Detroit Lions to offer all you can eat option for $15 extra

They might not know how to play football well but the organization sure knows the demograpics
of their fans. Michigan ranks 10th in the nation in obesity so what better marketing option
than offering your choice of nachos with cheese, hot dogs, bratwurst, chips and soft drinks
(sorry, beer not included) for an extra $15 added to the ticket price? A fan can get
up to four items at once at special concession stands and can return for more as many
times as they want during the game. 5,500 tickets with this option are available and
they have sold 3,200 so far. Participants in the plan get a wrist band indentifying them
as eligible for the all you can eat plan.

    The "wrist band" may also be helpful in identifying those who drop dead from the eating binges during the game.

    Andy Reid wants to know if he can get a wristband if Philly comes to town..

    Texas Rangers have an all you can eat section at The Ballpark. Pretty decent seats too. We enjoyed it!
  • Their offensive line is garbage - maybe they're on to something image
  • LOL, great comments!
  • So you can keep making trips back and forth and feed your whole family for $15.00. Not bad!
  • just what we need, fattening up already FAT ASSES. they should do all you can eat salad bars instead.
  • Oh oh oh...I can't WAIT to help pay for their health care!!
  • Is there any way we can have the food brought to us, so we don't have to get up?

    they offer a similar type deal an Progressive Field here in Cleveland. All you can eat....but realistically how many hot dogs can one consume....one of my buddies tried to one an inning along with his beers and soon wanted to gag. Most hd's are terrible at ball barks....or at least the one's here in Cleveland

    I wonder how big around those wrist bands are. And I wonder if they're stain resistant. And I wonder if CPR and/or Heimlich manuevre instructions are printed on them.
