New Concession stands

[Eastoff]

I almost forgot to share my knowledge from fanfest. It looks like the new partners (FotM, HL, Bunk, KB) each have their own individual concession stands (ie they took over the places that used to sell the food and drinks). At each one, they only sells their own stores food plus soda/beer maybe some pretzels or something. I'm guessing there are probably 2 or 3 of each restaurant/concession. The pizza was excellent, and tasted only slightly heatlamp dry.

Prices?

Prices?

We got two slices of Pepperoni, and they were 6$ each. Considering at the shop, it's about 3.5$ last I checked, I think it's expected. I believe the FotM chicken wings were a little closer to their true prices, and not so inflated. Those were the only prices I could even compare for you.

Are we talking monster size slices or tiny slices?

Glad to hear that they aren't just doing carts but actually took over some of the places that sell dogs, nachos and salty popcorn. Those places were a waste of space in my mind and the people serving were volunteers for different organizations who were always nice but a bit clueless with products and working the cashier.

I'm excited to try all the new places . . . although eating chicken wings at my seat seems like more work than it is worth.

That's like airport prices. Just be thankful there's no sales tax. I paid $10 for for a slice of pizza and a water bottle in Toronto last week.

Is the pizza price any worse than the beer prices? High priced food and drinks go with the territory of being located at a professional sporting event.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Looks big to me. Not bad. $6 for a big slice is to be expected.

I'd rather just buy a $5 pepperoni from papa Murphy's before the game and chow down on a full pizza though

at London Heathrow, 2 burgers, 2 cokes and an order of chicken wings = $90. :MARIS61:

I wish people wouldn't pay it. It's highway robbery. The only reason they're able to charge such high prices is because people will actually pay them.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

$6 for a slice of pizza is a straight up jack move.

Usually just get nachos at games....chili cheese nachos with orange cheese = the bomb diggy. Dunno if I'd bother with wings, it'd be hard to eat in the seats, probably just go with a Bunk Sandwhich if they're good enough.

I remember some dude filing a class action suit against a movie theatre chain about a year or so ago. They make something like $3000 for a bag of unpopped popcorn that costs then $30

Don't make this about the Blazers. It's everywhere in entertainment

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

What I like about PDX is that they don't allow vendors to jack up the prices on food/beverages there. Totally reasonable and decent options there.

You pay for the atmosphere . . .

People come to the Moda Center for the atmosphere.....and the attitude!

Of course it is. Doesn't make it any better. It's supposed to be a family environment. This applies to movie theaters as well. I just don't understand why people pay it.

I pay for the game. They're basically extorting the extra money out of you because you can't bring in outside food or drink.

Same reason people pay to go to those events.

Game prices are reasonable. Food/drink prices are most definitely not.

I had a killer burger for 10 bucks... But it was really good

That's not pizza. That's cheesy bread with the dipping sauce placed under the cheese for convenience.

Pizza has dead animal flesh on it.

Which is pretty close to what they charge at the restaurants.

I'm sure the servers leave a little something on the pizza.

It costs way more to sell food at a sporting event. They only have a 3 hour window to do all their sales compared to a normal location that has 12 hours in a day 7 days a week.

Consumers feel its worth the benefit so they pay the cost. It'd be silly for the team to charge less the lines would be even more insane than they are.

Was at the game tonight. Fire on the mountain had 6 wings for 9.75 and 12 wings for 15. Bunk sandwiches were $12 for the Cubano and 12 for the meatball. Didn't see the other stuff.
