Should UL get rid of Sodexo?

Ohhhhhh, well then......now that you put it that way.....its practically free. And I mean, you don't need to buy a drink also. You can drink from the bathroom sink. I swear man, all people do is b!+ch and complain on here. Finally....someone on here to remind us to eat bugs and be happy.
BTW, a 3 finger combo with fries, bread, sauce and a 22 of drink is less than 10 dollars at Cane's. But 12 dollars for just tenders (and not very good ones) is a real steal.

Buy canes before you geaux, problem solved.

They offered affordable concession prices during the 2021 season. It did nothing for attendance and people _____ed about long lines. Just a constant _____ fest

I think its much deeper then that. Its not always about cheaper prices.

So if I go to a baseball game knowing i be there for at least 3 houra, 6 or 7 if its a double header.

As a person are you gonna want to eat stale nachos, or do i want variety and quality?

So i am gonna eat lunch will i pay more to get a philly cheesesteak sandwich and a drink, or fried catfish and fries vs some stale nachos.

Both has there place and all i am saying is i think more people would pay more for the cheesesteak sandwich or a fried fish plate vs the nachos.

fun fact: do you know why they called baseball Americas past time?

Before cell phones and television it was a way for people to past the time.

I had loaded nachos friday night...they were actually pretty good and not bad for $7.75

I really don't understand the logic behind the idea that we have to be capable of feeding 20k people on Saturdays, nor do I understand the need to have a meal during a sporting event. Other countries don't do this.

Drinks and snacks like popcorn, peanuts and chips should be available. Other than that, food selections should be provided by food trucks and fast food vendors.

The best solution is like I always say. Just let people come and go to the Tailgating area as they please. Solves EVERYTHING.

Whats the point? I dont go to baseball games for fine cuisine. I go to watch ball and eat a little something to satisfy the hunger.

Okay, are we not trying to build our fan base? Or are we trying to reach more people?

For someone who is going to The Crawfish Festival, Festival International, or any of the festivals around the area, what is their main purpose in going?

Well, if I go to the Crawfish Festival, I'm probably going to want some crawfish. What's a Crawfish Festival without crawfish?

If I go to Festival International, I'm probably going to listen to music, but many people also go to try all the food from restaurants around Acadiana.

Our focus should not just be on attracting Cajun baseball fan who already attends games. We need to broaden our horizons and start pulling in other groups to get them interested.

That's part of broadening our horizons and trying to grow the fan base.

Its a sporting event not a food festival.

I bet almost 99% would treat their family and spend $140 at a nice restaurant like Deanos, versus sitting at McDonald's, paying $40, and treating the family there.

Now, both have their place. I think if we offer better dining options, more people would spend more money, resulting in a bigger profit margin.

Until we _____ about the prices.

Bad news travels fast, good news takes years to change lifestyles. One would be amazed at how few knew about the $2 natties. For sure 1 year trials won't cut it.

Edit it might if there is a big enough advertising campaign.
