Adding Places in Sports Arenas

Is there a protocol for adding a beer place inside a professional sports arena? I am going to Progressive Field for a baseball game, and in my research have found there are multiple breweries inside the field. From what I can tell, none are in the database yet. Is it because they are unrateable? If so, why? Should I add them? Are there other fields or arenas I can look at for how they should be added?

Thanks for the help!

Certainly there are some bars that have been added in sports arenas: http://www.ratebeer.com/p/red-porch-and-loft-bar-and-patio/46300/

Strange that multiple breweries aren’t in the database. While you’re there, see if the staff (probably a manager) knows where their beers are brewed, a random guess would be that they’re contract brews by a known brewery. Of course Google might come up with a chain of origin, I’m sure you’ve tried that.

Like airports and cruise ships, sports arenas are a beer venue category unto themselves. Since beer is served, we should be covering this. But it is a constantly evolving environment and will need the attention of a lot of admins. Detailed site/place verification looks like a bitch. I’ll defer to Joet and Oakes on this one as site resources seem stretched as it is.

Should be added as far as I know. It’s another place where you can find beer and the information would be very helpful.

Of course it should ... mainly an American domain, re: interesting beer in a sporting arena, but I added a venue in an English Rugby ground a few years back that carries 5 or 6 hot cask lines !

Afaik, any place that serves or sells craft beer is eligible for inclusion.

Interesting.

Unlike allot of the bigger major sporting venues in the UK, there is some good beer being served in bars in quite a few sporting venues I visit in London that will check up on and maybe add on next visit.

At Selhurst Park we always have The Kernel, and local brewer Cronx (plus some others)

Over at Champion Hill, (Dulwich Hamlet FC) they been rotating among others... Beavertown/Partizan/Four Pure/Brick/Late Knights/Gipsy Hill/Orbit/Canopy - (we always play them in Summer Pre-season friendlies) so looking forward to a visit this year hopefully)

Perhaps I worded that poorly. The breweies in there are established breweries that just have an extra location in the arena (Great Lakes, Fat Heads, The Brew Kettle).

Safeco Field sure deserves a place on the site. I had three beers there the other day. A dry hopped cask IPA, A berliner weisse, and a porter.
