Now I'm f*ck*ng pissed off.
Am I the only one who has gotten completely inedible pieces of shit hotdogs? I know I sit in the poor people's section, but surely others are having the same issue. I have almost no other options offered by the concessions either. The only other meat the concessions offer in the upper deck east side is a chicken wrap (aka vag*na wrap). Who the hell cares what the prices are when they're eating dog shit?... I'm one of the few (i guess) who don't really care what the prices of food are as long as supply is meeting demand, but at least give me a choice besides dog shit and woman chicken wraps.Quote:
5. Concessions. This topic is always a hot subject with the fans. I understand Aramark has the contract. When does the contract expire? Are there stipulations for us to demand better concessions, service, and prices? Are there options other than Aramark?
Aramark has the food vending contract for the entire campus, which includes game day concessions. They have been responsive when we have had concerns, and we will continue to work with them on areas that we would like to see improvement, particularly pricing. In the SEC's league wide fan survey for this past season, Mississippi State's concessions scored among the highest in the league in quality and availability. But pricing continues to remain a concern.

If at all possible I really try to come to the game having already eaten. If I can't I normally buy a bag of boiled peanuts or something to get me through until after the game. I haven't really found any food at the MSU concessions that I would want to make a meal out of at the general concessions places. I'm sure its a different story in the club level or at least I hope it is.Quote:

I didn't see anything about the sound at DWS- was I the only one who could barely understand anything the announcer said?
For most of the season, speakers were not working properly in the original jumbotron. Just email your concerns to Scott and encourage others to do so as well. They'll get it done if people let them know to get it doneQuote:

I agree. It's hard to tune a stadium so that everyone can hear noise exactly the same when all of the speakers are on one end of the stadium.Quote:

I thought that I'd heard mention of some blown speakers or something.Quote:

And if you have kids that think they have to have something every 20 minutes it gets even worse. This is especially true for the early games when it is hot as hell. I remember a game I went to back when I was a student where it was in the 90's and they ran out of cold drinks and just had bottles at air temp. You could buy one of those but if you wanted it cold you then had to buy a cup of ice too. To me, that was piss poor ethics and had no human decency. I know they need to make as much money as possible to compete in the SEC but when you charge $20 for parking, $60-$80+ for the ticket, $7.00 for a coke and whatever a hotdog costs...if it is hot enough that heat exhaustion is an issue don't charge for the ice if you run out of cold drinks. That's punishing the fan for you not being able to have adequate inventory.
