Sports venues are leaving money on the table due to long concession lines that scare away fans, according to new research from Oracle.
The software giant released a survey showing 45 percent of sports fans have abandoned concession lines at least once in the last year because the wait was too long. It's an issue that ticket buyers desperately want to see fixed. On average, U.S. fans said they would be willing to spend an additional $20 for food and beverages if wait times were cut in half. That would reflect a 42 percent increase in the usual amount spent at concessions.

Alongside the best burgers in America as well as our best fried chicken and best BBQ, franks are one of the most representative foods of the red, white and blue. It should come as no surprise, then, that most corners of the country are crowded with top-quality spots that make choosing America's best hot dogs a challenge: from simple-but-satisfying griddled links with a simple swipe of mustard to custom-made wild game sausages loaded with house-pickled vegetables, hot dog aficionados from Seattle to New York can find satisfaction.
