They get over 50% of each sale.

Luring me into buying a “bottomless” tub of popcorn—$8.00

Waiting on line for 15 minutes to find out they’re OUT OF POPCORN BEFORE HALFTIME—priceless.

It was worse tonight in the South End Zone that I've ever seen it before, every concession stand ran out of almost everything.... None of them had anything to offer at the middle of the 3rd quarter none of the water was ever cold ...it was just ridiculous

And to make it worse the workers in the stands wanted to get mouthy about the fact that people are upset that they were out of everything

I did my fair share of bitching about our concessions earlier this season, but I won't pass up an opportunity to do it again..

1. Wife wanted a hot dog and I wanted a coke, so I saw they were advertising a hot dog/soda (in the "special" cup) for $13. But on the side of the menu they advertised a hot dog by itself for $4 and the drink for $7, which adds up to $11. So the combo costs more??? Apparently the combo includes the "Tiger Dog" which adds chili and cheese, so I'm to understand that garbage chili and cheese costs at least $2, if not more, to make the combo a "deal" at $13.

2. I don't know if it's just my section, but there was no pizza or hamburgers being sold. Only options were hot dogs and nachos. The jambalaya is decent, but I'm not paying $9 for a 4 ounce bowl of freaking jambalaya.

3. At some point during the game my buddy got up and didn't come back for a good 20 minutes. I assumed he was having a blowout in the bathroom, but turns out it took him 20 minutes to get a refill.

4. Not a concessions complaint, but the TVs in the concessions area...C'mon, man.. I think I read they plan on finally updating them, but Christ. It's 2017 and we have 16" RCA tube televisions down there. And half of them are so grainy you can't even see anything. Hell, earlier this season I was in a concessions line and there was only 2 TVs in view: 1 of them was turned off, the other had been angled so that it was facing the wall it was mounted on. Needless to say I missed the TD that was scored while I was down there

Makes more and more sense every year to just stay home and watch the games on TV

Last night was my first game of the season and I had read a similar thread last week. I went to the philly cheese steak spot after we fumbled on the first play and the girl told me they were almost out of the meat. I laughed and asked how the hell they were almost out, the game just started. I was told they got swamped to start the game. Isn’t this what you would expect and be prepared for? The prices are ridiculous. Also why has LSU not upgraded the TVs in the walkways? And why is the live game not playing on those TVs when you get concessions?

I posted on the scoreboard last night, but will again. Section 411 was out of hot dogs and sausage before the end of the second quarter. I was happy to see no lines, sorry to say that meant no food. Ridiculous.

I was in North EZ last night. They ran out of peanuts,hamburgers, and pizza last night before halftime. The line was 50 deep the entire night. What a shame..

Aramark also runs the cafeteria and custodial services for EBR Schools... The food is trash and the rooms are filthy. They also put employees with criminal records in schools.

That's what I started doing. Better seats, better food, free parking, less crowded and cleaner bathrooms, and saved a shitpile of money letting the season tickets go. Every now and then the season ticket bug nibbles at me, but then I come back to my senses. No way I am shelling out all that money and putting up with all that shite.

One of the concession stands in the east upper ran out of hot dogs in the 1st quarter. My buddy went to another stand and got the most disgusting cold piece of shite disguised as food. Glad I didn't eat one.

Went to the Arkansas game a couple weeks ago. After watching 5 people not be able to get one pretzel out of a case after more than 5 minutes, I asked for my money back. Trust me, as ridiculous as the scenario Sounds, it would have been 10 times more ridiculous had you witnessed it.

Aramark is owned and run by the New York mafia.
