The NFL's inaugural game on French soil has left a bitter aftertaste for many attendees, as the stadium ran out of food before halftime.

Spectators were spotted in lengthy lines at concession stands, only to discover that every food item had sold out just 60 minutes into the game. Popcorn was the sole remaining option, and it sold out by halftime.

A crowd of 80,000 fans packed the Stade de France to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the New Orleans Saints, with many hoping the game would not go into overtime - potentially leaving them without food for the next two hours. Elsewhere on Sunday, Mike Tomlin got brutally honest with Aaron Glenn and the New York Jets after the team's latest defeat.

In conversations with fans inside the stadium, a Mirror U.S. Sports reporter broke the news about the food shortage to one attendee, who responded: "There's no food left? It's half-time! I was excited about getting something. Are they still selling beer?"

Alcohol sales at concession stands appeared to remain unaffected, with fans continuing to return to their seats carrying beers. The Mirror U.S. Sports reached out to the NFL for an official statement.

Pittsburgh Steelers supporter Mark summed up the situation bluntly: "Yeah, they've got nothing! Not a crumb! Real well prepared here!"

A Saints employee expressed disbelief, stating: "I have never heard of anything like that. We make a lot of money from selling food throughout the game!"

NFL franchises routinely generate upwards of $1 million per game from concession sales, making the Stade de France's lack of preparation a costly oversight. The press box was also depleted of food supplies, leaving many puzzled about the situation. Stadium staff acknowledged they had no food inventory remaining.

The matchup between the Steelers and Saints drew approximately 80,000 spectators, many of whom traveled across the Atlantic to watch their teams compete in the French capital.

This marks France's inaugural NFL game hosting and what will likely be regarded as a significant organizational failure, with numerous fans expressing dissatisfaction.
