Now I think the next Redszone mission is to solicit investors to open a Chipotle across from GABP.

Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
Maybe it can be incorporated into the "banks" project that will be right next door to GABP. Since BC is in charge of that project maybe we can loby him directly with the Chipotle/Reds tie in?
Have you ever tried the double-deckers at the Red Squirrel on the way to the game? They are HUGE and DELICIOUS! TM and I sometimes take them in and one is ample for the two of us (sometimes too much).Originally Posted by NastyBoy
Last year in Sarasota, I tried to take in a frozen bottle of water (it was sealed but I had thrown it in the freezer). They made me chuck it at the gate.... even though I knew darn well it would be thawed in about 30 minutes or less.
I don't know if they would have allowed it if it wasn't frozen; they didn't say and I didn't ask.

Yesterday I took in 2 semi-frozen bottles of water (unsealed) into the game... no problem. I would assume that Ed Smith Stadium is considered a minor league facility so outside food and drinks are not allowed. Luckily for those of us who go to the minor league games most of the concessions are lower in price (don't know about beer) than in the majors. Dayton has a very good assortment of food + they sell Coke products...

Those double deckers sound pretty good, may have to check it out. I have frozen my drinks on a hot day and put them in a plastic bag with my food.Originally Posted by TeamBoone
Park for free downtown on the street. Bring your own snacky food. Buy a $5 ticket and you have a cheap day at the ballyard. On weekday games, I will get downtown about 5:45, at 6:00 you are allowed park on the streets. I never pay for parking if I dont have to.

or better yet eat beforehand. Yesterday I had breakfast at Bob Evans and a frappuccino at Starbucks before going to the game with my drinks. For those that live in NKY - went to Crestview Hills Town Center - very nice (went to the Starbucks) - off of I-275.Originally Posted by NastyBoy

Just got back from Cincy and I have to say the service was the worst I have ever seen. Charitable contributions or not, when you miss over 2 innings to be on line for a hot dog they have to do something about it.
Not only that, but the amount of money the organization gets is usually less than minimum wage when you consider all the time it takes to set up, clean up, etc. Maybe it's different with the Reds, but I ran a concession stand for a charity at a Division 1 football stadium, and our charity's cut was typically about 2.90/hour for each worker we had.Originally Posted by Caveat Emperor
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
My wife and I have worked both the Reds and Bengals games in the food stands. Generally speaking, I thought the groups we've done it with (knothole baseball, soccer, band) have done a darn fine job.
We usually sort out pretty quickly who does what. Having been a grill cook in a previous life, I usually get banished to the back to prepare food. The women usually take orders. We generally get a 5 minute spiel from a food service person as to how the booth works. Mostly, being college graduates and all, we figure it out pretty quickly. And most of us have already worked concession stands as sports or band parents (HS football games are great training grounds).
IMNSHO, I think we do a better job than the "professionals" I see there. Poor service may result when you get a booth where the people have just gotten there and are still sorting it out.
The hardest one was when I manned a beer booth at a September Bengals game where the temps hit 90. We basically had the taps running in a continuous flow from an hour before kickoff till the beer cut-off sometime in the 4th quarter.
