ChevyVanMiller Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Took my son to the game. It was brutally hot in the stands. Went out at the end of the first quarter and saw the $2 pop sign and mistakenly thought water was the same. Was shocked to get charged $10 for two bottles of H2O. So much for encouraging kids to drink healthy.
Just Jack Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 [old man voice] $2!! Why, back in my day, on Kids Day, you could get a dog and pop for $1 each! And we bought lots! [/old man voice] The Snapple would probably be the better choice at $2, depending on what flavors they had available.
3rdand12 Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 I was watching the game on TV. The marketing has gone way over the top. Commercials for the Bills app for kids kinda freaked me out. Do all the kids have Iphones now at 7 years of age? Gimme your monies kids.

Just Jack Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Snapple has more sugar than a Coke. Vile stuff. It's actually about the same. Since the Bills sell Pepsi, that's what I'll compare.. 12oz Snapple Fruit Punch http://www.snapple.com/products/filter/regular/snapple-fruit-punch-100juiced-juice 170 Calories 42g sugar 12oz Pepsi http://www.pepsicobeveragefacts.com/Home/Product?formula=35005*26*01-01&form=RTD&size=12 150 calories 41g sugar

ALF Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Can you take empty water bottles into the Field (stadium) and fill them at a water fountain inside ?
Just Jack Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Can you take empty water bottles into the Field (stadium) and fill them at a water fountain inside ?I'm gonna say no, since bottles is listed as a prohibited item. As always, check with security or the Bills to be sure. http://www.buffalobills.com/tickets/stadium/permitted-prohibited-items.html
Estro Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Lol. The fact that no one from the Bills game day management, would find it odd to charge $2 for a soft drink or snapple, but $5 for a water is so Bills. Don't think the ineptitude of this organization is only on the field. I've been a season ticket holder since 2002, and the entire gameday operations has often left my brother and I scratching our heads.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 This just made me spit out my drink. Lol.

Don't think the ineptitude of this organization is only on the field. I've been a season ticket holder since 2002, and the entire gameday operations has often left my brother and I scratching our heads. The cost for fountain soft drinks is WAY cheaper than the cost for bottled water. This isn't some crazy oversight being "so Bills." It's simple business.
Boatdrinks Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 How much for a beer? Two-fifty for a highball, and a buck and a half for a beer ....
Bubba Gump Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 I was shocked when the vendor, who was actually the conehead vendor from the Amerks and Red Wings games in Rochester, said $10 for two waters. My buddy says to him...."did I break something?". To which the vendor replied, "I don't set the prices, I make $9 an hour to sell this stuff". So the Bills pay maybe 50 cents per bottle and charge $5.00 even. So they might make $4.50 per bottle and we bought two. That's a $9 profit that took maybe 15 seconds to cover the $9 an hour cost of the employee. How many waters you think this dude sells in an hour on a humid ass 90+ degree day? Highway robbery at its finest.
RealityCheck Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 It takes two to tango. Spend your money elsewhere, and see what happens. Unless of course being a willing victim is your thing. Just remember that your kids are watching.
