No and yes. Union Station is a ways away. (2 stops on the Metrolink, IIRC.)

However, don't bring in cheap affordable vendors when they're already there. $5 for a plate of good spaghetti, and that's just one of the options. Just make sure that you go to the carts, NOT the stands. (And, make sure the carts are out--if anyone in FRC operations sees this, it would be a good idea to confirm that they will be out during the event.)

There are also a large number of places within a few minutes' walk. They range from fast food/subs all the way up to T.G.I. Friday's or better. Or send someone for pizza or something like that--there are some good places in a short radius.

I've been working on a writeup on the area around the America's Center for a little while now. Guess I better finish it up pretty quickly...
