I wish. The price gouging at events is absurd.

One can wish ..

The menu and pricing model – which will allow a family of four to consume the typical game-day purchases for $28 or less – will be in effect for Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United games, as well as major events at Mercedes-Benz Stadium including the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, SEC Championship Game, the College Football National Championship (2018) and the NCAA Men’s Final Four slated for 2020. The pricing and product offerings will be the same for concerts, conventions and other special events booked at the stadium.

Agree .. he gets it. They charge big bucks to get into the game .. this will make it much more enjoyable to attend!

A thank you to fans and the city that gave his team a free stadium through their tax money.

Especially the beer part.

How sad is it that $5 for a 12 oz domestic beer is considered an unbelievable bargain in today's day and age?

 

[LandArchDawg]

I was thinking along the same lines.

Okay .. there's over a 100 other 'taxpayer funded' stadiums out there. Exactly how many of them have ..

• $2 – Non-alcoholic beverage products with unlimited free refills (at freestanding refill stations)
• $2 – Dasani bottled water; hot dogs; pretzels; popcorn
• $3 – Peanuts; pizza; nachos; waffle fries
• $5 – 12 oz. domestic beer

Easy answer .. ZERO

There's a reason I've gone entire football seasons home and away without purchasing a single concession.

I wish everyone shared your commitment. Sometimes I think people go to games for the distinct reason of buying concessions. There's nothing I hate more than missing a big play because the fatass down the aisle from me is making his third trip to the concession stand to get some nachos.

Whoa there slick I was actually applauding him, but let's be real publicly funded stadiums are some ********.

Titty bar pricing is a bargain.

No kidding. I may get one beverage to dump my pocket flash into. Eat before the game or after to avoid midgame. Making a concession run while the actual game is being played is borderline retarded. Maybe it'd be justifiable during the Croom years.

Nah, a thank you to the fans that paid the drastically higher ticket prices.
