Among the problems encountered Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway as the MLB Speedway Classic was suspended until Sunday because of rain: Many fans complained that the venue ran out of many food items at concession stands, and Fox Sports host Kevin Burkhardt made mention of it during the broadcast.
Before Sunday’s resumption, WSB-TV’s Alison Mastrangelo tweeted that a gas station near the speedway had a line of Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds fans buying food and drinks to bring into the game with them, adding that fans were allowed to do so because concessions ran out Saturday night.
Georgia lawyer Lester Tate, a former head of the state bar of Georgia and head of Judicial Qualifications Commission, referred to the Bristol game as “the MLB version of Fyre fest.”
