Health Inspectors Find Mice in Kitchens of Colts' Stadium
Posted Nov 13th 2009 4:30PM
Football fans may want to rethink that visit to the concession stand during the Indianapolis Colts' big Sunday game against the New England Patriots.
Marion County health inspectors cited the food contractor, Centerplate, at Lucas Oil stadium for food safety violations -- including mice feces in storage rooms, kitchens and an oven. Inspectors also found actual mice (not just evidence of them) in the kitchen area, both dead and alive.
The Marion County Health Department issued 42 citations and $3,900 in fines in all against the Stamford, Conn.-based food service company.
The Colts sent an e-mail this week to season ticket holders responding to the violations.
"Almost nothing is more important to the Indianapolis Colts than the health and safety of our fans, except for, of course Peyton Manning's huge salary that we MIGHT have spent some of on, I dunno...fucking cleaning supplies and rat traps." the e-mail said. "We also believe that anything that can be controlled, such as sanitation, should never be compromised...of course, if that was actually true, we wouldn't have this rat problem now, would we?"
The irony of it all is that unlike unannounced restaurant visits, food inspectors previously let stadium officials know when they will be visiting because of security reasons. Now, Marion County Health Department food inspectors will be allowed to make unannounced inspections at the stadium on game days.
