$9 Premio Sausage is just unconscionable
- Thread starter rutgersal
- Start date
Tailgate before. Its pretty simple
(Plus everything has a cost: price of the materials, cost for the equipment for the prep, cost for facility that provides you the finished goods, cost for labor. $9 for a prepared sandwich is justified you cheapskate)

Has anyone else had the cold cheeseburger with 3 potato chips platter for $8???
Those prices are dirt cheap compared to what you pay at NFL games.
$5 can sodas. Sausage sandwiches are about $15 to $20 or more.

Ok. How many other college stadiums have you visited? What were their prices? I'll wait.
thread is equivalent to saying "I WANT EVERYTHING FROM THE GOVERNMENT BUT I WANT TO PAY ZERO TAXES!"
and other classics such as
"I WANT CHEAPER FOOD FOR PENNIES BUT THE EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE PAID $20/HR AND HAVE A PENSION PLAN!"

They give out free clear plastic tote bags outside the Stadium, you can fill it to the brim with great , inexpensive food from home and bring it into the game.. A scintilla of planning the night before (bottled water, food, poncho) makes the game day experience a whole lot better (and less expensive)

That's why the sausage sandwich is only $9 and not $15
I got hungry in the third quarter, but have been avoiding carbs. So I got two cheeseburgers, threw away the buns and the fries. Basically two frozen beef patties and two slices of cheese. An absolute bargain at $16.00. [laughing]
Is the food overpriced? Sure. Is it always overpriced at a stadium? Sure. Has it been that for a long time pretty much everywhere? Sure. Like someone said earlier in the thread, if you don't want to pay for overpriced bad food, bring your own inexpensive good food into the game. Seems like a very easily solved problem.

I'm doing the same thing with carbs. Want to track our weight loss together? :eyes:
We were in the party deck for the Howard game, which had trays of hot and cold food. The burgers were awful. The best item was beef brisket. Not sure if that is available in concessions. Best part of party deck was unlimited soft drinks and water. I think I may have consumed $80 worth of water last week.
Our stadium is one of very few that allow you to bring in outside food. Tailgate before, or bring your $5 footlong with you. If you can't afford to throw money away, don't eat in the stadium. Ive attended damn near every home game for nearly 15 years. I have never once purchased food at Rutgers stadium.
Fewer years, but same for me. It's not the prices. It's the waiting in line and the poor quality. Bring in 3-4 bottles of water on a hot day, and I stay full drinking water.
That's true. I eat when I go to Yankee games or Giants. I don't tailgate for them when I occasionally get tickets. I know going into it that its going to be expensive, and its all just part of the event for me. I don't have kids yet, so its not that big of a deal.
The true reason I never eat at Rutgers events is because the food is terrible. I tailgate for football, but for basketball games, I often leave the game at 9:30 or whenever, absolutely starving, and eat on the way home.
stop buying the food in the stadium. Rutgers has always offered the absolute worst quality food at high prices at both the RAC and the football stadium..far far worse than most arenas and stadiums around the country
just be glad we dont sell flooded taters anymore

Agreed about the burgers; the two I had yesterday were pretty awful. But awful is pretty much what I expect from stadium food.
As for the low-carb thing, I'm not doing it for weight loss as much as for other health reasons. I'm a low-carb convert. Has been shocking how much things like cholesterol, blood sugar, etc. have improved while eating a very high fat diet, very low-carb diet. And yeah, weight loss is inevitable - and I eat tons.
Not to hijack this thread, but pretty much same reason for us (me and my wife). We have gone to the ketogenic diet. After the game, we ate at Woody's in Sea Bright, where they serve you a bowl of chips and salsa. I exercised great restraint in having a single chip. The benefits of a ketogenic diet on blood readings and cholesterol are numerous. And you will not find many items on the stadiums concessions menu that fit the diet, which is another reason to skip the food altogether.
Didn't you get enough food at your tailgate?
I ate some bacon and blueberries and strawberries at the tailgate while watching everybody else scarf down french toast, cinnamon buns, danish, etc. I meant to bring along some left-over grilled pork loin from dinner the night before, but forgot.
An interesting side-effect of not eating carbs is that I almost never get really hungry. I feel hunger, but it's not nearly as urgent as it used to be. So I sometimes forget to eat as much as I should. Caught up with me in the third quarter, but was easily solved w/the bun-less burgers.
Somehow, they never factor in the profit-margin when discounting things. So I would only have gotten .5 cents off. $15.90 instead of $16.00. LOL
Have they renamed them to remove the reference to our former coach?
If they called them Flood Haters, they would sell out in the first quarter.
Interesting enough there is a Premio sausage truck across from the Fat Sandwich truck. They charge only $5.00!
Al - your own sausage always seems smaller as compared to others.

The booth behind 133 always has hot burgers and warm chips.
The Rugby team mans that booth.
This is why people tailgate. You can buy considerably higher quality sausage, and a lot more of it, from your local supermarket. Nobody's forcing you to buy overpriced half-cooked spooge at the stadium.
I don't mind overpaying for average quality food. I do think it's an issue when the food is overpriced and poor quality. I had a hot dog, and it had an orange tint and the bun was stale and hard as a rock. I almost returned it and asked for a refund. It was that bad.
I remember having really good food at the Carrier Dome a few years ago. It is possible to do it. My hometown high school stadium can make a decent hot dog. It's not rocket science.

They sell those flooded taters but they are called something else. I tried the pulled pork samich last week with cole slaw. It was pretty big and satisfying for $7.
