I don't know if it's the event management team, but if this is the case, they need to be held accountable. The coaches and teams need to be worried about the games and only the games, not the roof of the dugouts or the size of the beers.

    Robichaux and staff had nothing to do with the decisions on the beer or event management. The buck stops with Scott Farmer, as per him last night. Feel free to come by in the stands and talk to him. The guy is always willing to listen, he can explain the decisions made.

    I know the guy who used to do the fried shrimp and sno-balls. When the concessions switched over from the Cajundome to Sodexho, Sodexho increased the cut they get from outside vendors, and it was not worth it to the sno-ball man. I believe he said it went from 30% under the Cajundome run to 40% under Sodexho. After you factor in food cost and labor cost, it doesn't leave a lot of room for profit. The prices are rediculous, but you have two choices: buy it or don't buy it. Robe does not control the prices. That is up to Sodexho. UL gets a certain % of the sales, so in order for Sodexho to make money they think they have to raise costs. If they lowered prices, they would sell more, and in turn make just as much money.

    Thanks for clearing it up. Everything I heard in the past seemed like they depended on the coaches doing it all. I know Farner is very accessible to the fans. I see him all over the place talking to people.

    As far as concessions, my cousins is high up with one of Sodexo's competitors. They have been trying for years to get the UL contract. He always says they don't get it because they cost more. However, there service and product are much better. I say that from first hand experience from visiting stadiums they service.

    I would express those comments to him, perhaps its time to review such contracts.

    On Saturday's game the beer cups appeared to be a little bigger. A friend took one home and he said it held 16 0z.

    just curious why do we have the catering company doing all UL events again? It seems like since they have taken over the duties everything is overly priced and lower quality. Nachos = a cup of cheese and a bag of chips. Beer = 12 oz or 16 oz cup should be 24 all $6. Slice of pizza and a Gatorade = $9! It seems since they have taken over I've seen more and more people go to concessions only to look at the prices in amazement and turn around empty handed and tell their kids to wait till after the game.

    The Nazi jackleg that is in charge of the catering company does not need to be at the Tigue either. I'm talking about the guy that was actually cooking the cheesesteak sandwiches last year. This past weekend he was everywhere barking orders and being a ding-a-ling to everybody. Two hours before the game, that idiot would not let THE COOK from the Cajun Cooking Club into the park w/out his cooking club pass. Are you kidding me?? The freakin' cook. He refused to let me in to watch BP, even with my ticket. Who the ef are you? And what authority do you have?

    The Tigue is a fan friendly place in every sense of the word. He CLEARLY does not need to be a part of it. Needs to go back to wherever he came from..........and while he is there, someone should teach him how to use seasoning on meat.

    Just who at UL is in charge of Event Management? Whoever that is, they do a horrible job and have for several years. How does all of this go unnoticed year after year? You don't have to be a BCS program to run a good event. These are the kind of things that have plagued UL for years and never seem to get corrected. I don't get it.

    LOL. I completely agree with most of your post, but especially this point.
