Philadelphia Fans Bought - and Threw - Thousands of One Dollar Hot Dogs During Loss to Marlins
The Philadelphia Phillies hosted the Miami Marlins on Tuesday with the visiting team winning 8-4 on dollar hot dog night. That's right. For just one dollar, you could own your very own hot dog. It is a promotion that people absolutely love because, I mean, in this economy? Are you serious?
Anyway, the promotion was a huge hit. The Phillies announced a sellout with an attendance total of 43,444. And most of those people appeared to wait in very long lines to buy their very cheap Philly phranks.

Apparently, they sold 58,000 hot dogs were sold. That's 1.3 hot dogs per fan.
I love how it’s only the bottom of the third and they’re already at 30k hot dogs sold. #DollarDogNight #Phillies @Phillies pic.twitter.com/DMhnGQ3ufP

According to @SportsRadioWIP, 58,000 hot dogs were consumed tonight at Citizens Bank Park. That’s what happens when you have Dollar Dog Night. Holy frijoles.

Who knows how many of the hot dogs were actually consumed because by the end of the game a fair number of them were flying through the air.
Everyone's throwing hot dogs. The "here come the pretzels" moment has come to life. pic.twitter.com/T5eLBGVnUF

I’m disgusted to be a Phillies fan rn pic.twitter.com/dvanobG4rB
A sellout crowd throwing things during a loss. It's the perfect Philadelphia sports story.
