Super Pit Concourse Construction Complete!

[Pavlovs Eagle]

Figured I'd comment on this, since I've loudly proclaimed how annoyingly long the construction was taking... but I noticed that the ongoing construction on the Concourse at the Super Pit was done at some point in the past few weeks (yes I missed the last two home games before LSUS).

You can now walk all the way around the Pit's concourse again!  And they have snack bars open on each side (no crazy lines today like some earlier preseason OOC games).  

Now, if they'll just open the G or F entrance at the next game for all the Fouts parking people who walk across the Highland St intersection crosswalk.

Pictures or it didn’t happen.

All of this because someone in maintenance doesn't own a calendar.

The concession stands still can’t break a twenty.  
 

And why is the food and drink selection so varied at DATCU and so limited at the Coliseum ?

Are the concession teams university employees? I think most of them are, but I know some places will bring in outside help (for example, an outside team that is fundraising) to run concessions.

I'd guess that on a bad day DATCU has 12,000 and a good day 20,000+ and on a bad day at Coliseum there might be 1,000 and a good day 4,000?  Don't get me wrong I'd love a bigger selection but the reality is that isn't going to happen.

Imagine the concourse exactly as it was before it was closed in portions for two years and you've seen it after the 2 season long construction. No idea what they were doing.  I'd guess it was something like sprinkler system upgrades or other mechanical because they didn't repaint or resign anything.

But they still can't figure out how to open any entrances facing N Texas Blvd even with the construction done. Love walking all the way up Highland to the A entrance. 🙄

You're right on the last part.  They use outside groups that sign up and get a cut for fundraising.
