But concessions can't take a debt card? Come on now....

And they still don't show replays.

What exactly is a debt card?

WMU sports Concessions are contracted out.

Used mine tonight.

Maybe they like debit cards that are linked to positive balanced accounts?

What is this positive balance of which you speak?

Not positive net worth, just for THAT particular account!!

The stand I went to had one lane for cards, no cards in the other lanes

They are few and far between.

I was last at Lawson in Oct 2015 and they wouldn't take CC either. I guess I get not accepting credit card for token items like popcorn and pop, but football games are a bigger deal, many more customers. This would be a great story for a Herald reporter: why won't WMU athletics concessions accept plastic?

EMA-Enterprises- they own nine restaurants around Kalamazoo, Lansing & Battle Creek plus a large catering business.

A bunch of thieves, they sell fans water for $3.00 per and purchase the same bottle for less than $1.00 each.

200% mark up, must think they are a pharma company!

FWIW............

Quote:The cheapest beer option in Detroit is a 16-ounce beverage that cost $8.50. ........... What’s more, in Detroit that price represents a staggering 765% markup compared to local grocery store prices, easily the league’s widest pricing margin.

Ha $1.00 each? Go to Wal Mart and you can get 24 for $3.99 or so....I do not think the mark up is really that bad on most items compared to the pro level. Had two of the pulled chicken or pork sandwiches and a coke for $15. Did not feel ripped off.

Was very surprised by the lack of replays. In this day and age, you should be showing most everything. I personally want to see the other guys TD's also, although that could be debated. But this is a case where MORE IS MORE...not less is MORE.
