I'd say twenty-three miller lites are the bare minimum needed to make baseball enjoyable.

    What do you need to pre-game to make the Miller Lites enjoyable?

    Baseball is the socially acceptable background noise for sitting in public and drinking beer, tbf

    Back when I used to drink beer, I never understood lite beer. It's just beer with added carbonated water. I preferred drinking 1 normal beer vs swilling down 2 or 3 lite beers like a lot of my friends did.

    If you buy it at a grocer, the IPA is actually cheaper for the alcohol you get now too. It's like 2x strength. 18 bucks, 20 out the door for a 15 or 12 pack, when a thirty pack of light beer or a case is like 30 bucks to 25 or so.

    And the IPA actually tastes good to boot.

    Ballpark dogs also help.

    Unnecessary tangent: the main thing that makes them so good* is that they wrap them in foil before handing them to you, letting the bun heat up and steam a bit. You could microwave a cheap bun for a few seconds at home and get the same experience while saving several dollars. Or grill/toast it for one that blows ballpark dogs out of the water.

    * Besides cooking them well enough, which most people don't do because the perfect hot dog takes multiple times longer than the instructions say. Simply heating them through isn't enough - blistered is better!

    You can also (lightly) score them down their length before cooking for more surface area (the cuts will pop open during cooking) and a firmer texture. Even one line makes a huge difference in how they come out.

    It's basically the same thing as that spiral cut technique that was going around a while back, but doesn't need a skewer and requires a hundredth the effort.

    I haven't been to Dodgers, but they have a reputation for being a pretty terrible hotdog due to the sponsor being mediocre.

    On the flip side, all of the Chicago stadiums are sponsored by the best in the business, Vienna.

    When I was more directly involved in lower-scale hotdog slinging, we'd get a similar result by holding the buns in a steam table, making them warm and fluffy. Boil a pack of hotdogs, finish them on the grill... A boil-grilled Vienna 6" 6:1 on an S. Rosen (Alpha Baking) 5" bun with diced onion, celery salt, mustard, and ketchup... Perfection.

    Pretty much everywhere in the Chicago region uses the exact same hotdog bun you can get in every grocery store here. Most stores don't carry the poppyseed variant though.
