Eat before you arrive. It's not cheap. You will still get snacks for the kids, but they will be less hungry. Hotdogs are cheaper though. Everything is $5-15 dollars.

Do early dinner. Concessions are expensive, even for stadium food.

Eat ahead of time. Even hot dogs are like $7. It's damn ridiculous.

A soda is $10, if that gives you a good estimate for the prices of other stuff.

I'd say eat before the game on the way in. But if you do get stuff at the game, take advantage of the free refills on sodas if you get some. It's free refills all game so whoever can split one with somebody I'd recommend that.

The hot dogs are garbage but the sausage wraps are good and they are about the same price.

It would be a big mistake to eat at the game.

Eat before.

Our AD is driving people away with $7 hotdogs.

They need to educate themselves on loss leaders

Yea.

4 hotdogs and 1 drink for a family to share is $38. Because of that I won't spend another dime at concessions.

But if hotdogs were $3, even if they kept drinks at $10, I would buy each time I come, and likely spend $40 each time with popcorn and candy.

Since the concessions are too high, many people will just avoid it all together until the AD gets the message.

At least there's refill stations. Buy 1 or 2 cups for the whole family and just refill it

Totally.

I honestly don't look at the prices because my parents give the kids money constantly so I just pay for it out of that. But if I was spending my own money, we'd buy nothing.

For the last several years, at both Olsen and Kyle, I have gotten 50% off with my military ID. You may have to get a manager, but 9 out of 10 times, they give me the discount.
When the truth comes out, do not ask me how I knew.
Ask yourself why you did not.

Nice try. Loss leaders help sell what at Costco and Sam's? Now what would they sell at Olsen at Blue Bell? Be specific…

We have three family members that work at a warehouse club btw…so…none of them willingly eat the food…and we do buy the products!!!

In fact: prime steaks at Sam's are usually quite good. We think prime at Costco is too lean. News you can use!!!

Man, first education, then healthcare, a burial spot, and now 50% off concessions at Kyle and Olsen. And you get all that for just putting your life on the line to protect me and my family?

Thank you, sir (or madam) for your service!

I know but I'd spend it if I could get ACTUAL Coca-Cola in Olsen.

I haven't purchased a soft drink at any Aggie event since we switched to Pepsi

It's Levy. For all that I hate about disch faulk and the sips, they have decently priced concessions. Same dang Rudy's sandwich costs like $5 there.

It's my understanding that Pepsi loses money on our contract, just to have their name there.

Was at Davis Diamond earlier in the week. Going off memory

4 chicken strips/fries - $14.99
Soda (unlimited refills) - $9.99
Wine - $11.49 (know this one for sure
)

Had I known it was 4 chicken strips and fries mom and I could have split but it is what it is.

The burgers at Davis Diamond are really really good.


Does anyone actually LIKE Pepsi more than other drinks? Since they stopped offering lemonade, we just drink water.

We get a pretzel every game. A few games back, the cashier offered a side of vanilla icing and I agreed. Realized after we walked away that they charged $1 or $1.50 extra for it! $1.50 for a little cup of icing is WILD.

Levy is awful.

Don't spend a penny on concessions and eventually Sharp or whoever will get the message.

You mean Levy. The AD didn't sign the deal with Levy, Sharp did. And he's said they are doing a fine job
