No more expansions. Time to spruce up the existing structure. The concourses are like a dungeon, concession service is terrible. There's still a lot of improvements that can be made to the game day experience at Tiger Stadium.

Somebody needs to get Will Wade out there to witness some of the concession stands during the game. The dude can make things happen!

I’ve posted in most of these threads, but Aramark is miserable, pathetic, and any of the other synonyms of terrible out there.

Somehow they managed to frick every single thing up. That’s a talent not many have.

It’s obvious that whoever is running the show for the games has no idea what the hell they are doing and needs to be let go.

I expected a learning curve, sure, but a whole season and still running out of stuff and having 30 minute lines at all times? On the last game of the season? Cmon.

Joe needs to sack up and fire these cholos. But if his negotiating skills are like sports, he probably gave them a 10-year contract paid up front with a no-compete clause.

Nothing at all. They're analog models dating back to the 1980s and never got retrofitted w/ converter boxes upon the signal switch bout 10 years ago.

You can cut through the hostility in that statement with a knife. "Cholo" is generally regarded as an offensive ethnic slur

LSU relies on concessions income, and if the incompetent company can't provide working concessions then LSU athletics loses money.




The way I understand it, is that Aramark pays LSU to do the concessions and all profits from the concession sales go to Aramark. I could be wrong about this, but if this the case, LSU is not losing money due to lack of sales, Aramark is.

I had about the same experience. Went down mid-second quarter to beat the halftime rush, except that I didn't. Went to about 3 or four concession stands and all ridiculous lines.

So I finally just concede and go to the one closest to my seats. The wait is excruciating, little or no line movement and it takes 20-25 minutes to get up there to order (I can only imagine what halftime was like). And while I'm waiting there are TV's on either side but neither has the game on. Occassionally the tv will put up a message like "MAKE SOME NOISE"....but I got no clue why cause the game is not being shown.

Very frustrating, been to every stadium except Missouri in the SEC and everyone has the game on TV's in the corridor....don't understand this.

When I finally get up to get my overpriced burger and pretzel, both are cold.

Worst concessions in the SEC and no live action on the tv screens. Pretty pathetic actually.
