Wondering if anyone else has noticed this or if it’s just our section. The quality of the concessions so far this season are lacking. On the way to my seat, about 30 minutes before kickoff, I stopped and got a water and a hotdog. The water was warm and the hot dog was cold. The same at the App State game. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

That's been my only gripe ever with going to games. The concessions definitely need to hit the portal and bring in the good cuisine.

It’s been noticed. It’s honestly pretty awful everywhere now, service and quality.

The Braves and the Falcons here in Atlanta have really good concessions. It can be done.

Every stadium needs to steal the Mercedes dome concession playbook. I’ve seen Clemson play there several times and they have it figured out.
CHEAP prices, fairly streamlined lines and free refills on sodas. I am sold on that place.
Just spitballing, but I am not opposed of putting a roof Death Valley and cranking up the AC. The dome felt great at the UGA game!!

Yesterday would have helped. Practically the whole vistitor side hit the portal at halftime. The sun was brutal. Maybe a retractable sun shade lol.

The home side thinned out drastically too.
I was on visitors side , top deck , sun was brutal like you said. I managed to stay till the start of the fourth quarter. I had enough of that sun by then.

Went to the Gophers game last night. Concessions were great and they serve beer etc. Honestly has a pro feel. The stadium is newer though.

The scanners at the gate work fine if you have an Apple phone. For those of us who have a different platform (Android for me) the scanners work about one game a year. The ticket taker just tries once or twice and them just waves me in. My father in law (84YO) needs a primer every game to get his ticket on his phone. It's a total pain in the A$$. I have suggested to IPTAY to offer paper tickets to those that need them and would be willing to pay a premium to have them printed. Makes it a ton easier to disperse tickets right before game time when your college-age daughter finally figures out who's going to use the extra tickets. Thanks for allowing my rant!

The seats are adjustable. Pull the bottom of the seat forward. We didn’t realize this the first game either. I don’t sit in my seat enough for it to matter but my wife said it helps.

Fountain drinks in too large of cups that go flat and watered down quickly
Hot dogs that are watery and small
Basic nachos with a small bag of chips
Pretzels that are often either too hard or not salted enough

wife bought me a couple of waters yesterday, but she does not make every game as I do. I generally bought at least one item at every home game the last 50 years. I guess they don't miss that revenue. More power to 'em.

Would make for better catering than the trash Aramark is peddling at games. The best food ever served at the stadium was the Papa John’s pizza party our first year in the playoffs, so it’s a low bar

Same. Not sure why people can’t go a few hours without eating or drinking. They probably just spent the last couple of hours stuffing their face at the tailgate.

Clemson is locked into a contract with Aramark. I imagine someone got a nice kickback for that. It's basically prison food.

Hire Chick-Fil-A to run concessions! There service is by far the best of all fast food restaurants. No other fast food joint comes close!

It's sad when you go to smaller stadium at a place like Liberty and you can get CFA sandwiches, food trucks with things like BBQ, small pizzas, Mexican items and higher end coffees then see what the offerings are at DV.

Aramark has an exclusive contract. Clemson would get sued if they allowed other vendors to sell food at sporting events. Maybe our fans could make some noise about it in 2027 when the contract expires. It'd be great to have food trucks outside and a CFA and other options in the stadium.

They had a few options in the concourse behind the west end zone. One stand was selling different cookies another had macaroni and cheese with bbg and other options.

Get my fill at pre game tailgates and last until post game. This last game gave my kids money to get waters and a coke as it was really warm. By the time they got back, the water was still cool. Granted it was really hot in stadium, but it did its job.
