Question: Eating Away the Innings in Baseball's Cheap Seats Baseball and gluttony, two of America's favourite pastimes, are merging, with Major League Baseball stadiums offering all-you-can-eat seats. Some fans try to "set personal records" during their first game, but by the third time in such seats they eat normally
What conflict might exist between utility maximization and setting "personal records" for eating? What does the fact that fans eat less at subsequent games indicate about their marginal utility from ballpark food as they consume more?
