According to the #MeToo movement, questioning my trauma is akin to making me relive my traumaI'm calling BS on that.
Not sure what else to say. It took half an hour to get a beer at TCU last year

Well, in SMU's defense, they are not used to large crowds on game day. And who could have predicted a high demand for water on a sunny day with temps near 100?
LOL. I hope you never attended a game in Fort Worth last year. Maybe you shouldn’t leave your house?It was not funny on any level.
Heat was dangerous and a $10 bottle of cold water was unattainable
SorryWalked in 15 minutes before kickoff and had no trouble. Had to wait a few seconds because the guy in front of me couldn't find his ticket on his phone.
I just didn't see all these problems getting in.Sorry
Maybe but this has been a problem for many years now. Concession lines, not enough water, parking is brutal, lines to get into the stadium, problems with ticket office. It starts at the top down to make sure everything runs like it should.
I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes for a drink/beer at any home game.
I'll never understand why events and venues don't create separate lines for specific and high demand items. Have a line where all you can buy is water, so there's no time spent looking at the menu to decide what you want. Get people through at the speed of light. Want something else, get in the long line.I just didn't see all these problems getting in.
Now the lines at the few concession stands they had on the visitors side were awful.
That and include a preorder line and make it so you can buy some of those basic things from your phone before you get to the concessions stand.I'll never understand why events and venues don't create separate lines for specific and high demand items.

Denial is a soothing balm, so keep telling yourself that.It was no different in Fort Worth last year.
Very small TVs. Like the rest of the stadium and it’s operation…small time. You can tell that the smu administration could give two [ Finebaum ]s about their football program. small time since their death death penalty, and will continue to be so. With that facility and that attitude smu should NEVER be considered for a P5 conference…It was hot and a lot of fans were under the stand watching TVs
Owenby was hot garbage.It’s been crappy since George H W Bush to my certain knowledge
Didn’t go yesterday, but it’s hard to imagine concessions being more of a cluster than the Oregon game. Missed the second quarter in line getting a beer. We had just scored before I got back to the seats so my wife and @Tom Brown made me stay in the concourse to not change the mojo.Question for the Crowd: Which was worse in terms of concessions? 2015 Alamo Bowl, or yesterday's game?
The Tech people were calling Amon Carter stadium second rate also after that game.Did you miss the 2006 Tech game?
September 2006 was brutal and all the big time programs in Texas fixed concession and water problems back then. If I recall correctly, the fixes actually started with Aggies and bringing in unopened water bottles. While we had to rebuild AGCS to get rid of the piss saunas that were the old restrooms, we did fix the other problems way back then.
Excuse me, but at TCU v SMU in 2021 I was able to go and get food and drinks within the three minutes and twenty second commercial breaks between the 1st and 2nd quarters. Your POS stadium took 20+ times longer. When there are 10x as many people as normal for one of your home games, I guess this is understandable. After 2024, I believe we're done with Ford Stadium.It was no different in Fort Worth last year.
The key to yesterday being worse, is running out of water in 96 degree heat versus 72 degree Alamodome.Didn’t go yesterday, but it’s hard to imagine concessions being more of a cluster than the Oregon game.

Not to mention refill your water bottle at the fill stations conveniently located all over the stadiumExcuse me, but at TCU v SMU in 2021 I was able to go and get food and drinks within the three minutes and twenty second commercial breaks between the 1st and 2nd quarters.

Yesterday for sureQuestion for the Crowd: Which was worse in terms of concessions? 2015 Alamo Bowl, or yesterday's game?
