falcons drop concession prices

[Force16X]

i've always wondered that if concession prices were lower, would fans buy more items , hence making up the difference in the original price drop. this isnt like minor league sports where every dollar matters, professional franchises do rather well despite their claims of being penniless.

Wow. I'm really shocked..........this is serious stuff for a guy bringing a family of four. Big savings.

The free refills is awesome for a family too.

Of course some people are going to take advantage and sneak in their own cup and get it free.

Hats off to Blank, this was a great gesture to the fans.

I just read another article that said the typical family of 4 can eat/drink for 28 bucks. That's hard to beat.

Not sure about currently, but back in the early 2000 he also kept the season ticket prices very reasonable. I always thought that he realized Atlanta is a very transient town and reasonable prices is a great way to get and retain fans.

Wow! Those prices are great!

The Prices may sound great. But in my opinion they are still "Highway Robbery!!"

Wow. That's awesome. Part of the reason I've decided to sell half of my tickets this season is I end up paying $50 or more for tailgating beer, and the few $8.50 beers I drink during the game.

Jerry owns 1/3 of Legends, the company in charge of our concessions, so he could easily do the same. Too bad making money is more important to him than anything. Hats off to Blank and the Falcons organization for doing this, especially at a brand new stadium.

Maybe the Rams will follow-suit and return prices to the "1995" level for their return Season to L.A.!! I don't recall what they where, but they would have to be a lot cheaper!!

Part of the reason......is because you drink the swill of America that masquerades as beer? I'd view that as a reason to drop the beer and keep the tickets.

This is not capitalism. This is outrageous! The Hell are they thinking?

Yes, people, as a whole, will buy more. It's just like taxes. Lower taxes and people will spend more money on other things because they have the money to spend. I promise you the lower the prices on beer, the more that will be consumed. :yess:
