Someone please send this Maggard, Greg Davis or whoever runs the concessions at the dome
Free t-shirts in student section tonight.
The "Mighty Utah Student Section" (MUSS) didn't even start till 2002.
They had nothing till they tried.
A friend of mine showed up at 5:15 and all of the shirts were gone. I’m expecting there to be a really good student section
I pay $13-15 a beer here in DFW & Cleveland events but the markets here expects this price. Sucks, but I already know before I leave home it's a min $100 out of pocket plus ticket costs, when I take my son or wife to an event. Beer creeps up annually and we keep paying so they keep increasing. Same is true for parking, depending on event it's $20-50+ just to park now per event. A decent tix is $200+ albeit Maverick tix this year are easier to come by.
I also work weekdays in Cleveland and anything lower or mid levels against a decent team with multiple seats to buy is $250 & up per tix. So 2 tix, beers, parking to a Cavalier game isconservatively $400 a game. Against a good opponent, $600-800 per game.
That said, a University using economic supply/demand pricing shouldn't be stretch. You can make thousands more in revenue per game by keeping prices modest. Margins lowerbut you make more $$$. In the end, it's about maximizing actual profit in your pocket.
Moral of the storyCajuns don't have LeBron James on their squad. The second LeBron no longer plays in CLE.prices will plummet to keep fans coming. Supply/Demand does work.
You were right about the specialty beer selection being crap. With all of the good craft beers available today, the selection is really unacceptable. Especially when you're trying to charge $13 for it
Where are the good beers that they used to sell at the dome? I didn't even see Envie. Wtf? Glad I drank a nova and an envie in the parking lot instead
Students showed up
I think the beer selection varies with different concession stands.
