What if the whole strategy is to make the lines really long for the low profit margin items and drive people to the higher profit margin items…In which case devious and brilliant.Captain Morgan wrote: ↑Wed Apr 02, 2025 11:46 amlines are already too long at Coastal.

Re: Coastal to have free concessions
I would do this in Holmes for paying customers next season. Charge $20 for adults/$15 for kids and do Hot Dogs, Chips, Sodas and Nachos. In 2.5 hours, you're not going to lose money and in certainly could boost attendance and get families in the building for weekend games. You still have the opportunity to sell other concessions, beer and souvenirs.

Re: Coastal to have free concessions
So I used to do business with the company that's managing the mobile app that is required to be used in order to get the free concessions.
Said company has turned into a data mining company instead of software development company. They make their money by selling data from their software now. They no longer make money by creating software.
Do with that what you will.

Re: Coastal to have free concessions
I remember being at a home game a few years ago and early in the first quarter a family in front of us left their seats presumably to get concessions. I swear they didn’t get back until the second quarter. I have no idea where they went. Whenever I go to a game there is no way I’m burning have a quarter standing in a long line for a hot dog. How many average fans will want to miss chunks of games simply for free food?

Makes sense how they are paying for those concessions now.704App wrote: ↑Fri Apr 18, 2025 7:06 amSo I used to do business with the company that's managing the mobile app that is required to be used in order to get the free concessions.
