That, and they operate the concessions themselves. The Vipers kicked Aramark out two years ago. That was a good decision, imo.
The city gave the Vipers complete control of the stadium as the city really wants nothing to do with its maintenance. That is why Young was able to behave like such an a-hole towards the Dawgs. The Vipers were their landlord in 2005, and the only reason why the Dawgs even played in Foothills that year was because the city mandated it - they were worried about getting burned by another fly by night team a la the Outlaws. The Dawgs, meanwhile, had been stable for two years at that point.
