rice eccles stadium is one of the worst fetching places i've been to in my life! In 2010, i showed up to the stadium halfway through the first qtr, just like i do every byu home game. All of the parking spots by the stadium were already full! Some guy wanted me to pay $10 just to park my aerostar mini van 10 blocks from the stadium. "heck no pal! I know a scam when i see one" i said, as i parked my van in an empty handicapped spot across the street. I get to the gates and see they are searching bags. Holy fetch, is this tsa? Next thing i know they are confiscating all 8 of the pb&j sandwiches i made for me, my wife, and my kids. Sure, fleece the out of towners for everything we've got. My kids will starve before i pay $4 for a hot dog you can get for free every saturday at rc willeys. Next i start asking about ticket options. You know, groupon deals, bogo's, kids under 6 get in free, that sort of thing. Nothing. Not only do they have no deals for a family of 8, they have no tickets. Sold out. Talk about poor planning and terrible customer service. They tell me to try a ticket scalper. Yeah, sounds like a great way to end up in prison or in the er with a stab wound. At this point i've had enough. I get the kids back to the car and head straight for the one place i know wont let us down, the chuck a rama in provo city. Yeah, its splurging a little but the kids had had a rough day. Plus, we were able to save a few bucks by sneaking some of the kids through one of the side doors while the hostess wasn't looking, so the day actually turned out ok.
