interesting concept, but did anyone actually go get a refill?

my daughter and I didn't get one last night...

moving around the SEZ last night was really pleasant now that the dorm is gone...there's actually a whole lot of room to add temporary concession items...like COFFEE in late October/November...

as far as the crews, they simply seemed inexperienced...hopefully after another game they'll start hitting their stride

Absolutely terrible choices!! I am a Nacho guy. Had an 8.00 Nacho GRANDE! Nachos with a little Chili and a Little Cheese in a Black Styrofoam bowl. You can buy a Cup of Cheese for $2.00. No Burgers at all! The drink deal is not too bad!!

In the west upper, they ran out of chili in the 2nd quarter!
No onions or pickles for your hot dog. BTW, the hot dogs sucked.

How do they know you're only on your first refill?

I forgot to get the refill but managed to spend 20$ on two hotdogs and a drink. They put more cheese on my hotdog then the actual hotdog itself. (Meaning they had more cheese then hotdog)

Underneath section 101 on West Lower, concession had 3 registers so three lines formed, but only used center register.
Choices: nachos with chili and cheese, soft drinks, burger buns but no burgers.

Question: where are they selling Manda sausage dog? That's the one thing I have to get at least once a season.

In southwest corner they couldn't sell drinks unless you had your own cup by mid 2nd quarter.

How do you run out of cups after 1 quarter?
Lot of missed revenue opportunity there...

We sit in the SEZ and concession lines weren't bad just over priced $14 for a mediocre burger with no fries and a drink is crazy. I also saw they had a chicken finger basket with drink for $17. I miss the City Pork stand from last year.

Blame lies solely on Aramark. They suck. My daughter's club runs one of the concession stands in the lower bowl. Aramark had a "pregame" meeting with us a couple of weeks ago that was worthless. They provide all food and beverage based on what they estimate will be used. Our stand ran out of coke and diet coke, popcorn, and hot dogs. In the 2nd quarter. But we did have 106 sausages left over...just no poboy buns to put them in.

Whoever at LSU awarded them that bid ought to be kicked squarely in the nuts.

No cajun/hot peanuts. New concessions suck.


Bring back Miles.

The big pockets on cargo shorts will hold a bag of peanuts and a soft drink in 12 oz plastic bottle.

NE upper here. Didn't notice much with the concessions. Restrooms were cleaned up painted with new fixtures. Several fans installed to circulate air which was nice. Strange think was I didn't see one program for sale. Outside, in the gate entrance , inside the stadium, nor in the stands.

I first saw this concept in Houston at the LSU baseball game earlier this year. It's not a bad deal.

They were the same old volunteer groups they always have. Some seemed like they knew what was up, but most seemed grossly incompetent, as usual.

I thought the choices were crappy too. I split the gumbo poutine fries with someone, and we both were really underwhelmed. The hot dogs were better than the old tiger dogs, so they get credit for that, along with the free refill on the large drink. The clueless worker forgot to pull the sticker off mine, so maybe I'll try again in 2 weeks.

I went to two different places in the SE EZ and couldnt find pizza...Im guessing they got pulled with the new vendor?

The concession food is terrible.

The upper level WEST side Stadium Club buffet ran out of drawn butter for the steamed lobster before halftime.
