Concessions Issue Last Week?

[C-Paranoia]

I was not at the ISU game. I saw an allusion to concessions in a thank-you to students tweet, and I see this teaser:

"Burke apologizes for concessions issues - GoldandBlack.com ($)"​

I am going to guess they ran out of water or mixers on a hot day. Maybe there were long lines. Was this a non-issue, or a less than hearty apology, for Burke to respond behind a paywall?

I sit in the SEZ and with the removal of most of the seats and the patio, concessions are no longer any issue for the most part. Sort of wondered what may have been going on in the main stands, it was a decent turnout, but shouldn't have caused major issues, I wouldn't think.

Now in the SEZ, you can just expect they'll be out of coffee & hot cocoa the first game where the temps drop. Similar to when they introduced the "bottomless" options and ran out of popcorn in the SEZ.

What I saw was I stood in line forever to get a coke, this was while the game was being played, I thought I would go then to avoid halftime crowd, why so slow I have no idea.

The concession stands were only half opened. Out of the 10 or so registers, only 5 were open. The people Purdue has a contract with undermanned the whole thing. People were waiting around 20 minutes in line. Burke said the issue will be resolved and is not to be tolerated.

Really, Morgan contracted with an outfit that tried to do it on the cheap w/o regard for the fans' experience?! No, I can't believe it?!

Would you really expect anything else, seriously.

I believe they've been doing our concessions for decades.

I have a CONCESSION to make:

I'll concede Captain Morgan isn't even qualified to run a kid's lemonade stand, let alone a B1G university's athletic department.

AND

They should probably go back to the local boy scouts selling drinks from a tray (and swatting bees).

I like when the ROTC students brought you your mixers right to your seat!

Good news!!! After yesterday there will be no long lines at concession stands the rest of the season. You can write a thank you letter to MB for that!!!

My personal favorite was when they were handing out the 2011 Football Schedule cups - at the 2012 season opener. No joke.
A classic

Dry the buns and throw them in the freezer. They'll come in handy when you make dressing to go with the Thanksgiving turkey as opposed to the Purdue Turkey that they were bought for. Chips can be mashed up and fed to the birds. Or you could serve them at the next BOT meeting.

From what I have heard, massive problems again with concessions during the VT game. Long lines and running out of popcorn in the third quarter and many concessions not even opened.

Should not be an issue next week!

THAT should be a continual theme going forward.

Too bad if the concessions were a problem again. If the team is not doing very well, at least the game day experience should be painless.
