This is spilling into the thread that was split off - these venues that FIRST uses for 9am to ~7PM 3 day events are normally used for 2.5 hr basketball games or other short duration programs.
I like hot dogs - I have no problem nibbling on a $4 hot dog for a snack between meals every once in a while, if I have 3 decent meals and the rest of my day I can follow my normal eating habits
but if I am 'stuck' in a building for 10 hours a day, 3 days in a row, then typical conscession stand food doenst cut it - not even close.
When I goto a movie I have no sense of guilt whatsoever if I walk in with a bag of M&Ms in my pocket - or not. Its a 90 minute movie - no big deal.
But I know I can buy a pound of M&Ms at Wegmans for $2.50, or I can buy a 1 oz bag of M&Ms at a regional for $1 - and Im going to be there for 3 days....
Hmmmmm....... 6.4 times the price per pound at the event... what to do, what to do?
