I wanted a conecuh sausage dog but the consession stand didn't have any, even though they were advertised on the jumbo tron. ^^^^ Just makes too much sense. Conecuh Sausage.. The Official Sausage of Troy Athletics and you have to drive down to the Pig to find one.

I think those that complain about not having the food and drinks you like in the concession stands at the stadium ought to tryout TAILGATING before the game. Get all those 'taste bud' items out of the way at the tailgate and you dont not have to worry about what food you can and cannot get inside the stadium. Just think, at a tailgate (you know, right behind where you park) you could have anything and everything you have always wanted to eat at the Vet, just bring it with you. Heck, I bet most folks would love to have you just join right in with their group and tailgate with them, no questions asked. I know that you (all of you) are more than welcome at our tailgate.
Now, of course if THEY DONT HAVE what you want and Troy doesn't provide inside the stadium, you will still be in a quandary. You may have to mingle and meet some other folks that have what you want. You know, walk around, enjoy the day, meet some folks, see folks you already know, EAT the foods you desperately crave and MUST HAVE to enjoy a football game. Get all that out of the way before you go into the game, then you can concentrate on the game, the players, the emotion of it all.
Just a thought!

So you believe that because the Troy concessions are so inept and weak (especially on food they advertise for in the stadium for one of their highest profile Advertisers) is to walk around a mooch to everyone’s tailgate until you find what you want and fill up. Why not actually helping assist in holding the epic fail that is Troy concessions to account ? You say you are connected and have passion for Troy ? Wouldn’t bringing increased revenue from concessions be good for Troy ? And increase the fan experience? Don’t understand why people who consistently say they are mega fans try so hard to mask the utter failings. If not address the problems will just continue.

The Official Sausage of Troy Athletics and you have to drive down to the Pig to find one. Funny thing about the rights to be "official_____ provider for Troy Athletics". You can pay for that right, but it does not mean they will use it. In this case, Sodexo may have a contract with the other sausage maker, but Conecuh Sausage thinks it's worth the advertising dollars to promote this. Remember when the Birmingham Bowl was sponsored by Papa John's or Little Cesar's can't remember) anyway Legion Field did not have a contract with that franchise so the title holder to the bowl game was not for sale in the stadium. As the official oxygen provider for the Troy Trojans, I understand this fun stuff.

Good god man, try the atmosphere outside the stadium instead of complaining about everything inside, THAT was the message. Use your own tailgate and enjoy... I don't ever talk about MY CONNECTIONS and/or PASSION for Troy. Those that know me, KNOW ME. Those of you who don't ought not to speak of things they (you) know NOTHING ABOUT! What is the EPIC FAIL OF TROY, anyway? HELL, I think the Ribeye at Santa Fe is the "official ribeye of Troy Athletics" but I don't expect them to sell ribeyes in the stadium!!

I wasn't there and I'm the first to question Troy attendance announcements but by all the pics I've seen 25,000 looks spot on. Way more than 18,000 I assure you

You did say mooch: walk around and eat. Try to help out instead of promoting laziness and mooching I apologize, you obviously have never been to a game at Troy and participated in any pregame tailgate activities, therefore you misconstrued my "walking around, meeting, enjoying the festivities, etc" as mooching! I was trying to help you get your game day sustenance prior to going inside and being disappointed, again my apologies. Where I was raised, being neighborly and all, we never called that 'mooching', in fact I just re-read, again, my comments, and I swear I don't see the word 'mooch' anywhere, but then, as you have proven, I could be wrong. I promise you can come to my tailgate for any game and we will feed you, drink you, and fellowship with you and we will never, ever accuse you of mooching. I wont promise that we will have Conecuh Sausage, but we have will be worth eating. It has already been clarified by jonesoxygen how the 'official sponsorships' contracts work. Enjoy your day, hope you come by our tailgate and enjoy some fellowship.

Some of us typically bring people back to the tailgate, after Trojan Walk, for that very reason. You just never know who will show up.

And that’s ok, different strokes for different folks. Some have their own friend group, some just want hang out with their family. But it’s not unreasonable to ask and demand that inside the stadium have at least half decent food and drink to munch on. I fact some stadium food is awesome and people go for the food. For instance, I love the food at Fenway Park and Wrigley Field. They serve a ton and make a killing in revenue. I know y’all don’t want Troy to grow, some of us do.

I believe that the Sodexo contract goes through the big bosses and includes other concessions and campus dining quite apart from Troy Athletics. Still no excuse for the continued deplorable manner Sodexo handles gameday concessions. Year after year after year...

Raw oysters on a hot day... as long as they were kept on ice, I could get behind this idea.
I don't remember what frat did it, but one year they did all you could eat oysters for a fund raiser, after 10 dozen they asked me to leave.

Who says we are not an imaginative group. We take an attendance thread (and debate) and turn it into a sausage and oyster food discussion. I am not sure if that reflects a second great passion following Football for us or ADHD. Either way just found it funny
