Food At regional

Originally posted by Katie Reynolds
Yeah, at Midwest Regional last year, they were kind of picky about you bringing food into the venue. They really wanted teams to buy the food that they were selling there.

Thats why we kept food in coolers in our trailer outside the venue. When it was time for lunch, we went in "shifts" ate lunch outside in the back of the pickup truck that pulled our trailer

If you guys want to bring food in just put in under a buch of team shirts in a box or crate so if someone looks in when you first get there tey will se shirts.

You could always ship you bagels with the bot.

I want a bagel. That is so cool.

Hehe.... we smuggled pop into the Midwest regional. They yelled at us the first time, so the second time we put cans in our cargo pockets. 2 of us brought in 15 cans. I'm surprised noone noticed our full pockets...

Pop???????

it looks like a bagel cut in half but its made out of fabric and stuffed and you can seperate the layers. it also have fake cream cheese on the inside (other bagels had other fillings) and the top has eyes on it. its really cool!

we do everything with bagels its we got some that were stuffed from Mary Meyers and others that you could eat from Noahs bagels, a very generous bunch down there at noah's bagels ... thosuands of bagels.

Sometimes too many ...lol

Hey guys...I work at the venue that the NH regional is being held at....and I guarentee they will not let you bring in your own food...they are really stuck up about that...

oh...not sure if they are going to do this, but i know at all the events we have, we take the caps off the waters and bottled sodas....sooooo...bring your own caps from home...seriously...no lie....

and the food is kinda expensive...but they were talking about making it cheaper because its a mostly teenager event..but who knows...

Well, I know at the GLR, they didn't care. We brought 2-3 boxes of Krispy Kreme Donughts/day for the comptitions.

Only 2-3 boxes of Krispy Kremes per day? Man, if I did that, my very next question would be "what am I going to do for LUNCH?"

have any bagel pets left? could you ship one to me? my team would love that.... we spent the entire nationals laughing at ducks because one sounded like it said aflack... what we could do with a bagel: oh the possibilities

Food at regionals= slightly better than airline food and the trash they feed to inmates that pigs reject.( well... its not quite that bad...)

Can you say price gouging? I paid like 3 or 4 dollars for a snickers at SVR. they didnt have any real food worth eating, so we went over to the student union, which was very reasonable, and had some edible food.

At the Canadian Regional last year the security people freaked at us when we tried to bring in take-out food. (they want you to buy the over-priced food they sell on site).

Bringing take-out could be an issue, but just like little snacks, I would be surprised if they really cared.

Yeah, I remember at the Canadian regional that our team financial/trip manager went out to get us 30 Subways. Upon returning, we all had to sit out in front before the entrance to eat them as the people there seemed to get really pissed off when we didn't buy their $5 french fries or the like. I'm going to smuggle stuff in this year in our control box which I'm building... has lots of internal storage space

[Wetzel]

The food is part of the rental price consideration.
And sponsership.
If I recall correctly, at VCU we could bring in Pepsi, but not Coke products. Brand awareness is a big deal.

Anywho...who needs anything but broken gears and some oil.
