You Know What Really Grinds My Gears...

..$9 for 2x20 oz bottles of mountain dew at the stadium.  WTF?  I can understand inflated prices for stuff like bb-q, brisket, etc. or hell even a souvenir cup  But this is something that comes in the exact same package that we can buy it in from a store. Its marked up 450%!!!.  Thats just ridiculous.  You cant bring you own poo into the stadium so you are forced to buy it from concessions.

 

 

and yes I understand I can watch the game from home but I rather support the "team" by buying a ticket.  They should support the fans by not raping them on soda.

You need to frequent the tinderbox more. That way you would know that they all hate capitalism, market economics....and that companies should not make a profit.

 

Don't listen to this guy.  He probably thinks $12 for a beer is OK because HE can afford it and doesn't care about anyone else.  He probably doesn't think you work hard enough and that's why you can't buy it.

 

In seriousness though, it is capitalism and that is how the country is ran.  Can you blame them?  It's just business.  Same reason we pay so much for broadband that sucks compared to other countries that pay far less for better quality.  If someone is paying, they'll be selling, and if everyone agrees to sell it for that much, no one is going to break the trend.

I think $12 a beer is absurd. Which is why I drink heavily at the tailgate....bring a water into the stadium...and usually buy one soft drink during the game.

I choose not to pay their price. If everyone does this, the price would drop. Instead , there are people like you....pay the price and then bitch about it on a message board.

They charge the price because they have a captive audience that is willing to pay.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

    • Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
