Concession Woes

There'll be 5-6000 for Memphis on Feb. 4.

Could just do what I do. Put a package of M&M's in your pocket before you walk in. This has nothing to do the long lines, more to do with not wanting to pay $3 for candy that you can get for under a $1 at 7/11. Not paying $5 for a coke either. Yes I know that I am cheap. But at least I come take up a seat at the games, and it is my own seat not Mrydel seat.

Define "big crowd." The usual 1500-2k people?

For SMU (at this point in time) 3500-4000. Anybody remember the Tech home game of '72?

Just because that is what is announced doesn't necessarily mean that there is actually that many people there.

i noticed there were more concession stands open last night,but parking is still a problem...if,and i doubt it will be true anytime soon,except with memphis,we draw a crowd,there is no apparent plan to assure parking for season ticket holders,except those sitting on the court level....students and smu vehicles are still in the big garage and no indication of control over access...as an aside my seats were occupied by two folks from the development office when i arrived and said they had been told to sit anywhere,that there were no reserved seats ...so there are some facility problems...but my attititude is better after a win..

Yep,

Looks like the message was heard, more concessions open and more ticket windows, hopefully they do not revert back.

I am not too upset with the parking, it is what it is at SMU, just not that much room for cars. Hated that they tore the apartments down just east of Moody, that had been my parking spot for the last twenty years.

There is plenty of angled free parking spots on Dublin, all the way from Moody back South to Mockingbird, that is where I have been parking lately, not too far of a walk.

You are right! No such thing as a $5.00 Coke or $4.00 popcorn.
I raised this issue during football season and got blasted for it.

I did enjoy the game though!
