Re: Food trucks on game day
They park the trucks between the ticket office and the gates and move the fences to surround the trucks. You never have to leave the stadium.

You can leave once your in the stadium, you just need to have your hand stamped to re-enter.

Re: Food trucks on game day
If you leave the stadium to get food from the food truck can you bring it back in if it's inside one of their $20 clear bags?

Re: Food trucks on game day
I was told that the Food Trucks will be offering clear one gallon Ziploc bags for an additional 50 cents to come back in with the food that was just purchased.

Re: Food trucks on game day
I'm not a facilities guy, so I'm just guessing based on past experience, but...
If you look in the photo KC posted, the fences between the concessions stand and ticket office have been removed. The food trucks will park between the two buildings while a temporary fence will be erected around the trucks and between them and the plaza, creating a pocket of trucks within the fenced stadium area. You can enter the stadium and access the trucks from inside.

Re: Food trucks on game day
They've needed to do this for awhile. Hopefully this brings in more trucks, along with more space in between them.

Re: Food trucks on game day
So I have to walk farther away, to a space formerly outside the fence, to get a slice of pizza I used to be able to buy much closer? What's next, they move the food trucks to the west parking lot and they make me walk down the stairs?
Was the conversation like this?
USU Concessions: People are buying food from these food trucks more than our concessions, we gotta do something about that.
USU Facilities: How about me move the food trucks outside? That way our concessions are more convenient than the trucks.
USU Concessions: Uh, maybe people will be mad.
USU Facilities: We'll put up a new fence and advertise it as a special food truck service area. It will be viewed as an improvement.
USU Concessions: Okay, but if it doesn't work, move the trucks to the West and East parking lots so everyone has to hike a bunch of stairs to buy from them.
USU Facilities: Will do.

USU Fans: You know, we have a lot of weather games and it sucks getting food from an over crowded mud slop.

USU Facilities: We can fix that. Let's just move the fence.
USU Fans: That's a fantastic idea! Since there's more space out there anyway, can we get in a few more options while we're at it?

Re: Food trucks on game day
When they did the Press Box construction, I couldn't understand why they put in that patch of grass. They need to fill that with pavers or concrete or something.aceofspadeskb wrote: ↑September 26th, 2019, 11:32 amUSU Fans: You know, we have a lot of weather games and it sucks getting food from an over crowded mud slop.

Re: Food trucks on game day
If you're not willing to walk an extra 100 feet to get your World's Best Corn Dog, I don't know how to help you. Maybe since the ticket office is too far away, we can ask them to park the truck in the tunnel under Section 204?brownjeans wrote: ↑September 26th, 2019, 11:24 amSo I have to walk farther away, to a space formerly outside the fence, to get a slice of pizza I used to be able to buy much closer?

Re: Food trucks on game day
Why not? Just rope off a section some where? If there's a law that say's the'cohol can't be served on a Public Campus, why not the street? Park City allows beer and wine to be sold on their public streets (and parks), I know there's no state law that prohibits it.

Re: Food trucks on game day
Who gets tired of the complaining (rhetorical). Two weeks ago, the complaint was not having enough food or the lines, due to the limiting of food you can bring into the stadium. So USU brings in food trucks and here we are gripping about those. Folks, it's okay. Get there early, eat before the game, sneak the food in you want, try intermittent fasting or deal with what they have for us. It's a great experience to be a part of these games.

Re: Food trucks on game day
I've always been confused as to why fans can't walk the blocked off party area of 800 East on game day with a drink in hand, but can roam the parking lot freely. Why not just open up the street as well? I am sure you'd have more of the folks from the tailgate section wander over there if they could bring their drink,ViAggie wrote: ↑September 26th, 2019, 6:24 pm

Re: Food trucks on game day
New food truck space is for MORE food trucks. And the ones I'm used to haven't moved. I'm sorry.
But they still need to replace the grass with pavers or concrete. Harrumph!
