No doubt. One of the bartenders from smokestack said that patrons would come down on game days and just eat in the park as it opened 2 hrs early before games.

That is a really good point that I didn't consider. It is kind of an asshole move to push the development of that park as something that would help usher more business into the area just to turn around and make a huge initiative to highlight the food that's available inside the park like Wonder Bar pizza, Coney Island, BT's.

Outside of the stationary offerings, they also have the 'Taste of Worcester' rotating restaurant offering different local restaurants the opportunity to provide their food. Which, on the surface seems like a decent opportunity for local restaurants but screws over the Canal District places that shouldn't need to pay more for the opportunity to be seen after being sold on more foot traffic.
