LSU has no drinking fountains.
Technically, not true. There are drinking fountains outside of each medical room. If you know where the medical areas are, you can find a water fountain. There's no more than half a dozen in the stadium, but there are more than zero.

That's good to know if you can access them if all they can provide is ice.
I think the upper decks may also have drinking fountains btw.
Exactly where are the fountains located ?

I know there is one near the opposing team's tunnel. I'm not sure where the others are, but I do know that there are fountains outside every medical room.

That was real nice. Almost made it through the entire game without hearing that retarded "Bitch I'm From Louisiana".

Aramark is a huge Fortine 500 company which is no different than the rest of corp america--squeeze the middle man to appease the shareholder.

Since when do concessions not charge for cups of ice? That's been the case since I've been going to games everywhere in the 80's

Did anyone else notice a large amount of what seemed like Indian workers running the concessions. At least in the NEZ.
Dot or feather?
Are concession stands still operated by high school student organizations? I know baton rouge high used to have 2. The math club ran one or both.

you have an axe to grind with anybody, it should be LSU, Aramark is going to squeeze every penny they can out of the consumer if they are allowed to by the University
They ran out of items to sell when people wanted to purchase them. Kind of their only reason to exist

Nachos, large coke, and 2 small styrofoam cups were $27
Forget booze. I need to start sneaking in cokes, ice and nachoes.
Aramark and LSU Admin are the pits.

I've learned to eat enough at our tailgate to need nothing to eat during the game. Now, if they run out of ice, we got a problem.

Yes they suck, but LSU uses the state bid process and they won the bid. Can't just pick a random more expensive company. However, Alleva now has to crack some skulls about the issues, which he won't.

If you’re going to only offer warm water, least they could do for your troubles is give you a cup of ice.

2 cokes, 2 burgers.
$32
they also now charge $2 for a small shot sized cup of cheese if you want that with your burger.

They built two new First Aid rooms. One on the East and one on the West sidelines. They do not have drinking fountains. Maybe the others do.
I checked the official map of the stadium and while it shows ATM locations but not drinking fountains.

Running out of water is bordering on the criminal.
I tend to agree and charging 6 dollars is definitely criminal. Look, you want to gouge your fans on cokes, burgers and nachos fine. But at at least offer water at a fair price. I can buy a 32 pack of nestle water at Walmart for 4 bucks. That is 12 and half cents a bottle. That is what someone pays retail. No telling what LSU could buy it for wholesale. Now if they sold them for 2 dollars a bottle I don't think anyone would complain and your still making a huge profit. When your talking game with heat like yesterday and 90 to 100,000 people crammed into the stadium it becomes a safety issue IMO.

If the water is too expensive for you they have water fountains in the stadium.
If you lower the price of the water to a level below the price currently demanded they will run out faster. Econ101.
