Food & Beverage 3

  

There are some specific liquor laws in Delaware that you may find unique. Alcohol can only be ordered at certain lines, and nobody under 21 can be in those lines even if they are just buying food or non-alcoholic beverages. They will need to use the food-only lines.

Neighborhood 3

Newark (pronounced here as New-Ark) is a great college town. There are numerous food options on East Main Street that will fill you up before or after a game.

Parking on East Main Street is always a bit of a problem. There are many public lots, but note that they may be behind buildings and hard to find. Many restaurants offer validation for the public lots.

If you do not want to fight for parking, head the opposite way from downtown Newark and towards the gigantic Christiana Mall area. Right before getting there is Border Cafe, designated only with a large “EAT” sign. Their large and varied menu offers great Tex-Mex & Cajun options at a pretty cheap price. Try the catfish fajitas with a side of jambalaya.

Numerous dining and lodging options are prevalent around the Christiana Mall area, although if in search of lodging, one should look at the Embassy Suites located across from the baseball stadium.

Around the corner from the arena, behind Rust Arena, is the campus-run UDairy Creamery. Stopping for a pre or post-game ice cream cone is a must.

Fans 4

The team is having a resurgence and the fans have been packing Delaware Stadium, often to capacity. The fans at Delaware Stadium know their football and expect big things out of their program. The two main grandstands, as well as the small general admission stand, are generally filled to just under capacity for most games, especially Parents & Family Weekend, Band Day, and Homecoming.

Final Thoughts

Gregory Koch – At one point, a Fightin’ Blue Hens game was one of the best experiences in FCS. The team would routinely sell out, or come close to it, and they were one of the top programs in the country. However, despite renovations to the stadium, attendance numbers have dropped off significantly, the team is no longer the dominating force it once was, and the fan experience has suffered for it. Although a visit to Delaware Stadium is still a decent experience, it is a pricey one for fans, and they should keep that in mind when determining whether to visit. It might behoove the team to lower prices a bit to increase value and draw more fans again.
