So what changed in the last 40 years? A more affluent class of fan attending games? People more accustomed to eating meals later in the evening? Greater value (and discretionary spending) placed on food and drink than in the past?

It’s just a shift in society in general isn’t it? People used to make and eat nearly every meal at home, going out for dinner once every week perhaps. Now people eat out more and if people eat at home, they don’t always make at home, hence the growth of delivery services ne takeaway options. Even if people make from home, there are now the meal in a box options.
