The Philadelphia Flyers challenge fans to eat three cheesesteaks and three orders of fries in a single game
The 9-9-9 Challenge is taking baseball by storm, and I figured it was only a matter of time before other sports found their own ways to throw obscene amounts of stadium food in fans’ faces.
The Philadelphia Flyers responded to that call in a big way.

In the 9-9-9 Challenge, fans ate nine hot dogs and nine beers in nine innings, while the Flyers began their postseason career at home with the Philly Hat Trick Challenge. This leaves voracious fans with three Philly cheesesteaks and three fries in three periods of the game.

And if you want to finish it off with a pint, I bet they won’t say anything.
Now part of my brain (probably the caveman/neanderthal part) thinks I can put the 9-9-9 Challenge to rest with the right tempo.
But are you going to throw back three orders of cheese steak and three fries in the two and a half hours it takes to play a hockey game?

I’m not so sure.
But I’d still give it the old college try.

The best part about this deal is the price: $45.
Good luck getting three sandwiches and fries for that in another arena.

I’m not sure how strict people are about entering this challenge with a full three-person team. But if you can pull it off, this is the move if you’re at a game with your family or a few friends.
Now that the Flyers have done this, I wonder if any team will follow suit in the near future.

I could see Chicago offering a hat trick of Italian meat sandwiches (I think they call them “afternoon snacks” there). Perhaps the Yildirim would let brave, hungry fans test their mettle against three Cuban sandwiches.
All in all, I like where this is going, because there’s something about competitive gluttony for the love of the game and nothing else.
