No one pays good money for tickets to waste their time walking around the arena during the game in hopes of finding amenities that should be readily available. As is par of the course, dozens of metro area high schools manage to pull this off without a hitch weekly, I don't know why we can't manage to crack the code.

Not only "good money" on tickets, but a pepsi and a turkey sandwich wrap was $13. It was okay, and I ate it, but it was not worth $13.

No goobers. Complaining about Tuscaloosa goobers got us no goobers.

I noticed that they were selling popcorn in boxes last night.

As the announcement to "walk to another stand if yours is busy" was being said, ol'Ray started nodding his head. The woman sitting next to him wasn't talking, so I can only assume he was in full agreement with the announcement.

Either that or he was attempting to work it free of his rectal orifice.

At least they had four stands open this time instead of two. That was an improvement. They forgot to mention that. That is why the damn lines were so long last week.

I've never actually bought anything inside Bartow. 2.5 hours is not really enough time to make me thirsty or hungry.

I'm not complaining about the concession stands. I just thought... this is your response to the complaints about lines? I wasn't sure how many they had open. I saw where Attalla said they had 4 open instead of the normal 2. It would have been better to not make the announcement than to word it the way they did.

Damn, we're a thin-skinned bunch. Were the lines better or not?

I eat before the game, and usually don't patronize the concession stand. I notice I didn't have to elbow my way through the line to get to the men's room at halftime.

no lines last night and the girl who waited on me was so pleasant she must work at chik fil a too. Good hot dog, a classic sweet tea and 70% shooting from the floor.

Everything tastes better when we shoot 70%.

Hard to say if that was because of better efficiency or because of everyone's terrible experiences last game (not coming back). Or a combination of both.

I did not go back to the concession line nor did I go to the concourse then again my grandkids were not with me I have no reason to go plus I was turned off on my last experience
