Stadium Discussion

...ordering from your seat is nice, especially with kids.

It sounds like you are tired of your niece and nephew bossing you around and making you go to get them popcorn.

You have to play with the pricing -- yours was an extreme and unlikely scenario as the club has built the hot dog subsidy into the price of the club tickets and not many people spend time in both areas over the course of a game.

Concession food profit margins are ridiculous, so you don't need a huge bump in sales. The profit dollars (not margin) on 2 dogs sold at $4 is significantly higher than 1 dog at $6 and there are a lot of people (esp families) that will spend a lot more with that kind of break. You also can tier the pricing -- sell premium crap to those that want it and barebones crap to those who want it.

If you experiment with the pricing and get it right, you can drive higher profit dollars for sure.

The markup on soda, beer, and water is insane. Fountain drinks are obscenely priced compared to the markup on edible food (which is also ridiculous per your post).

There is a gorgeous cocktail bar behind the scoreboard at Oracle Park in San Francisco where the Giants play. How can we work one of these into a new stadium

Fenway too

Is this a credible twitterer or just some random person who used the hashtag?

I know brenda personally, she’s a super fan

She’s been around a long time

Uh, we don't do community board elections. Plus a full ULURP would take longer than that. That timeline could hypothetically be accurate though if there's an announcement and start of the process in June though, so there's that.

Never underestimate the ability of BdB to screw everything up. Ugh.

I believe that she is just tweeting a follow-up update from the poster I republished earlier in the week from the FB Supporters Page. I won’t give his name as that’s technically a private page, and in any event, I don’t know him personally so I can’t add any flavor as to credibility, etc.

Don't believe anyone's lies. Y'all are lying until an announcement is made.

The profit margin on fountain soda and popcorn is, for all intents and purposes, 100%. That's why they give you double the amount for $1 more. The cost to freeze the ice and the cup is probably more than the cost of the syrup.

As we've witnessed in other markets, an announcement barely moves the odds higher. I'm waiting for the groundbreaking!

Good call because he actually asked for his name not to be included in her twitter post.

Also unsure as to his credibility
