SAN FRANCISCO (KSBW) — A hot dog and beer at the ballpark are something of a staple, but maybe not nine times in one game.
Unless you can “mustard” enough courage and have a strong stomach.
It’s one of the newest attractions at Oracle Park this season. It’s called the “9-9-9” challenge.
The 9-9-9 Challenge Box costs $54.99, plus tax and tip, while buying nine beers and nine full-size hot dogs separately would cost more than $180 with tax and tip included.
The box includes nine mini hot dogs, nine small glasses estimated at 3 to 4 ounces each, and one tall can of Coors Light. There is not enough beer to fill all nine glasses to what most people would consider a standard pour. Even with each glass filled only about two-thirds full, the Coors Light ran out after the eighth glass, according to the SF Gate.
To sum it up, you must consume nine beers and nine hot dogs during a nine-inning baseball game.
It’s a new collaboration between Aramark Sports + Entertainment and competitive eating star Joey Chestnut.
The food flight includes nine beers and nine hot dogs with custom team packaging. It should also be worth noting that neither the drinks nor the hot dogs are a standard size, so that may make it easier to finish.
If you “relish” such an opportunity, you can give it a go at the Doggie Diner concessions stand in Section 121.
In addition to Oracle Park, it will be sold at five other Major League Baseball ballparks this season.
Citi Field (Willets Point Brewery)
Citizens Bank Park (Section 128)
Coors Field (Fanfare, Section 139)
Daikin Park (Crawford Dogs, Sections 109, 418)
Kauffman Stadium (Double Dip Hoagies, Section 247)
The challenge itself was first introduced at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia during the 2025 postseason but has come under fire for only using only one can of beer, which some even claim doesn’t fill all nine cups.
Some are even calling it more of a “one-inning challenge.” Even Giants broadcaster Dave Flemming is questioning the legitimacy.
Furthermore, an Arizona Diamondbacks farm team has even created a more “accurate” version of the challenge for the truly brave souls.
But if you do plan to take on the challenge, you must be 21 and up with a valid ID.
And hopefully, you come out a “wiener.”
