Where Gillette Stadium, Fenway Park, and TD Garden rank in regards to food safety

Concessions at Gillette Stadium rank among the best in terms of health and safety, according to a study conducted by ESPN’s “Outside the Lines.”

In a review of over 16,000 routine food-safety inspection reports from 2016 and 2017, ESPN discovered that at 27 percent of professional sports venues, more than half of the food service outlets incurred a high-level violation. Per ESPN, a high-level violation is “one that poses a potential threat for foodborne illness” and falls into the following six categories: temperature, employee-related issue, pests/bugs, poor condition of food, equipment failure or problem, and other.
