I would think that time to eat would be determined by game time. Backing from 7:30 game. Arrive at field half an hour before game time - 7:00 Allow 15 minutes to half an hour drive time - 6:30. Allow an hour and a half to eat (large party plus some time to digest - brings me to 5:00.

Parking in the downtown area may be a hassle. I might aim for something further away, along an interstate, in a shopping center. You could also eat earlier that way. May be of benefit to players.

I too will go with Kim Son. Parking is also easy. If looking for burgers etc. then The Grove (a little pricey than Kim Son). I cannot recall if Grove validates parking - I think they do have valet. Both are about a mile away from the stadium.

I will add Kim Son to the list of suggestions. Since everyone is coming into downtown at different times, I thought it would be best if we ate there as opposed to somewhere along the way. The girls aren't playing, just going to watch a game with team mates and families. Thank you, everyone, for your comments.

Hi,

We ate at Kim Son recently, and were just not impressed; food was bland and off temperature.

Maybe Niko Niko's would work?

Amazing gyros, fries, Greek platters with moussaka (Greek mac n cheese!) and spinach pie, chicken souvlaki, and more. The portions are very big, and you can easily share. I think the teens would especially like it! They also have Greek desserts.

Hope you all have a great time at the game!

I like Niko Niko's, too.

Phonecia has a grocery deli and a sit down restaurant. You can eat your grocery deli purchases at tables and booths on site. Lots of variety
