Inside The Stadium:
The Q is not exactly the most pristine stadium, but to be fair, it IS over 40 years old. The aisles and seats may be a bit tight if you don't have club seats, bathroom lines will be long, and concourses will be hard to navigate through especially during halftime, but at least you'll never experience a game in weather like that of say, a New England home game. Another plus - since it's a smaller stadium, sightlines are pretty great from any seat.
Food and Drink:
The best variety of food is no doubt found on the Plaza Level, which is the level you enter when you walk through the gates.
There are 2 restaurants - Murphy's on the Plaza Level near Gate F which is more of a sports bar, and The Endzone Club on the Loge Level near Section 21. Both of these are open to the public.
There are a few decent concessions scattered about - we like Tortilla Junction (one on Plaza and one on Loge levels) as well as Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ (Plaza Sec 20) - one of our barbecue joints. California pizza franchise Oggi's has a few stands scattered throughout too. Gluten-Free foods can be found at a cart on the Plaza Level, Sec 10, and Veggie Burgers are offered at Flip Side Grill stands. Check the map for specific locations.
New to 2011 is a food truck area on the Field Level near gate L. There are plenty of great options here (even for vegetarians), and we definitely recommend stopping by if you can make your way through the crowd. During halftime, there will be a live band playing in this area as well.
Yes, the beer will be expensive - around $9 for a domestic draft, but that's just the way it is at sports stadiums. On the Field Level near any of the Gate entrances, is where you will find the best variety of beer. First and Goal near Gate C has beer on tap like Shock Top, Stella, and Bass, and there's a couple Craft on Draft stands also on the Field Level if you want a brew with a little more flavor. The Red Zone on the Loge has a full bar and you can find wine at a few places like Bud Brew House (one on Loge and one on View Levels) Just a head's up: No alcohol will be served in the 4th quarter. Alcohol is also not allowed in View Level Sections 54-58, Rows 5-26 as it's the designated Family Section.
Rumor has it that after the game the concessions stands do fire sales at some exits where everything is $1 until they sell out, so keep an eye out if you're still hungry post-game.
