Concession Costs...Wow

I usually will get a souvenir cup or two each year and that is all I buy. Atlanta has proven you can be reasonable on you concessions and still make money.

This past year was the first time (and the last) I bought a pretzel. I'm pretty sure it was cardboard with salt sprinkled on top of it.

The burger is below average too. They should be embarrassed that they’re selling it for $15

Im more concerned about how we went from the worlds largest surplus of oil in human history created by the pandemic/shutdown to record breaking prices at the pumps/energy while oil/energy companies site "supply chain," and "inflation" however post the largest profit margins in history.

The largest profits in HISTORY last year for chevron, exxon, shell, etc... a few months after oil was less than pennies per barrel and was literally not worth the storage space.

Houses in my neighborhood that used to go between 200k-300k are now between 600k-1M

I dont blink when my Saturday night dinner for 3 runs north of 200 dollars anymore.

I stopped at the grocery this past weekend for deli cuts, bread, milk, etc. minimal in-and-out consisting of maybe four bags of groceries 160. at the till

My neighbor little boy smashed his finger in a door jam last month which resulted in needing 4 stitches - $16,000.

16,000 Sixteen-thousand dollars = Four Stitches

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies"

I’ve never understood the reasoning for buying food at a game. You are in there for 2.5 to 3 hours. Eat before or eat after.

I like getting food at games as part of the experience. I like supporting the University

That goes out the window when they are punishing the people that actually go to the games

Shameful. Our AD should be ashamed.

Same here... same as in Coleman.

I miss the days of a good old stadium hotdog, some popcorn and a coke.

We still attend games, buy a coke or 2..

Exactly. Either the university is making a killing or the vendor they contracted with... likely both. It's just obscene to be charging double what other schools do...and that has nothing to do with our current macroeconomic situation. Just put everything together... from concessions to charging people to be on a freakin' waiting list... it's embarrassing. Times are good now because of the competitive teams being fielded...but once CNS retires and if they get the next hire wrong, they'll be offering a free spot on the waiting list, if there is a list then and 2 for 1 burgers. Of course the geniuses in administration don't worry about the future...they know they'll all be retired with their fat pensions and retirement accounts by then. The next group will be tasked with fan reconciliation when the time comes. And the bridges they're burning now aren't good for the long range business model. Right now they don't have to give a shite about what the fans think...and it shows.

Sounds like our government. But you’re right, it’s all about kickbacks. Vendors grease the the administration over it via new cars, trips, cash. It’s been going on forever.

Just go enjoy the game and make the choice to either buy the shite or not.

I haven’t bought from the concessions all year. I refuse simply out of principle. As the article states, you can get a legit good burger at Five for less than that basic frozen patty at Coleman.

And for the yearly price for a club pass, you could probably go out downtown to eat for every home game and come out about the same.

I'm there all the time. 15 bucks for a Conecuh hot dog or 2 chicken fingers and a dozen fries is a damn ripoff.

It's about as bad as it's ever been.
