Why hasn’t every NFL team lowered concession prices like the falcons?

The falcons made record profit(not just more sales, more actual money was made) and they had a huge boost in fan satisfaction

It’s literally a no brainer to do this. Yet, nobody else has. Why? Is it truly because they don’t want to make make more money and simply just enjoy fricking people over?

Because 90% of owners don't care about the fans.

Some teams don’t control the food and beverage contracts like the falcons

The Saints thought about then up the price of a Coors Light to 18 dollars

The other owners probably looked at the Falcons attendance and realized that people care more about going to watch a good product than they do saving a few bucks on shite food and drink

Are there other instances of teams making more money after lowering prices? If the sample size is larger than 1 you may get some to follow suit

Went to MBS last year for a United game, and was blown away. Blank isn't a good owner from a competitive/want-to-win phase (though its not from lack of effort, but he can't fire Rich McKay), but he really does give a shite about fan experience.

That matters, and the concession prices show it. Contrast this with Truist, which has a better product, but yikes those concession prices are extreme.

Part of the reason is likely decades long Aramark contracts

The falcons concessions are great, but not even they could serve me fast enough to not miss a TD in 2019 playoff game vs. OU

Ain’t worth going to games anymore. Much better to watch at home.

That stadium is an all around enjoyable experience.

You mentioned concessions, but also the staff, seating and gameday experience are miles ahead of most stadiums.

I've been to 25+ pro stadiums and MB was the best experience hands down.
Second would be the Giants' stadium in San Fran

F&B is not typically owned by the teams.

Make the same amount of money for less work.

I've thought about this. When I own the STL Cardinals

I'm making a contract with the fans. Why should the players get all the guarantees and the people paying for it get zilch

we get 3 million seats. Concession prices for the next season roll back to prices of the last world series win So 2011 prices

And a cap of 5% increase YoY in ticket prices. So if 3 mill Tix are sold..a 40 dollar ticket would be 42 the next year
