Hope springs eternal that this is the year the food at Kauffman Stadium will be good enough to make you forget about what's happening on the field for a while. Opening day is tomorrow for the Kansas City Royals, and the fans in the stands will have a few new options and the opportunity to vote for a new permanent addition to the stadium menu.
If your heart isn't in the All-Star balloting (the All-Star Game won't be in Kansas City until 2012), perhaps you can get excited by voting on sandwiches. Aramark has introduced two new sandwiches: the Royal Pork T and the KC Ribeye Stack. Sales through June 26 and fan votes (online voting continues through July 5) will determine which sandwich is on the menu for the entire season.

Abe - The problem is that the food is gross now. Used to be great. They've had that Ribeye Stack in the past. It sounded so good when I ordered it. It's the opposite of good.
Baseball is American. Eating ridiculous food is American. I don't see the problem here. Fried pork tenderloin topped with fried pickles? AH MER I CAH!
What used to be a huge positive at the games is now a major negative, with Aramark in charge of concessions now. The food took a turn for the worse, and I always eat before heading to the ballpark now.
They previously had a popcorn bucket a couple years ago, but I think refills only worked on Sunday. I still remember my visit to the bathroom that afternoon after drinking three stouts and sitting in 90 degree heat while mowing down that bucket. Oh, the horror.
