Unfortunately they do. In addition to the standard fare, Ohio Stadium has a Rooster's, Graeter's and a Deli.
Went to Notre Dame stadium a couple years ago and the place was kind of a dump, though it was a great experience. My bench seat was basically a thin wooden plank. The food options weren't anything crazy or different than the other 29 stadiums I've been to.
BTW...also it was crazy how quiet the stadium was. Huge rivalry game that ND won and was close the entire time and I swear there have been UC conference games in the AAC where the fans are much more into it.

A booklet UC gave out at one of the first games said there was a Graeter's in Nippert, but I never found it, not did any of the ushers know where it might be. Pretty sure it was nonexistent. Also, did anyone else notice the one booth doing Skyline coneys did not have the Skyline people show up for the last two home games?

Don't care about food. Give me a decent selection of quality beer in ridiculously large vessels and at a reasonable price and lots of spacious bathroom options for me to return it.

RE: UC doing Survey of Club Seat Holder Experience
Actually, I often get to the games many hours early but do not bring food with me. However, there are excellent pulled pork sandwiches available in the alumni center (do not have to be any sort of member to go in). Also, once in the stadium, the stadium view cafeteria has a nice chicken strip and fries basket for a reasonable price.

Good to know. Missed that this year when we came back to Nippert. The club seat concessions at PBS had a big chicken strip and fry basket for a very reasonable price for stadium food and they'd even toss them in buffalo sauce.

Gotta agree with Doss on this one. I used to have season tickets in the club level for the bengals. Always found it fascinating to watch people pay ridiculous prices for mediocre food that they would then wolf down like they were in a competitive eating contest while standing with their plates perched on a trash can because all the tables were occupied. Then they would wash it down with a beer that cost the same for one as a six pack of the same stuff I could buy at the gas station next to my house on the way home.
I go to the stadium to watch the game. I'll reserve the fine dining experience for a nice restaurant where the meal has my undivided attention.

Not to get this further off track but wasn't Doss in another thread raving about the food they serve in the club seat area..?

I wasn't going to say it because he's kind of been a real a** lately, but yes. He's been raving about the club food all season.

The food was great opening game but fell off a bit as the year progressed. That said the attraction of the Club Seats is the seats not the food. The views of the game are great. If you every get a chance to go to The Club take it.

Does Aramark do the food for club? I was in the president's suite for the MBB game against Butler and I thought the food kind of sucked. Wasn't impressed at all.

Guess it would be Classic Fare Catering... Wonder if they do all the food for the club level.

The pressbox had something called Calhoun Street Catering. Fake Skyline, all around mediocrity at best. But hey, it was free!
