A lot of things I thought were a given were suddenly “in consideration” based on that article.
What have you thought was a given?

People don't appreciate how good Gianelli sausage is until they move away and eat terrible italian sausages elsewhere.
Love, love, love Gianellis hot sausage.
For the most part, it's the food, not the games, that hook the young kids on going, especially marathon FB games.This. Anyone who suggests not eating does not have kids or is too old to remember what it's like. Until they're in 3rd or 4th grade... maybe even older than that... they're not really there to follow the players, playcalling, etc. They're taking in the entire experience sans the actual game in most cases. They're trying to spot otto with binoculars, they are mesmerized by baton twirlers, they comment how the band wears sparkly feathered hats, they eagerly await the choo-choo smoke when they hear the train whistle, and study the old people who randomly stand up to yell. But because this is college football, there is ample down time between all of this, and THAT is when the food and snacks become your best friend and an excuse to take them for a walk in the much maligned concourses.
It was getting quite uncomfortable in there on Saturday. I wanted to grab some ice cream for the kids shortly after halftime thinking the lines would be shorter, but because we have only ONE ice cream vendor in the entire building, we quickly scanned the line that went about 30 deep and realized it wasn't happening. This is just one example. Honestly Sala and Wild should be embarrassed and I hope there are sincere plans to rectify this during the renos.
I say you lease various stands out to local fare.

Make Concessions Great Again!
Getting closer implies that they have a prioritized wish list. As in we raise $50M you get A, B, C on the list. Raise $100M you get D, E, F. So it sounds like they are getting closer to the minimum fundraising threshold or else they would already be talking about some of those items in more definite terms. At least that’s how I read it.Getting closer but I’m not sure they are there
This. Really hope they start looking for local vendors who crank out a good product and know how to keep the lines moving. Plenty of great local food. The pizza fritte efficiency alone would make a killing. But I fear all the spilled cinnamon sugar on the steps will lead to some slips and falls.I say you lease various stands out to local fare.

Exactly which is why I don't understand the comments that "this is outlined in Phase 2". We don't even know there will be a phase 2 and what scope it will be. It' SU Athletics - until I see it being done I assume it won't get done.Getting closer implies that they have a prioritized wish list. As in we raise $50M you get A, B, C on the list.

Are people not paying attention? Upgrading the concessions has been discussed in just about every interview about the renovations. Roof, video and sound in phase 1, concourse and concessions and other mods in phase 2.
