Verizon Wireless Arena and the No Outside Food Policy

The average lunch was about $8.50. This although very high, is reasonable that they charge this amount.

However, I don't feel they are in their rights in saying we could not bring outside food in for the following reasons:

1. The concessions were open for a limited amount of time. I believe they were only open from 9am until 2pm. I'm not sure but I tried getting a pepsi about 3 on Friday and found them closed. You can't expect people to go withough food and drink for hours. It's just riddiculous.

2. There was only 1 concession open even during peak times. I went for lunch at 12pm on Saturday and waited in a 30 minute line. How are we expected to make repairs to our robot when we practicly have to plan 50 minues for being able to eat. Some of us have real schedules to adhere with, my breaks were practicly timed. Paying almost $10 for a meal and waiting in a 30 minute line for it is- just riddiculous.
