Isn't that the literal definition of attempting to explain something? I was just explaining relevant facts you didn't include.

I don’t have a dog in the fight, I just hear people complaining who don’t seem to understand the basic considerations behind why the vendor is Aramark.
I don't think anyone is disillusioned about why the vendor is Aramark. That has nothing to do with expected quality of service, which is what they are actually upset about.

I don’t eat concessions at stadiums/ballparks, I’ve never thought it was as good as what I cook while tailgating. I buy water, and that’s it.
Water is free in the venue. That's their biggest markup item.

You seem well-informed in the procurement part. Do you know any of the other specifics I asked about? Not trying to be a dick, just interested.

I would disagree that giving background facts is the definition of explaining why the results are deemed poor. I was providing context as to why the AD can’t simply fire Aramark and have some magical vendor that provides culinary trained chefs to prepare hot dogs for people who can’t wait 4 hours between meals.
I’ve been to every SEC football venue, and quite a few NFL venues, but I’ve never eaten at any of them, so I don’t have any knowledge base to compare it too. I’ve never heard anything but complaints about concessions food, regardless of where I have been. I suspect the logistics of distributing food throughout a stadium, combined with the fact that most of it is essentially gas station food, probably explains why most fans at most stadiums complain.

Sure it's free, if you can find a working water fountain. As far as I know, you can't even bring in an empty bottle to fill with water. So every time you need a sip of water, you get to go and find the nearest crusty water fountain.

I'd like to see an expansion of the "craft" food carts and booths. I've always though that a City Pork nacho stand would make a killing at a ball game.
