites being consumed by hungry fans. For Sportservice Corporation, the pioneer of food concessions at sporting events for more than 85 years, baseball means big business. As the food and beverage provider at seven major league ballparks, Sportservice offers a wide variety of options from the tried-and-true basics -- hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, peanuts, sausages and nachos -- to health conscious items of salads, garden burgers, fruit cups, and grilled chicken sandwiches to gourmet fare such as grilled tenderloin, sushi, toasted ravioli, quesadillas, freshly baked pies, cakes and tortes, all washed down with micro-brewed beer, cappuccinos and lattes. Whether it's at Cleveland's Jacobs Field, Milwaukee's Miller Park, Dallas's The Ballpark in Arlington or St. Louis's Busch Stadium, most fans stick to the belt-opening, nap-inducing kind of fare that goes together with baseball like ... a hot dog and a frothy, cool beverage. Starting Monday, April 2, Sportservice expects to sell a total of: -- 140,000 hot dogs -- 260,000 cups of beer -- 32,250 servings of nachos -- 145,500 cups of soda -- 45,500 sausages (12,000 alone in Milwaukee's Miller Park) -- 23,000 pounds of peanuts -- 16,500 slices of pizza -- 9,000 bags of popcorn -- 6,500 hamburgers -- 12,500 orders of French fries Sportservice Corporation, one of the nation's leading food, beverage and retail management companies, has operations in more than 50 professional sporting venues and entertainment complexes across the United States and Canada. The company is the foodservice provider at MLB venues including Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Jacobs Field in Cleveland, Cinergy Field in Cincinnati, Comiskey Park in Chicago, The Ballpark in Arlington in Texas, SkyDome in Toronto, and Milwaukee's Miller Park. In addition, Sportservice operates at 13 minor league baseball and spring training ballparks. SOURCE Sportservice Corporation     MORE MOST CENSORED PRESS RELEASES OF 2001
