PHILADELPHIA — Dollar hot dog nights at Philadelphia Phillies games are now a thing of the past.
The Associated Press reports the team has stopped the promotion because of unruly fan behavior.
A statement from the team said the change was “based on the organization’s ongoing commitment to provide a positive experience for all fans in attendance.”
AP reports that some fans threw their hot dogs during a game last season, throughout the stands and onto the field.
Several fans were ejected after sending franks flying through the air.
Cramped spaces from long lines to get hot dogs also led to security and safety concerns, AP reports.
Dollar dog nights for Phillies fans have been replaced with a two-for-one deal for two April games.
The Pirates don’t plan on taking these deals away from fans anytime soon.
Six $1 hot dog nights are scheduled for the upcoming season in Pittsburgh.
