Watch carefully and you'll see orange peelings flying out the window, cookies passed across the seats, potato chips swallowed without being chewed first and thirst quenchers getting chugged down by dry mouths. Everyone knows what's happening. After a game, spectators cram fast food restaurants to redeem “‘free fries’’ tickets. But do they stop with fries?
