What would you rather have at a game?

Postby Chesty_01 » Mon Dec 13, 2010 5:34 pm

I am curious what people would rather have at a game?

Hot food and a higher admission price.......or

No food and a lower admission price?

Depends on the cost difference.

Is it cold outside? Little things can make a big difference like an area for shelter and warmth and warm beverages.

Are there some games that charge an extra $5 for food and give you a luke warm hot dog and a glass of gatorade from a jug? Maybe that's not worth it.

I'd pay an extra $10 for a salmon feed, but it should be enough food for a reasonable person to at least go away no longer hungry.

The convenience of having food at a game is really nice, however if it isn't done properly one could easily feel cheated.

$5 added to the admission should lend enough money to give a filling meal to a crowd. I wouldn't attend a game that had $5+ tacked on to the admission price. But like I said it is very nice to have a fresh burger right there rather than a small sandwich I made at home the night before.

However if the game is already priced at $25, do I want to pay an extra $5 for food...no

You can do what the airlines do. Cheap game, but tack on prices for every little thing like food. A la cart.

Then you can do what games like facebook apps do and have people pay extra money to get better hit rules or get better spawn locations. :P

I prefer no food, and no break. The second half of most big games seems to usually be sub par due to the fact that everyone is full from eating.

Do you think everyone would be more motivated the second half of a game if they were starving?

Meals would be nice to have at a game, since it's just one less thing to have to take care of myself. I would pay the extra 5$ as long as it was a good sized meal. Also, feeding everyone in bulk is cheaper than everyone buying their own smaller portions themselves.

Define 'hot food'. BBQ: Burgers/brauts, yes. Pizza, no.
I'd pay an extra $5 or $10 for the PITA factor of a promoter dealing with it. Remember, it's not just cost of food, but someone tracking the number of attendees, driving to buy food & condiments, taking the time to start cooking BEFORE lunch break, the inevitable post-lunch cleanup, etc etc.

I usually bring my own food because I need to eat a lot and often at games. I usually have 3 sandwiches and some granola bars, that's what I use my EMT pouch for.

So I would say, no food, and low prices.

No food and no scheduled lunch breaks. Usually bring my own, as I usually graze throughout the day. Plus, as has been said, lunch breaks kill the realism. I've eaten plenty of lunches while sitting in respawn reloading magazines, and feel kind of silly when I'm told to stop attacking something because it's lunch time. Force commanders to plan for R&R as part of their plan of the day.
