Free concessions at football games

The Savannah Bananas do this at their home games, too. Just bundle the cost into tickets, essentially.
But it also reduces the staffing needed to run the stands and the lines fly because there's no transactions taking place. For extremely low-cost items like what they're offering, it's a great idea.

They posted about this yesterday. I think it might be legit.
Free fountain drinks at JTS would make me happly! Just bring my liquor shooters in with me.
If ISU did this they would have one stand on each side of the stadium manned by 2 people (4 in total). Unlimited access!
With how slow it is now you'd think it was already like that.
Yeah, in a cool old minor league stadium in Daffin Park in Savannah built a century ago. It's an awesome experience if you ever get a chance. They've expanded it to 5,000 seats recently by adding outfield bleachers.
Although, technically, it's sometimes a home game for Party Animals or Fire Fighters. And this year there's a new Banana Ball team based in Texas. They'll be up to 6 teams next year with an actual playoff structure and Banana Ball World Series. It's amazing how much they've grown.
Obviously trying to generate some attendance with this play. "Free" seems like it will end up in a lot of waste/trash. I'd offer the concessions at a dramatically reduced rate ($1/hot dog) and go from there. But I guess I'm more concerned with the food waste than the people so that's my issue not theirs.
Can't imagine the 'average' fan concession bill is over $10-15/person... and the cost basis of that is maybe $3. Can't imagine this costs them over $5/person.

I don’t know how the Savannah bananas do it. The cost of a ticket to Grayson Stadium is $35 no fees, no taxes, no parking fee
Base concessions Soda Water Popcorn cookies, chips, hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches all free.
We arrived early for a game and the have a party in the pavilion. Before the game even started my family of 5 had loaded up on concessions.
