Howie411 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Anyone else go to the Fedex Field open house last night. The amount of food was insane and all of it tasted amazing. Here are some photos of some of the new food they were showing off. On a side note the Funnel Cakes fries were my favorite. I will definitely need to find out where they will sell these.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Menu sounds delicious and all, but who goes to football games for the fried rice? I get it, they get complaints about the food options in the stadium, they are trying to do something about it. I just wonder who the heck is going to football games for the food variety and the right to overpay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one goes to football games for the food variety and/or affordable cost. But I've read numerous times from Skins fans here and on twitter that the 'meh' food at high prices at FedEx is one of the reasons fans may decide to stay home. It falls under the whole "fan experience at FedEx sucks" criticism umbrella lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might also be the easiest and quickest to fix, though. And it rewards those fans who continue to attend. I think one of Lafemina's first actions was that whole "concession discounts for season ticket holders" thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Thanks for posting pictures of the event. Yeah, every year it seems they try some sort of rollout of new food options. Seems like the Guy Fieri chicken tenders are the item getting a bit of the press from the event last night. Last season there was one game I sat in the 200s and on the way in noticed a stand selling Chinese food and thought it might be interesting. I went to the stand at halftime and it was probably the only time that I'll ever go to a stand in the middle of a game and find nobody else in line. Might have had something to do with their soft drink dispenser being down. The food I got was OK...….aside from the crap I got from the people sitting near me for eating Chinese food at a football game lol. It'll be interesting to see if the Skins go back to getting more tickets into brokers hands and resulting cheaper prices on the secondary market. Lafemina's strategy which did the opposite was a big reason behind the poor attendance last season, IMO. At least they'll have a decent crowd size story coming out of the gate, as the Cowboys game will always be close to a full house. I was almost surprised that it doesn't appear like they took any more seats out, aside from the 300 that are being removed to create the party deck in the east end zone to mirror the one created in the west end zone last season.

I gathered from an article in the WaPo that a lot of the food signs Howie shows in his OP are options for suites. For the regular joe, about the same amount of new items as in years past.

Assumed they were for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnyandSam Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 The poster board that says Concession Items are basically for us riff raff (100, 200, 400 level). The rest are Suites, Loge and Club seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I skipped this one. The one that they had a couple of years ago, with the Riggins "4th & 1" Pilsner was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 They need to stop selling that turf like it’s a feature.
