Gameday concessions

The circle of life.

They also are aware that concessions are a big problem for basketball. However CajunDome sets those prices and I don’t know how much they are willing to work with us on the issue. I do know folks in the administration recognize the issue and are trying to address it. Concession prices at the Smoothie King Center for Pelicans games can be cheaper than what the Dome charges.

The Cajundome prices could be considered highway robbery.

Slowest thieves on the planet too..nothing like missing almost the entire first half waiting to pay $14 for a beer or $5 for water

Hence, why I eat and drink before or after the game elsewhere

I don't know where they get changing $5 for a bottle of water when I can buy it for $07 a bottle. That's 36 bottles at Costco. for 2.50 a case. An if they are not getting it cheaper than what I can get it for than I would suggest they hire another purchasing agent. The same goes for a bottle of soda. You can go through all there concessions and the mark up is way too high. Sell 1000 waters for $2 each or 200 for $5.........well which one. Just mark down the concessions where the fans feel like they are not being robbed.

That's why I visit King Buffet before or after. I can eat my heart out for what they charge at baseball for a two bottles of water. $7.50 for Senior Citizens.

You still shouldn't have to wait almost an entire half of basketball to get concessions..and certainly shouldn’t be discouraged by pricing so high to not want a damn water at a 2-3 hour event. Lower the prices, give better service, sell more stuff and profits go up.

Beer

Ditto

Make sure you watch your cholesterol in take at the buffet.

This! Just don't buy anything at the Cajundome. That might give them a message.

It’s a wonder anyone shows up. Bad product on the court, overpriced concessions and slow service. You can’t write a more backasswards business model.

I do the same. MAT talked about this along with needing a better product on the court to have a better business model. Unfortunately baseball is starting to have similar issues. At least we can impact baseball concession prices.
