Atlanta Falcons are turning stadium economics upside down ($2 hot dogs, $5 beers)

Overpriced stadium food is standard at big-time sporting events. If you get hungry, expect to fork over $7 for a hot dog. It's annoying. It's also simple economics: Inside a stadium, there's no competition bringing prices down, so prices stay high. Sports fans are trapped in a captive market.
That's usually the end of the story. But the Atlanta Falcons are trying something different. They've lowered prices. It could change the way stadium economics works.
Today on the show: We send two reporters down to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to eat their way through a radical experiment.

$5 is still high for a beer.

You use to be able to spend $28 and get 3 beers in Atlanta a few years back. Back when I dated a 28 yr old girl with 3 kids.

I wouldn't be surprised if it works out for them. I bet a lot of people who wouldn't normally pay the high prices will now buy stuff.

They cut up the hot dogs for the players.
Why?
SO they don't choke!

A number of stadiums let you bring in outside food/drinks to the game. No beer
Yankee Stadium you can bring in sandwiches and waters etc. That saves a consumer a lot and they may be willing to pay more for tickets

Get rid if companies like Centerplate and concessions would be cheaper. I don’t get why SMG won’t just do their own concessions. There’s enough events going on at the Dome, Champions Square and the Arena year round to have quality full time employees to sell concessions.
Centerplate hires contract laborers to work most event which explains why food quality and service is crap.

The podcast aired yesterday (Nov 7th, 2018). They discuss how the experiment has gone thus far. You'd know that if you bothered to click on the link.
