Over Fall Break, thanks to Manson, I went to the UVa vs. Duke football game (go Hoos!), and I was really impressed with their food service. I didn't have their nachos (sorry, Purple), so I can't comment on those, but they had an $8 bottemless souvenir bicentennial cup with unlimited free refills. And they had Philly cheese steaks, buffalo chicken cheese steaks, Papa John's pizza, burgers, hot dogs, and fries. They also had a small area that sold ONLY fresh popcorn hot pretzels, and drinks. And they had vendors walking through the stands selling fresh-squeezed lemonade.
Plus, they had multiple souvenir stands with "discounted" prices on game day--$24 ball caps on sale for $19.
All that is to say, I hope LU's food service expands and improves when we are an FBS football program.
Though smaller, I honestly think LU's expanded Williams Stadium will look much better than UVa's aging Scott Stadium. But I was impressed that UVa's jumbroton was used almost exclusively for replays, sometimes showing the same good play 3 or 4 times from different angles, and almost NO video shots of the UVa fans. Plus, their scoreoboard also showed out of town scores, which I really loved.
