The Yorder app is perhaps the greatest app ever invented for sports fans. The app lets you order and pay for food from your any seat in the stadium using only your cellphone. Did I mention that your food is also delivered to you?!
The app provides the list of all the food available in the park along with its pricing. Simply select your food and pay a one dollar service and you are on your way to enjoying a seven dollar hot dog.The Yorder app eliminates the need for beer runs and ensures that you will never, ever miss a crucial play due to a nagging need for a hotdog or a bag of peanuts.
My only knock against the Yorder app is that it is only available for use at Buck Shaw Stadium, home of the San Jose Earthquakes of the MLS. Real sports need the Yorder app and they need it now.
