Bring it to every game.
At least after years of it being a problem every since they rebuilt the concourses and concession stands they finally figured out that some of the after game traffic problems can be alleviated if they move the condiment tables up against the closed stands rather than leaving them crosswise out in the middle of the concourse.
Good job, people.
My only gripe about Saturday's game (other than the final outcome) was once again, the slow service at the concession stands on the west side. I think it's past time to no longer staff the stands with volunteers and get more people working. Waiting in line for 25 minutes to get a very salty basket of fried chicken and fries is just too long. And one whole concession area devoted entirely to Walking Tacos. Let's get some fast food experts to run these.
Done ranting. Hoks still suck.
The let's go state chant after getting it tied up was loud on TV. Too bad it got silent very quickly after.
I was one of those. The chicken tenders were a popular item. if i was running things, I'd just have more people working, some doing nothing but pouring sodas, others cranking out burgers, fries, dogs, etc. Get a big inventory ready so when the crowds come up to the counter you can turn them quickly. They had two lines for each cashier. One for new orders, and a second for those of us waiting for our orders.At about the 13 min mark of the 3rd quarter the west concourse was still 100% full waiting in line to get food. That's ridiculous. No wonder everybody leaves at halftime
My wife ran into one of the condiment carts. Those thing should be put away sooner.At least after years of it being a problem every since they rebuilt the concourses and concession stands they finally figured out that some of the after game traffic problems can be alleviated if they move the condiment tables up against the closed stands rather than leaving them crosswise out in the middle of the concourse.

Yeah, like as soon as they close the stand.My wife ran into one of the condiment carts. Those thing should be put away sooner.
sneak in some protein bars or something for the kids.That's what I do.I can appreciate the concept of eating before. Most games, I personally don't need to go to the concession stands, but when we bring our kids they usually will need something to snack on. I tried 3 different times to go get them something and each time stood in a line that didn't move for about 5 minutes before giving up.
Is not being able to grab something to eat the end of the world? No. But it also is a factor you consider when deciding if the experience of being at the game outweighs just watching it at home.
I threw mine up about 10 feet in the air after the obvious PI wasn't called in the third quarter. Luckily I caught it before it could land on top of someone else.It appears that I'm in the minority (based on comments) that doesn't like the towels in the stands. I agree it does look cool with a mass of people doing it together, but I ALWAYS seem to end up right behind somebody that is clueless about others around them and swings their arms wildly and hits me with it. And then forgets what happened 10 minutes ago and does it again at the next "get loud" moment. Or the time some guy thought that it would be a good idea to tie two together and swing it around over their head, totally oblivious...
I'm like a child. If I'm not fed every two hours I get cranky.I know, right? I cannot comprehend people who can't go four hours without eating something.

I think it's a byproduct of having success. Every time I try to park I get annoyed how busy it is then I realize if we had a terrible program, I could park anywhere. Hopefully they can get the staffing to what's appropriate for 60,000+ people.
I always thought we were chanting lets go steak! Sometimes it is weird but always very motivating to me.Maybe the other "state" thought the cheers were for them? I always find that chant amusing when we play KSU or OSU.
Where are there these "volunteers" people speak of? Everyone I know who's worked concessions at Jack Trice have been paid - by Levy or by a sub-vendor.I understand that it is mostly staffed with "volunteers" but there are also 2X as many people to serve now than there was five or so years ago. I know the AD is looking into this and massive improvements are coming. Until then I will skip the concessions and walk to Campustown after the game for a burger, taco or pizza. It's cheaper and better food. I can manage to not eat for three or four hours.
What was the deal Saturday. It took forever to get out. We usually can get out of the lot within 10 minutes (C1/C2) but it took around an hour this week.Speaking of parking... they really need to do better about that staffing that as well.. as well as better egress plans with more control over what places cars can go after games.
