It seems we have too many people here trying to dip in and make some money.
Have you been to a mardi gras ball at the dome? Lol a 6 pack runs $21. A fifth of hard stuff about $80. I know they want to make money but damn!

I hear you on that but Mardi GRAS ball is once a year type deal, how do they expect a family of 4 to do that for 15 home basketball games or 26-30 home baseball games. That's a lot of money plus the cost of season tickets, college athletics should still be family oriented.
this isn't the NBA or NFL, either way besides all that sodexo sucks bad and the bald headed jerk needs to go, he walks around like his name is tigue Moore

Can we forward this whole thread to mr. Farmer? Someone other than fans needs to address this issue...

They have contracts with these people. The contracts wont be broken. I wonder...does UL even have a say so in the concession contractor in the dome? maybe its Greg Davis you need to wear out on this one.
Gotta say, though...on that basketball11 game winning streak...that $14.50 I spent on the Jumbeaux Mic Ultra and 2 bags of roasted peanuts was damned well worth it.

I've been living in baton Rouge for about the past 26 years and usually make about 6 or 7 Southern baseball games a year. Their baseball booster club handles concessions and cooking for all baseball games. However, they don't always serve all these items on weekday games. I was there this past Sunday and here's a sample of what they regularly serve on weekends:
Chicken wing (5) or catfish (3) box with fries $5.00
BBQ chicken thigh quarters-------------------- $4.00
BBQ hamburgers or pork chop sandwich $3.00
(real pit bbq, not baked & dipped in Kraft sauce)
Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya box------------$4.00
Hot Sausage Poboy (with or without chili)-----$4.00
Hog dogs (with chili) ---------------------------$3.00
French Fries, Nachos, popcorn ----------------$2.00
Can soft drinks ---------------------------------$1.00
Thats Mr. ml tigue moore to buddy

I've been curious about whether the contract for on-campus dining and athletic venue catering is tied together. I suspect we would get better results if they weren't.Quote:

With a menu and prices like that I would past on supper and eat at the ball park every time. I remember going to one arena but can't remember what sport. But they had big deep fried turkey legs for $5.....it was a meal in itself with french fries and a drink. Forget eating at the Tigue until things change.Quote:

The large draft at bww is in the 6.50 to $7 range, two bucks mark up for the "at a game" fee is reasonable.Quote:

We are already nationally known for our food in the parking lot of cajun field, why not inside cajun field. I don't mind forking 7 bucks for some food but why not make it actual food? Festival international seems to do fine and average prices are 5 bucks a serving.
All of our ancestors were poor as _____ cajuns and figured out how to make some pretty damn good food, duplicate that
I guess my comment was a little biased being that I don't drink Abita. Paying $8-9 for a large domestic DRAFT beer is a rip off. No matter how you look at it it's ridiculous.Quote:
