Not a good look for the spectrum center.... Especially two months before they host NBA all star weekend

I'll take mine to go.

>>>>>>"surrounding community for the 82 venues for which comparison data were available. Among those, 73 performed better than or as well as the community average, while nine performed worse."<<<<<

Eating away from home can be hazardous - for that matter - absent health inspections - some of us may have some "violations" at home.
I guess I'm troubled by this article - I mean - what's the point? If you were served a green hamburger bun, would social media be the forum for resolution of your complaint?

I'll go without it--don't in or take out. I'm beginning to believe eating out is a crap shoot. (pun in tended) If you keep a journal of eating out and the day after results, you'd be surprised they aren't all stomach flu!

Their food costs too much anyway.

The food may be full of pathogens and too expensive, but at least they're vigilant about not letting you bring your own.

Looks like that particular Spectrum is Mark Cubans/Dallas Mavs venue? - he is the mouthy guy know-it-all guy on Shark Tank. Made the "Three Worst" list.

JORDY: says s.t. like "I'll take mine to go." Good one - still chuckling

No... unfortunately the Spectrum Center is in Charlotte

The list is a bad look for the NC teams..... all in the top 11 worst

TRIAD: Remembering the old Spectrum in Philly, decided to take another look at this roach and slime issue. NOW it looks to me like Mark Cubans venue IS on the list of the three worst, though as you said, it is NOT the Charlotte-based Spectrum; seems it is the American Airlines sports arena in Dallas. Are we on same page now on this?

Well Cuban will probably put blame on the NHL franchise which shares the venue

TRIAD: No doubt on that! Say, you're a pretty smart guy for a waiter! Should add that my closest high school friend played basketball for the Blue Devils - talented. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Certain standards must be upheld!

Somehow it is fitting that a guy named Scoop posts about bad food!
