Upon opening in 2017, Mercedes-Benz Stadium will offer food and beverage options developed to deliver what fans want – variety, speed of service, quality and value. The fan-first menu at Mercedes-Benz Stadium will include the most popular items priced as follows without compromising quality:

$2 – Non-alcoholic beverage products with unlimited free refills (at freestanding refill stations)
$2 – Dasani bottled water; hot dogs; pretzels; popcorn
$3 – Peanuts; pizza; nachos; waffle fries
$5 – 12 oz. domestic beer

...lower than any pro stadium that I know about.

So I guess it was a good job by his agent

Not lil Wayne!

 

[hockeykicker]

What's the punishment if true?

 

[CDJ]

I think anything short of 3 1st round picks and a public execution of John Harbaugh would be rather lenient by Rog

Rog and Biscotti are close buds so I am expecting a meager fine. I mean, Ray Rice hit a women and got 2 games. Ray Lewis got nothing for taking steroids.

Heck the NFL hired their former team president to run the Rice investigation.

So awesome. They are expecting the make up the lost $$ in volume, plus the prices are for all events there.

Apparently the big difference is the aren't giving away the concession rights, they are just hiring a company to run them for them. So they decide prices and just pay said company to run it for them.

They have something like 675 concession stands in the place, which is 60% more than Georgia Dome.

Coke subsidized that deal with the Falcons. "Hey we took $300 million from you fans so have reasonable concessions from Coke!"

 

[hockeykicker]

Yayy

 

[Big McLargehuge]

What's the punishment if true?

Goodell is a Ravens fan...so...Le'Veon Bell gets 4 games.

Good move. I always felt bad for him, his chance came to start and then they were in position to draft a franchise QB.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He's ****ing terrible. Can't fix heavy feet. Slow eyes and zero pocket presence and a slow release. Only drafted because Whisenhunt is a dinosaur and elevated production thanks to OBJ and Jarvis Landry and Jeremy Hill.

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

He is a serviceable backup. Which is what his role will be.

Still wont be punished severely.

Only two of those guys I would take on my team.

Of course it's self identified Native Americans

[InjuredChoker]

The puzzling plummet of RGIII

this is pretty good read.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Its ****ing bizarre. Imagine a young Tom Brady or Joe Montana dictating what plays and what offense they should run? Lol.

 

[Avs_19]

They can't catch a break. Fowler last year and now Ramsey.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Fix your damn field Jaguars.

 

[Voight]

They are cursed.
