Phillies Cancel Dollar Hot Dog Night Due to Unruly Fans Throwing Food onto Field

The Philadelphia Phillies' dollar hot dog night promotion is over, as reported by Dan Gelston of the Associated Press.

A combination of last year's food fight and logistical nightmares in the concourses led to the decision.

"It wasn't just the throwing," said John Weber, senior vice president, Phillies ticket operations and projects. "It's the concourse, the crowds of everybody being at the same X amount of stands. But obviously, you know, the throwing was a little bit of a tipping point."

Instead of consuming delicious dollar dogs, some fans decided to test their arms during the Phillies' 8-4 loss to the Miami Marlins on April 11, 2023.
