|
Likely put out the Pizza contract to vendors, with 73 being the highest/most lucrative bidder(?) perhaps. Would think they'd maybe go something local, like Royal Pizza or something. I dunno, pizza wise there are SOOO many better options than Pizza 73, though you're right it is (barely) a step up from Little Caesars.
|
Aren't Pizza 73, Boston Pizza, and Royal Pizza all founded in Edmonton?
I do think it would have been cool to have all the concessions (or at least an area of the arena) that showcased the best of Edmonton, like a stand for the Italian Bakery, a stand for Tres Carnales, etc.
Right now, my go-to and I think best bang for the buck is the Pyrogy Nachos from the Molson Fan Deck.
|
The issue with food is that the Oilers decided that they could make more money controlling all the concessions with a single vendor than they could leasing out to many vendors. It's better for the Oilers, but not for the fans.
I will say, Terry Jones has accomplished what the Oilers wanted him to do with this...the discussion has evolved from how crappy the Oilers are under Katz to how the food options aren't that great, despite being expensive. Maybe Katz can appease the fan base with a price cut on beer and free popcorn for the first 500 guests...
|
Free (small) popcorn on fan appreciation night. Yay!
|
I can shed a little light on their processes. This is 2nd hand info but, unlike other big companies that would put this sort of thing out to tender, my understanding is EOG only contacts a couple potential vendors and then chooses between them. If you think about how they hire coaches and GMs this shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
