According to the USA Today, at least 13 MLB teams are offering all-you-can-eat seats for part of the 2008 season.

Ticket prices for these seats range from $30 at the low end with the Atlanta Braves to $200 at the high end with the St. Louis Cardinals. The majority fall within the $30-$55 range. Most teams include pre-cooked, easy-to-prepare ballpark fare such as hot dogs, nachos, peanuts and soft drinks but don’t include beer, burgers, pizzas and desserts.

The Padres, meanwhile, will offer an All-You-Can-Eat buffet, including burgers, hot dogs and soft drinks, with 180-250 seats on top of the Western Metal Supply Co. building in PETCO Park’s left field corner. The section will feature bleacher seats with an adjoining buffet/eating area.

Leave it to America to figure out a way to shove more food in your face at sporting events. And let me say for the record, that I personally love the idea.
