It's a shame younger fans will never get to experience the pre-glitz baseball game experience. I started off going to games at the Astrodome in the 1960's, and at the time our scoreboard was the hugest anywhere. Even that was obnoxious. I was at the game where they unveiled their next scoreboard - also the hugest anywhere. I remember Omar Moreno playing right field that day - he turned around to watch the first scoreboard replay ever, which was him trotting lazily after a ball that was hit by him. The beginning of the end.
As far as food goes, you went to the ball game to have a burger or hotdog, and peanuts...maybe french fries. You didn't expect, or need, anything else. That was baseball game food and anything else would have been sacrilege.
