Because most people are sheep and just follow what they see. I'm usually the only one around me that does it at the proper time.

the quality of food and service at the stadium (actually at most stadiums) so I'm rarely disappointed.
To be honest, I try not to buy any food inside the stadium, just drinks. Have snacks ready in the car then stop to eat on the way home.

coke and fries, why can't that be handled as professionally as it is at a Panthers game or a Falcons game? The tickets cost the same...What happened to Best is Standard? Why don't they even try? They sell fries at the basketball games and LJ doesn't even have a fryer, they cook them off site and hot box them...Making good food fast is not that difficult...The issue is the general lack of concern

Call me crazy, but why are you expecting gourmet food at a concession stand? If you want good food, bring it to your tailgate and eat it before and/or after the game. Why people have to have something to eat during the game boggles my mind.

would be nice...I'd like to see a little bit of Tiger pride in the Concessions area, it's not like I am asking for pheasant under glass...Maybe just don't put your thumb on the inside rim of my $8 coke and quit refrying the ffs.

Girl taking our money needed a calculator to add a $4 hotdog + a $6 cheeseburger that ended up having a crunchy bun.
Not to mention a warm $4 bottle of water. Concessions could definitely use improvement.

Charging $4 for a bottle of water (cold or hot) is appalling

You can buy a whole case of water at BiLo for $4. They make their money back from one sale. Ridiculous.

Was the $1 bottled water just a special for the first game or something? When it was $4 at the Auburn game I thought maybe it was because the first game was at noon and they expected the sun to be hot and they wanted to cut us a deal on water.
But Saturday was hotter for sure.
Or maybe they just did it for everyone in the upper deck that spent an hour+ in line trying to get into the stadium that first game?
Did anyone else notice the bottled water was only $1 the first game? Or did I happen to walk up to a concession stand that was running some sort of secret special?

hahaha! If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed my friend when she told me. But sure enough that first game, we got 2 ice cold dasani bottled waters for $1 each, unopened I might add
Also - I have never set foot in that stadium and don't plan to. If I ever do, send help because I've been kidnapped.

for $1 because it was so hot.
Didn't someone say you were allowed to take one unopened bottle of water into the stadium last year? Does that also apply this year?

If your not taking in your own water in the bottom of your wife's clear plastic bag, then see me in section D and I'll sell you a couple of bottles for $3 each and you'll be saving $2!

My husband and I haven't had any issues walking in with unopened water bottles this year. I've seen other people around us do the same thing as well.
1 bottle of water is not enough for me for an entire game after drinking all day though. I still always have to buy at least one.

Have you tried that? Maybe it was just the first game, but the water coming out of the fountain was AWFUL and hot. I haven't attempted it since, and will happily pay $4 for cold water.

[ in reply to Re: Most appalling from Saturday ? ] |

an unopened bottle in this year. Either folks complained about not being able to take theirs in, or security didn't stop it. So i guess the trade off was if you are going to bring in water, we are jacking up the price.

Went to a Clemson/FSU game years ago. 4:00 start, 1st of September. Hotter than blazes.
Ran out of water at half time. Couldn't ever figure that one out
Run out of water that you're making $3.50 per bottle profit. Not like it goes bad

We did have a palling back in the day, but he played baseball. Come to think of it, he may have played around the time Spiers dad was playing. (baseball and football)
