In addition, as I have mentioned a couple of times, I would work use the Seelye Center as an indoor tailgate section, with local breweries and restaurants renting space and selling the 'zoos best beer and food. To top it off, happy hour would be 1/2 off all food and beer for fans who stayed until the end of the game.

Love the idea!

Who does WMU contract with to sell concessions? That contract would need to be reviewed otherwise that company could shut it down.

Something like what you are proposing would bring more people into the stadium area and make them more likely to enter the stadium for the game. Good thinking!

Last I knew, EMA Enterprises held the concession contract. They also own several restaurants in the area, Derks on Sprinkle, Michelle's on Gull, and a few others, as well as Treat Street ice cream at Parkview and Oakland.

AND, Mr. Leeuw used to run the Damon's at Westnedge and Whites. His customer service is special and appreciated.
