-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
WITH ANOTHER BASEBALL-SEASON GETTING UNDER WAY, THE NATIONAL HOT
DOG AND SAUSAGE COUNCIL HAS JUST RELEASED ITS 2012-REPORT ON "MAJOR
LEAGUE"-BALLPARKS. THE SURVEY PROJECTS THAT AMERICANS WILL CONSUME
MORE THAN 20-MILLION HOT-DOGS AT GAMES THIS SEASON--AND THAT THE
BALLPARKS WILL ALSO SELL MORE THAN FIVE-MILLION SAUSAGES.
ERIC MITTENTHAL [AS IN "ALL"] IS A COUNCIL-SPOKESPERSON…
(MITTENTHAL):
"HOT-DOGS AND
SAUSAGES ARE THE ULTIMATE STADIUM COMFORT-FOOD. FROM A FAN'S
PERSPECTIVE, THEY'RE BOTH RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE AND EASY TO CONSUME IN
THEIR SEAT. ALSO, THE VARIETY OF HOT-DOGS THAT ARE BEING OFFERED
AT STADIUMS, THIS YEAR, TRULY STANDS OUT: WE COUNTED MORE THAN
500-MILLION TOPPING-COMBINATIONS AVAILABLE. THERE ARE SO
MANY UNIQUE OPTIONS THAT FANS CAN JUST GO TO THE GAME FOR THE
HOT-DOGS--AND SKIP THE BASEBALL--IF THEY WANT."
(CLOSE):
ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, "RANGERS BALLPARK IN ARLINGTON" LEADS ALL
STADIUMS THIS YEAR--AND IS PROJECTED TO SERVE ABOUT ONE-POINT-SIX-MILLION
HOT-DOGS, OVER THE COURSE OF THE SEASON. "CITIZENS BANK PARK"
AND "FENWAY PARK" BOTH COME IN SLIGHTLY BEHIND. LAST YEAR'S
NUMBER-ONE, "DODGER STADIUM", IS NUMBER-FOUR THIS YEAR--FOLLOWED BY
"YANKEE STADIUM", IN FIFTH. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT
