Feel like there's a citation needed on that one.

But if they're leaning into it that's all pretty cheap stuff to make, it's just foreign to about every other stadium as far as I can tell.

Doubt more expensive concessions is going into the pockets of the workers. At least some people besides billionaires benefit from this (obv ideally pay them well and have concessions be cheap but america/capitalism/hellscape/etc)

Maybe not directly but I doubt the prices would be that low if concession workers in Georgia weren't making on average 5 dollars less per hour than workers in California. It's only fair if dumbass fans are comparing it to dodger dogs or whatever the gently caress.

Haven’t personally verified but do know the owner makes a point of having concessions be relatively cheap. Comes up in the jon bois falcon series maybe? idk where else i’d learn mercedes benz stadium concession pricing

Should those fans also factor in cost of living of LA vs Georgia? And other low minimum wage poo poo states will still have expensive concessions, just give the falcons a slight w on this one, they need it

When they opened the Mercedes Benz stadium, there were several announcements that they would have normal (normal for street/fast food, not normal for an NFL stadium) prices in the concession stands. I guess it helps to have a billionaire owner with a shrivel of a heart left.
That being said, it looks like a lot of foid for $20 after all the recent inflation corrections.

Alas they lose to the New England Patriots in the AFCCG, who then go on to lose by a missed field goal to the Detroit Lions in the Super Bowl.

Fwiw he was showing motion after he got put on the stretcher. Still very bad, but not Hamlin level bad I think.
Everyone forgets that Hamlin was the second Bills player to leave the field in an ambulance last year. It looked bad for Dane Jackson but he ended up avoiding serious injury and only missed a week.

It might be specific to injury issues for the Saints this preseason. The Saints had a real long scratch list yesterday. I'd normally assume we were just blowing off a meaningless game after getting done what we wanted during the joint practices last week, but maybe we did get a bit too banged up by it.
