Wow, that is really something. Gotta give them credit for trying to increase attendance and give the fans a better experience. Not sure what kind of a hit it will take to their profit margin on game days, but it will certainly be appreciated by their fans.

Less money spent on concessions = more money spent on beer?

Now ESPN has picked it up on the front page side bar. They will have people buying tickets like it's an all you can eat buffet.

$150 for season tickets w/ 6 free meals. CCU may struggle with math.

Much like Red Lobster and endless shrimp, this probably can't turn out well.

Edit: I may call them Teal Lobster soon.

Just wait until they get inundated with people in lines (mostly angry) especially during the first couple of 90+ degree games waiting impatiently for that free hot dog (and missing an entire quarter). It’s not going to go well.

We should do this for the Holmes Center. A little crappy hot dog with no sauce and a drink cost me over $9 this past season.

Georgia State sold their own brand of beer for $1 per can, and it wasn't that bad.

They’ve probably already estimated the total season cost and have a donor who’s already covered it…in which case it’s brilliant. Nothing is free in this world.

Maybe, the food is really salty, so you have to buy more beer?

lines are already too long at Coastal. This will make it worse. No premium items though, just your basic hot dog and chips

Soda is a money maker. The cost is minimal. They aren’t losing money on giving away soda.
