Same policy as for the michigan game.Scanned through twice. Didn't see anything about not bringing in any food.
That settles it. I'm bringing in a whole filet mignon. Just gonna nibble at it in my seat all game long.
Yet, something different was enforced on game day.Same policy as for the michigan game.

Lack of consistency.in the email that Rutgers sent for the game last week it specifically said "no outside food". I know I was asked about food at the gate as well. That information, however, was not on the website.
Well, regardless of the policy, I'm sticking the filet down my pants and if security asks me what the large bulge going down my leg is, I'll just tell 'em the truth: it's my big meat.
If it's a cute female security guard, I'll probably offer to share it with her.
What could possibly go wrong?
True. Although I have to risk it. No way I would kill a nice piece of beef like that. I will, however, sear the outside - don't want e-coli all over my big meat.make sure it is well done. I would hate to see red juice flowing down your pant leg...
Please do not shoot the messenger:
I just hung up with Geoff Brown who called me to discuss the stadium rules. from our conversation:
- RPD has requested no outside food or bottles for safety reasons. The bombings in NJ and Manhattan were cited as the specific reason
- when I brought up MetLife allowing outside stuff it was pointed out that they have metal detectors
- Pat Hobbs is aware of how distressed the fans are about this but the request is coming from police and security.
- He was not aware that the food policy was not on the website and will have that adjusted for the next home game
- Apparently there are signs about the food/water policy in the planters outside the stadium (I was unaware). he is going to look into getting more in other locations
- they are also going to look at getting the bag policy out to people. while the season ticket holders might know the policy it seems a lot of other people don't and don't bother looking at the website.
RPD is a fully qualified police force, and going back to my time at Rutgers, I thought they did a fine job. They are far more than night watchpersons on campus.Great post Mrs Screw. You have addressed the issues raised in this thread. Thank you for the follow up.
BTW is RPD = Rutgers Police Dept, that well known Keystone Cops organization that historically have acted as little more than night watchmen on campus ?
So the RPD has "requested" that no outside food or bottles be brought into the stadium for safety reasons since they don't have metal detectors at the entrances ? That request from RPD is driving the decision to ban all outside food and water based on unknown safety concerns ?
And it seems like Hobbs was not totally aware of the issues with the food and drink policies before reading your email ?
It sounds to me like RPD is taking one for the team here since Sodexo is not reaching their revenue goals for concessions under the current contract.
Folks, I believe that we are getting the run around here and Hobbs is not willing to take the issue head on and directly communicate with the fan base about it. Bad job by RU, IMHO.
Can you call Geoff back & ask him about the horse video?
i have to agree with you, they're hoping for to force the fans to over pay at the concession stands, this is not a waay to make this program fan friendly, lets just see how many fannies are there for homecoming. if this keeps up we will be the temple of the big 10Great post Mrs Screw.

After 38k show up tomorrow there will be mandatory concession purchases per ticket implemented for the last 2 games.
exactly. Sodexho hits its targets for concessions sold, Rutgers hits its targets for student turnout. Hobbs knows how to grease the wheels, and if it takes giving out $80,000 in student freebies to hit the Sodexho's revenue targets & squeeze an extra million out of them, then that's how it works.There has to be a reason why Hobbs is offering $10 concession credits to students who show up a half hour early... so they can spend a little more and Sodexo could earn a tiny bit more revenue.

If Sodexo provided better food at the concession stands their sales would increase.Great post Mrs Screw. You have addressed the issues raised in this thread. Thank you for the follow up.
