At $3 for a soft drink, $3 for a bottle of water, $5 for a slice of pizza, $5 for nachos and volunteers running the booths as a fundraiser, I'm not sure how anyone could NOT make money on vending at games. Many high schools have this worked out very well. Although, it doesn't involve a university bureaucracy.

I refuse to purchase anything from the concession after the last time when I purchased one popcorn that was stale and a soft drink that came in a non-recyclable plastic cup. $6.50. O'Bettys, Jackie O's, Shagbark popcorn, as was mentioned, would get me back there. But you can sneak water (or whatever) in easily if you are a male as they only search women.

I agree on the UD Arena. I would not really count it as a 60s arena as like my ex born Dec 28 1869 is not a child of the 60's....but your point is well taken. Ted can probably tell us more about the upgrades that have taken place the last few year. I am in there a couple of times a year for HS games and the WGI world championships. Always a good time with great sightlines and atmosphere...even back when i saw Elton John there in the early 70's. Playing on that old Tartan floor was brutal though.
