Opening up a stadium style concession stand in Baton Rouge

I told him this is a shitty idea because you need to sell more than just nachos, burgers, hotdogs, and sodas to be a successful restaurant

Accurate.

However, in theory, would any of you guys stop by a concession stand rather than a fast food restaurant if you were driving down the road?

No. Can't I already stop by a gas station for his food?

You might suggest to him to have someone throw piss balloons at his customers to give them an authentic Tiger Stadium experience.

Any daiquiris to go?

Add this shite to the restaurants set to close in 2019

Your colleague is a fool.

So like a snowball stand without snowballs but with burgers instead?

Probably but you just never know. Sometimes you will see a business that for a million reasons should be a total failure but they some how thrive. I know one thing, if I were going to quit my job to start a business it damn sure wouldn't be a restaurant. The success rates for start ups are terrible. Now if you know what you are doing food wise and know damn well you can put out a quality product a food truck would be the way to go. As long as you have the capital to sustain it until you can get established and develop customers.

Just buy a food truck and serve whatever.

A big bag of concession stand popcorn would hit the spot as long as he doesn't charge 10 bucks like the movie theatre

Seems like a real long shot. There are a couple places in town like this this..Frankie's Dawg House in the Perkins food district area that seems to do OK?

I agree with a lot of posters about the food truck idea. The food truck fad seems to have legs and still seems like it is growing. If he can come up with some really unique take on stadium food and take it on the road maybe he could make it work. Selling just plain dogs and stadium cheese seems like a recipe for a quick flame out. Wish him luck.
