This. These are the only two food items I ever buy at an LSU game.

Girls from Brusly High ran the concessions under my section for a while and did a great job.

I stopped buying from concessions when they went to Aramark.

Random capitalization and unnecessary periods scattered throughout your wall of text are a great indicator of the type of IQ a person has to have to go on a rant about concession stand food.


You’re absolutely correct, but OP is also correct that Aramark sucks dick compared to the church groups that used to do this. I have ranted on this topic as well - most recently when Aramark double charged my credit card for a purchase at a football game and denied it when I called them out on it.

Let restaurants come in and serve. The mark up is high due to the tiger stadium cut but I'll sling hooters wings or apps there

Don't they also get a large minimum payment?



I thought LSU is guaranteed some lump sum payment and Aramark gets most of anything above that number. So Aramark is now squeezing to make the lump sum payment back and their profit. Fans have no other option so they have no reason to give a shite.

The times I have served there we had to give LSU so much per unit sold

I’m hoping next season the vendors that were up on the concourse, and burger smith down the left field line will be back

Had Several friends works for LSU sports properties. They had all sorts of duties. Well they would go through the football stadium and see these huge bags of popcorn. They would just dump it in the warmer after holding on to it for several years.

I wouldn't mind seeing a concessions thread after every LSU event.

It's absolute dog-poo.

I'm so poor and the prices are so high, I sneak these in to the Baseball games. Seriously. In ziplock bags in my "Dad" Cargo shorts.
They're $1.99 at the Circle K down the street and the bag is bigger.

Thanks. That's what I was trying to say. LSU got a huge amount upfront.

I've always though that a City Pork nacho stand would make a killing at a ball game.


City Pork did have a Nacho stand under the main concourse at Alex Box for one season. It was awesome. They had different types of meat and a good queso sauce instead of that generic cheese. I think it was the year before Covid. They had city pork upstairs and burgersmith downstairs.

Why can't we have better concessions at football basketball and baseball..everyone else in the SEC has much better concessions than we do Nachos are horrible Hotdogs are cold and the buns are stale Popcorn is stale and very salty...taste like it was popped 20 years ago.. Aramark service is extremely slow and overall terrible Concession stands worked better when the church groups use too run them...wish they would bring this back...ARAMARK is horrible Other than an occasional drink I always eat before or after the game...food is high priced and HORRIBLE



fricking Karens will complain about anything and everything.

Seriously who expects the food at the concession stands to be good and low priced????

Wah wah wah dont go to the fricking game then.

LSU should be known nationally for the best concessions around. This state revolves around and prides itself on its food.

Gumbo, jambalaya, etc. are literally made to be served in huge quantities and large batches.


Now find a company that cooks those things & can staff prepare, serve 100k people

I don’t think y’all really understand how concessions work. This isn’t a pee league jamboree

They do this in the club seat areas. Why not offer it in the South endzone concession area as a test run?
