food at the game ideas

[JRHEETER]

Miron court is supposed to become like a local food hall soon. I know Varsity is going in there. University approached Tullys but Tullys said no as the school presented them with a deal that made no sense. I was told they are basically trying to bring Marshall street and other local establishments into Miron Court in the future

Thats wonderful thats the plan. I am not sure it ever happens.

Food services is so tough/demanding.

I mean we once were having a tailgate for the Alumni Association at a Soccer game and food services got mad at us and wanted us to pack it all up because they thought we would interfere with the sales of their little tiny food truck that sells basically nothing besides candy and soda. Again, an approved tailgate that we had worked with the AD on.


Its rather insane how much fighting happens between departments at Syracuse University.

Yup. Until the folks at the top dictate that things need to change, I am not optimistic anything will be different.

They love to blame everyone and everything else but it’s all internal issues.

Are there enough terlits in the Dome to handle that?

 

[JeremyCuse]

Did the Lally’s demand that Tullys meet them halfway and refer to themselves in the Dome as “Lullys?”

Not discounting bulldogs info (I am sure it's accurate) but Tullys was always gonna be stretch due to concerns on their end that go beyond the potential agreement. SU does realize food is an issue but as Richmond noted there has been significant pushback from that dept about going outside.

20-30 years ago the food options were so much better, I remember chicken wings, Dino pulled pork and baked beans, steak sandwiches, the italian place, and Burger King. Not to mention just the convenience of vendors up and down the aisles with the common hot dogs, popcorn, beer, and soda.

 

[IthacaMatt]

you see this like this and see how little effort we get on our concessions.

arena food options

Things the Sabres game offered were so much better and many of them did not require special grills.

Yes, I agree. No reason we can't do food somewhat better than it is, even with building space restrictions.

Can we have at least one kiosk with sustainable, locally-sourced, farm-to-table, small-plate, artisanal cuisine prepared by LGTBQ+ refugees?

Maybe have Wavy gravy run it.

The problem with Miron Court is it’s too far away from the court for basketball games. Not enough time during halftime to get food.

Eat at the tailgate? It's less money and it tastes better. No one's forcing you to eat a stale dome dog.

I'm spit wadding here, but is it possible that this is intentional? Food Services monopoly may generate profits to offset increasing costs in student cafeterias.

yeah Tullys both sides were VERY far off and away from each other

Dome halftime whopper juniors were some of the highlights of my youth.

But I thought they wanted to shut down M Street!?

I’m not an engineer. Can you just take out an exterior wall without compromising the structure?

Pretty much anything is possible if you’re willing to spend the money, but in truth, it would require a pretty big effort by my understanding. The walls of the Dome are structurally self supporting. To cut a hole or remove one at minimum means that load (the weight of the panel above the cut) would have to be carried, distributed, and “grounded”. Nothing in place today was designed to carry that additional load. Entirely new structure would have to be installed. That’s tough to do right next to the existing walls that still need “the ground” along with footings and foundations to support them. It’s usually called “underpinning”.
IIRC, Miron’s openings to the Dome have rather large beams installed (called a header) above the openings as part of a structural system designed to do what I mention above.

If they blew out the west side, elevators are back in play, covered open air on top for nice weather. better access for vendor stuff. Multi level access . All sorts of stuff could be done.

And really, none of it needs to fully connect to the Dome. Just the access portals. the real building could be 20-50 ft away if that helped. It would be no different than the holes they popped in the east side for that new area.

I’m a west side advocate. The idea of pulling it away is probably a good one. Building a roof right up against the Dome roof or wall has potential (greater potential in Syracuse) to introduce new loads on the existing wall or roof due to snow drifting.
