Concession Prices

_ agreed! i don't know how much the other beers are, but seriously a quart of abita amber at a cajuns game for under 10 is a fair price. a 12 oz cost at least 3.50 if not four at any bar in town. The large draft at bww is in the 6.50 to $7 range, two bucks mark up for the "at a game" fee is reasonable.
What i don't get is why we cant have something like a jambalaya at games, it's cheap and can be made mass production style. I think home and away fans would dig on that and give us one more thing to be known for, not just the normal crap nachos and burgers.
We are already nationally known for our food in the parking lot of cajun field, why not inside cajun field. I don't mind forking 7 bucks for some food but why not make it actual food? Festival international seems to do fine and average prices are 5 bucks a serving.
All of our ancestors were poor as _____ cajuns and figured out how to make some pretty damn good food, duplicate that _

I guess my comment was a little biased being that I don't drink Abita. Paying $8-9 for a large domestic DRAFT beer is a rip off. No matter how you look at it it's ridiculous.

Next time step up to the big boy line and support a local company and a local product. While i like Abita Amber, the Purple Haze at basketball games is well worth it. Its very hard to find Purple Haze on draft....

I have the same problem. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I feel like Cajun sporting events should be showcases of Cajun culture. We work hard to keep a friendly atmosphere at the games, we play Cajun music, and we eat Philly cheese steaks?

Our games should be the Mecca of concession stand food.

_ With a menu and prices like that I would past on supper and eat at the ball park every time. I remember going to one arena but can't remember what sport. But they had big deep fried turkey legs for $5.....it was a meal in itself with french fries and a drink. Forget eating at the Tigue until things change. _

Trust me, the food is as good as the menu looks. Well-seasoned, well cooked. It's the quality of food that you would skip eating supper or lunch at home to eat at the ball park. I know several people there who prepare the food and they are VERY clean and sanitary. And very courteous

Would it be wrong if someone set up a food stand right outside the TIGUE and offered better food (appropriate for for our culture) and at a better price (better than a 7$ crappy burger)? Real fresh nachos, hot dogs, jambalaya, fried seafood poboy or seafood dinner with fries, or anything better than what we got now.If that doesnt prove a point to the admin that we don't like what the product is in the concessions, then I don't know what will...
