No More Aramark?

[nando714]

With Aramark or after?

After aramark

[katrinab]

the only improvement I liked this season was the Wetzel pretzels stand

other than that, the food really was bad

[Bobster7587]

I thought the Chronic tacos in the stadium was pretty good. It took 2 innings to get food though.

We want In N Out!

[Brandon]

Hope they get rid of the diarrhea nacho cheese bought from Smart and Final.

[James]

They should put in a Slater 50/50 where the Knothole is and increase the taps, much like Hodad's at Petco. 

 

There is no excuse to not have the craft breweries that are set up for large production either. Stone, Ballast Point, Green Flash, Angel City, Golden Road and Dudes to start. 

 

My resume is ready to send on over...

[Brandon]

It's funny, driving to the dog park I saw a Ninkasi truck at some dumpy initial based liquor store and laughed that our stadium has Blue Moon and Guinness as the high end or specialty beers.

[Reveille1984]

The best beer options I've ever seen were at a Portland Timbers soccer game, it was magical.

 

I'm all for supporting more craft breweries.

Some of those dumpy liquor stores are hidden gems. Which one was it?

[ScottT]

I would be happy if they served grilled hot dogs instead of the "dipped in warm water" dogs they have now.

 

They do.

Not even sure and I don't usually take the route I did to this Corona park. I think it was called J&B Liqour. It had the curb appeal of El Cerrito, which means they probably have great beers and hard to get Mexican candy.

We want In N Out!

I do too, but it's not going to happen. However by the All Star break there will be an IN N OUT pretty close to the stadium.

Donde?

[Stradling]

State College and Ball. I guess I shouldn't guarantee it will be there by the All Star break but I am confident it will happen in 2014.

it would take 9 innings to get a hamburger.

[Stradling]

It certainly would take longer than the other places at the stadium, that's for sure. But it would also be the best thing you could eat at the stadium.

[Jay]

I can get In N Out anytime, why wait in line at the stadium.  Couple of dogs, bag of peanuts and I'm good.

[Lhalo]

State College and Ball. I guess I shouldn't guarantee it will be there by the All Star break but I am confident it will happen in 2014.

That's right down the street from Flamingos. Now I can get some double D's and a double-double in my face in short order.

[Brandon]

I take for granted having one around the corner (and ironically next to the gym).

Strad, get me in the loop with the company. Ideally owning one somehow since they don't franchise. Do I need to marry someones daughter? Can I get a higher up gig?

[Stradling]

The owner is a 31 year old female. Good luck.

[Brandon]

What an inheritance.

So you're saying there's a chance!

Aramark blows donkey ****.

 

I've been to several sporting facilities across the country and Anaheim's choices are vastly inferior to all but one (a minor league park in Northern California).

 

Concessions are the bread and butter of where a facility makes it's money. The better the choices and higher the volume of traffic, the more money there is to be made.

 

Aramark's employees are a joke. Anaheim has, by far, the slowest moving staff anywhere I've been. I've been at parks where it's taken less time to get through a live of 15 people than it does to move up 3 spots in Anahiem (no joke).

 

If I were the City of Anaheim and/or Angels front office staff, I'd be walking around the stadium nightly with a stopwatch timing how long it takes to get a customer through the line. No customer (except for the rare 15+ item shopper) should take more than a minute to get their order in, pay, and receive what they bought. This business of standing in a line of 4 people for 15 minutes is absurd. If a server takes more than a minute, on average, to service a customer, they are gone at the end of the night. Period. A couple of nights like that in a row and guess what? The line would magically speed up for everyone, leading to more people willing to get in line for concessions because they know they're not going to be on hold for 20 minutes just for a beer and a dog.

 

Locally, we have a promotion for our local Minor League team called "Dollar Beer Night" where the local college kids turn out in force. You know how long it takes to serve them? About 15 seconds per customer including payment. Why? Because they actually figured out a way to speed up the beer line. Vegas Halo Fan can confirm.  Not to mention the cool beer cups and filling method they use.

 

 

[Jay]

That's slick I've never seen that before

[Tank]

if it's still served by 90 year old concession workers, it won't really matter what they're serving. i don't like waiting half an hour for food at the ball park.

[nando714]

I used to be a hawker at the stadium when i was 16 (2003) worked for aramark. Literally did to watch the games for free and why not make a little change while you're at it

They have that serve beer from bottom thing at Staples Center. Also at angel stadium at the Budweiser patio
