I was listening to Sam Doughton's podcast episode with Chelsea Floyd and she was talking about having more food trucks. When I was looking at colleges two years ago I went to a couple Samford games and they have that whole section behind the end zone cleared out as a hangout place with food trucks, games, etc. I think that would be a really cool thing to do in my humble opinion but I don't know how realistic it would be to take out part of the stadium right now especially with building up top notch facilities. If I can find a good pic of Samford area, I'll send it. Linked below is that podcast episode between Sam and Chelsea...

Something like that I think would be better than the fun area we have. Don't get me wrong, it looks nice, but my understanding is you need certain tickets to go to it?
When we usually go to games it is my wife and our 9yr old, with my sister, husband, and their 8 and 10yr olds. The kids are fine for a bit, then get restless. The mamas could care less about the game and if there was a place to go they would be totally content taking the kids to an area and letting us guys enjoy the game.
For food trucks, last time I was there they were sort of spread out under both grandstands. I get wanting to get both sides of the stadium, so a central location all together would be nice.
Side note....Sam's pods have been great. I love the BRP but the specialty of Sam's covering inside athletics stuff is super fascinating. Great great stuff.
