Which is better? Which is the favorite in town? Can some Clevelanders please write in and tell me what Mustard You like best?
According to Irene Dever who sells both from her stall in the West Side Market, the difference between the mustards is that Stadium has cayenne. So the Browns like it spicy, huh? Well, not only the Browns, Stadium Mustard gets around. I'm trying to locate a complete list of stadiums/arenas where SM is served. Here are some things I can tell you...
Ballpark: since 1925, 16oz container, kosher, 10 calories per 1 teaspoon (little sugar in there)
Stadium: 50+ years old, 12oz container, 5 calories per 1 teaspoon, no sugar
$2.50 from Irene Dever
$2.39 from Giant Eagle...but you already know the West Side Market is so worth the trip
Honestly, I've only opened a Ballpark since returning home. but I plan to have a Mustard v Mustard tasting soon. stay tuned.

No kosher certification on Stadium Mustard.

Is Stadium Mustard kosher as well?

Bertman's Ballpark Mustard is the original recipe once sold at League Park and Municpal Stadium under the name Bertman's Stadium Mustard. There was a rift amongst the ownership and eventually Joe Bertman's daughter got the rights to the original recipe which is sold under the Bertman's Original Ballpark Mustard label in stores and at Jacobs Field. The other group kept the name Stadium Mustard and also sells their product in stores as well as at Cleveland Browns Stadium. I have tasted both next to each other many times and there is no comparison: Bertman's is the better. Stadium Mustard is good too, but not special. It tastes more like a regular brown mustard. But don't take my word for it -- buy a bottle of both and see for yourself.

my family (siblings and parents) are split down the middle after a two finger tasting. I, however, am partial to ballpark.
