This is effectively the crux of the matter.
I'm the same way. The crucial thing about the trial that the Atlanta Falcons did is that they made sure they had service and capacity.
The thing is, I'm not expecting a gourmet meal or anything at a hockey event, but that means I dont expect to be paying gourmet prices and waiting for the Maitre D.
If you want to sell me nachos, a pocket dawg and a beer, then great, do it for cheap and do it in under 5 minutes. If I want Prime Rib then based on my desires I have to change my expectations.
The key to making money off of concessions isnt typically price, the key is throughput.
20,000 people have effectively agreed to be held hostage in your building for 3 hours in exchange for watching men hitting pucks. You have this amount of time to sell them stuff. Get to it.
