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

When did Jerry Jones take over Aggie concessions?


Except the food at his stadium is actually worth the ridiculous prices, best stadium food I have had.

All this concession talk has made me in the mood for some chili cheese dogs with diced onions for today's double header.

Think I will go with Nathan's Frank's. Now which chili is the best on hot dogs???

I remember 50 cent hotdog nights. I used to get the brats or the sausage dog back in the day. I also remember winning 10 pounds of Slovaceck Sausage for guessing the most famous line from Jaws.

Hormel gives me raging heartburn.

For chili dogs, I usually use the HCF chili.

I have never understood why people go to a sporting event to eat. Food is going to be a lot better, and a lot cheaper someplace else before or after a game. Or, buy from somewhere else and bring it to the game.

I agree with others who say Levy is terrible. I have gone to football games at every SWC, Big 12 and SEC location, except KY, have been to conference baseball tournaments in OKC , Hoover, Omaha, both Rosenblatt and Schwab. From my experience, in the event I bought food, the quality was ALWAYS better than Levy.

Of course if you bring kids they will have to have something at the game.
The sad part is that there is a good chance that Levy is providing the service at many of those venues you mentioned.

Oh boy, Oh boy, Coney Island Hot Dogs! Do I love Coneys!

You can make a couple of great Coneys with Wolf Brand Hot Chili. No beans, of course. Homemade chili is always the best for great Coneys, especially if you have a great recipe (which I do), but the Wolf Brand will do in a pinch, especially with a good deal of mustard and chopped onions!

Speaking of mustard, hot mustard is really good on Coneys too! They stopped selling Mister Mustard years ago (Schweinhunds). However, I just found an excellent replacement at HEB. It's called Lowensenf Extra Hot Mustard. It's just as good as Mister Mustard.

Oh yeah, and all beef dogs. Gotta use all beef dogs. Hebrew National are really, really good, but a little more expensive than Nathan's.

Bon Appetit!

So taking our family tonight....trying to decide if we should do an early dinner or have a hotdog at the game....anyone know where i can see the costs of concessions at Blue Bell? Or anyone have any pricing off the top of their heads?

Thanks for the help in advance, and BTHO Georgia may their by a plethora of bubbles this weekend
I was going to purchase a small bottle of water one night and was told the price was $4. I told them to keep it, I could buy a case at the grocery store for $4. I don't go to A&M athletics any longer. !. I'm to damned old, 76, bad knees. 2. ticket prices are bad enough, I'm not going to pay ridiculous concession prices. I can find much better ways to spend my $$$.

Athletics should ditch Levy and design a way for food trucks to drive into the concession area and sell good food at reasonable prices.

I love this idea, support local businesses and better quality food.

I'm sure if Albert's thinks a change is helpful he will let Sharp know and provide sound reasoning.

Our AD is driving people away with $7 hotdogs.

They need to educate themselves on loss leaders

It's not just our athletic department. Concessions were expensive at Bama and are at Vandy. It's mind boggling how high they are - more than some professional arenas.

So we have the number 1 team in the nation and we're complaining about concessions . Seriously .

Most on here were stating facts. I'll gladly pay for concessions - quality concessions.

Levy is not quality.

My point was that I've seen equally high and higher prices at multiple SEC stadiums.
