Will Free Concessions Soon Become A Thing At SEC Stadiums?
By Cody McClure
Not trying to get anyone’s hopes up, but they’re at least getting ready to try it at a lower level of college football.
Free concessions.
Coastal Carolina announced yesterday that it will allow fans to eat for free at Chanticleers home football games this fall.
"Our fans are the heartbeat of Teal Nation, and we're always looking for ways to elevate their game day experience," VP of Athletics Chance Miller said. "With the CCU Kickoff Meal Deal, we're excited to offer free concessions this fall as a way to say thank you for the energy, passion and support they bring to Brooks Stadium every game."
This will be a partnership with Aramark that allows fans to acquire four items per concession stand visit. It includes hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and fountain drinks.
And get this — there is no limit to the number of in-game visits!
You can go to a Coastal Carolina game and eat 22 hot dogs, 16 trays of nachos, 19 bags of popcorn, and drink 148 ounces of soda and it won’t cost you a penny.
Tremendous.
Let’s hope this becomes a new trend in college football. Bring it to the SEC. Pave the way for us, Coastal Carolina.
