Stadium food

[Renard904]

Had the Domino's personal pizza a few years back and my wife says that it tastes like the school pizza from back in elementary.

Now, I just buy fountain drinks just so I can get the commemorative cups. My house are full of them. Those and them damn posters that they give out at every game.

For as long as I can remember the food has been inedible at that stadium for a zillion years, which is why I have not eaten anything there in years. Goes with the entire place. it is a dump and needs to be torn down.

Just want to be clear here - you want the Swamp to be torn down?

Won't happen. Too many tens of millions literally poured on top of the decrepit old frame.

That guy is still your friend after the weekend? I heard horror stories.

To err is human, etc., etc.

Heard on Jax radio that they are planning on reducing seating capacity. Is that true?

Good question. A modern expandable facility, seating about 75K with all the bells and whistles, might not be a bad idea. If I ever win one of the billion dollar lotteries that seem to be the new norm, I'll gladly foot the bill! And you're all invited to the Grand Opening wing-ding! Assuming, of course, that a billion will get it done. Might need two billion.

Via replacing bleachers with regular seating IIRC. I believe that was posted here a few months ago.

These days, a billion would likely not get it done.

These regents could slap a 2-cent Gator sales tax on everything north of Orlando and east of Tallahassee. That'll pay for it.

In 50 years.

$5 lemonade is a marquee item.

I got a funny story for you guys: It was 2010 and I was a Freshman at UF. Anyway, it was the week before the UF-USF game in the Swamp when my dad told me and my girlfriend he was going to drive down and stay with us while he went to see some clients (he's a financial adviser) of his in Orlando. He also said he would go to the game with us as well. So, Friday comes and my dad arrives in Gainesville about 5PM, drops his stuff off, and then heads down to Orlando to meet one of his clients. He arrives back at our place around 3AM and tells us that his client served him "many" scotches during their "meeting". Needless to say he's hammered and goes to sleep. He wakes up the next morning with one of the worst hangovers in his life but for some reason still decides to go to the game with us for some reason. Now let me say, that is still the hottest Gator game I've been to before or after, so my dad was near the brink of puking his guts out and the heat didn't help. During halftime, I went to the concession to get him some nachos to maybe help him feel better, they were so bad that he took off running into the bathroom to throw up mercilessly. We found him four hours later in the car half conscious

Sooooooooo, that's funny?


You didn't even go looking for him?

Well, we are building a 50 million baseball stadium with plenty of amenities for all 50 fans.

I bought a big pretzel there, figuring that was safe. But they managed to screw even that up. It was chewy, partially cold and not done.

That's one way to get million-dollar fans.

I don't see that happening. Just pray for an eventual renovation.

I used to frequent the Newberry’s BBQ stand in the North Endzone. Good BBQ pork sandwiches and crinkle cut fries.

It was free standing, not built in.

Damn thing disappeared.

you need to show up every week, support that team like crazy no matter how bad the product is, and buy and eat extremely overpriced and awful tasting concessions, no matter how much you dislike them.

at least that's what the UAA, the coaches, and the media will tell you.

We probably passed by each other numerous time. Those sliced beef sandwiches were the best meal in the stadium. Everything else sucks.
