I realize that prices will be high for concessions at sporting events, but it’s really bad. We didn’t have time to eat before the game and decided to give it a shot. $34 for two cokes, two hot dogs, a popcorn and nachos.

Everything was cold and below horrible except for the cokes. Lady at register had no idea what the combos were and even had to ask me to read off the prices for her from the board. It wasn’t even busy. Absurdly overpriced for what we got and embarrassing. We’ll be sure never to get food there again until something changes. LSU can do better than this. We live in Louisiana for God’s sakes. Otherwise a good time. Will Wade is the real deal and we’re witnessing the start of something special.

It’s really bad, to put it mildly.

Why does LSU try to rape you at the concessions?

The 45 minute wait for a hamburger last Saturday was special.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Alleva release a statement about the concessions issue. People are livid.

I’m pretty damn sure they changed the cheese on the nachos at the PMAC.

You can’t always guarantee great coaching hires or great players, but you can absolutely control stuff like this. I mean a minimal effort would be a drastic improvement.

It’s clear that Coach Wade has had input in improving the game day experience. I think the PMAC will be rockin’ when the bigger games come along based on the little tweaks we’re already seeing. Hopefully someone realizes that they’re leaving more money on the table with the shitty concessions than they are making with the 90% profit margins they’re pulling on the sales. People just aren’t going to buy as much as they would if concessions were at least adequate.

It's pretty shitty at every sporting event. They rape TF outta you in prices and then give crappy food. Best bet is to smuggle in snacks and alcohol.

They should want to create a reputation that LSU has one of the top b-ball team in the nation, f-ball team, baseball team, and one of the best tasting concession food in the nation.

In other news, Shannon Bream is wearing ugly glasses.

This seems like a no brainer to me. They can still make a ton of money. People will pay for it. It’s not like it’s gotta be 5 star cuisine. Just OK would be better than most places. I’ve had better concessions at high school fairs.

Basketball is as bad as football?

You would think that its much easier to get the concession stands correct with 80,000 less people.

The only away game I attended this year was ole Miss. Their concessions were much better than ours. They even have outside vendors in the stadium.

someone should write up a letter and tell me where to send it. We should be able to get a good number of people to participate.

It was better last year in the PMAC. There was City Pork, the Cajun stand where you could get crawfish pies and jambalaya, Smashburger. And now we have food that looks and tastes like it came from a high school cafeteria. It’s really a shame.

We should have local foods represented in our concessions. And not the stupid crap like gumbo nachos or French fries with crawfish tails on top of them.

Not to mention being overpriced, but that’s every stadium I’ve ever been to. Why can’t we get this right?

asking for some simple Louisiana staples like, jambalaya, fried catfish, poboys, etc shouldn’t even be a pipe dream.

But jesus we can’t even do fricking nachos and hot dogs right.

The chili on the nachos was an embarrassment to chili nationwide... and it was 8 dollars
