    MAT, I haven’t bought any concessions at MBB in 2+ years. Tried Saturday, there is no conceivable reason to have multiple lines 8 to 10 deep approaching the first media TO of the second half. Not only are the prices financially out of line, there’s a high probability many of those in line missed a lot of the game, the basic reason for being there. Can’t make fans of the game if they’re stuck in line.

    Ended up buying overpriced water from a beer vendor elsewhere.
    From now on, it's peanuts only for me. Popcorn I think was $7. And it was trash popcorn. I didn't eat half of it.

    I NEVER buy concessions at the Dome. Being a Rebounders club member does have one perk associated with that issue. There is a pregame social prior to every game in the Table Room. Snacks are provided and usually something like jambalaya is also served. Soft drinks and beer are also available. With the cost of concessions, the membership cost just about pays for itself compared to what you would pay for buying food/drinks at the Dome.

    I don't really eat at the dome as I find that most of the food has really gone down quality wise especially when you factor in the costs, however, I have to get a dome foam or two!

    So Mike, let’s project this thought.
    You’re a typical young father. Your 6,8, and 3 year olds want something from the concessions. What do you do, tell them to suck it up, and be quiet, or overspend and miss too much game.

    IMO it’s never kosher to project your situation onto others. Clearly UL and Dome management could care less. That’s an unfortunate truth that we’re killing our saplings.

    Speaking of the Table Room.. What a waste of an investment. They spent a ton to renovate that space. It's only open to Rebounder Club members prior to basketball games? If so, whose idea was that? Talk about a negative ROI.

    That area should be open to all fans, at least 2 hours before and after every game around the complex. It should be used as a recruiting tool for tailgating, especially.

    Why do we hate money?

    They don't hate money, they're just too lazy to leverage the assets we have available to do anything that will actually make money...It's like, "Let's just require $$, no need to break a sweat making $$"

    Then they'd have to staff it, MAT. Seems like a lot of work to get that done. Probably too much.
    That empty table room ____es me off every time I walk past it.

    ETA: It should be open for every away basketball, football, and baseball game. That place has so much opportunity.

    You have to have perks to reward the Rebounders club members. They also can adequately stock the food and drinks. No reason to not have similar concessions in adequate amounts to satisfy projected fans plus 500.

    If I were a bar tender or server, I would have KILLED to work in a venue like that during college. We have games constantly throughout the year. That place could be awesome and it just sits there..

    Wait, I thought y'all told me most people don't give to get perks. They give to benefit the program. Which one is it?

    I'm obviously being a smart ass, but that is one expensive "perk" for a handful of people in one sport. Use the asset to benefit the entire program, not just a few people in one sport.
