Fans Report Food Shortage at Stade de France During First NFL Game in Paris
Fans reported food shortages at the Stade de France during the NFL’s historic first regular-season game in Paris. Attendees took to social media during halftime to complain that concession stands inside the stadium had completely sold out of food.
“My sister’s friend at the #Steelers #Saints game in #Paris says the stadium allegedly ran out of food before the half. 👀,” one person said online.

In the game, Aaron Rodgers threw his 540th career touchdown pass to move into sole possession of third place on the NFL’s all-time list.
They went on to beat the Saints 16-10, thanks to Rodgers scrambling for a late first down that allowed them to bleed out the clock.
