Reed Arena was in the Restaurant Monitor section of the Eagle today:

Reed Arena, 730 Olsen Blvd. - 72. Cross-contamination of raw/cooked foods/other, cold hold temperature violation(s) (41 F/45 F), lack of good hygienic practices, unapproved sewage/wastewater disposal system/improper disposal, hand wash facilities without soap and towels, unapproved systems (hazard control plans), hot hold temperature violation(s) (135 F).

Inspections scores are on a 100-point scale. Generally, scores below 80 might cause the department to schedule a follow-up visit. A score below 70 results in the suspension of an establishment's health permit.

So along with overpriced food, that's not really good, you get the added bonus of it not prepared correctly and in unsanitary conditions.

Dear lord. That's horrible.

hahaha, here's the link:

but they serve the best salmonella in town.

To underscore the $10 limit that has been broached... I asked one of the concession helpers this weekend if they are selling any $10 nacho. Her reply was "No. They're too expensive."

New treat this weekend.

Need some affordable treats

hahaha, bring on the $20 nachos

$12 for that?

Geeze. Big of Levy to step up to the plate and offer such a great single item to go along with all of the other gourmet excellence they serve each night.

Add in the price of the drink next to it and we're at $17+.

I wonder if this is a club item or normal concessions? Anywho, $12 shouldn't be a surprise when you see what you get already with the $10 nachos

I will do more than $20 in plumbing damage to BBP after that. Might consider upping the price.

That is not worth $12. That's an $8 item if it tastes at least decent.

They aren't getting the message. They need to improve the quality of the food at the current costs or reduce the costs. Not combine existing items with one added ingredient and mark it up in price.

If you're going to rip people off at the concession stand, they will have no qualms about smuggling in their own refreshments. And rightly so.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner!!

Come watch the #1 Aggies play baseball before football practice begins Johnny.

I was at Disch-Falk on Tuesday and they had some really good Chicago dogs for $5. Went pretty well with the draft Shiner, just sayin'.....

Their nachos were trash though.

Baseball food is overpriced and poor quality. Example: Peanuts look and taste like they are years old. It's AD's responsibility to give the customers a good product. It's turned into just plain money grubbing ...

he's a Kyle Field Redevelopment Manager. That's all.

Who dislikes the concessions so much that they would be willing to spend $10 on a shirt that gets the message across if tons of people wear it to games? Texags is creative. Come up with a slogan and the shirts can get printed...

So far this season I have had...

Buffalo Turkey Sandwich w/ Kettle Chips
Corned Beef & Cabbage (St' Pattys)
Smoked Chicken and Penne
A giant ass cookie (~6' dia)

The food in the club has been nails every time I've been. Good to know the 1% hasn't been effected by poor concessions.

Of course

But its pricey there too.

Not talking about coaching here, but I find the Texas A&M Athletic Department on the edge of incompetency.

Well the Levy contract I think is more than just athletics.

But I can't wait until next year when we can have ivory dusted nachos for $500 for the bama game

I think eye3guy meant "Athletic Department", but you appear to mean "Athletic Director". Correct?

This is the first I've heard of Hyman ignoring everything else besides the Kyle Field project. Care to give some background?

Even Hop has said that is Hyman's role and that is why he has done nothing in regards to basketball.

Yes, I meant Athletic Director.

The issue of Hyman ignoring everything except Kyle Field is not new. It's been discussed ad nauseum on other boards - a combination of issues surrounding men's basketball, concessions, and to a lesser degree, seating at Olsen. The outward appearance is that Hyman is strictly a place-holder, awaiting retirement, and the completion on Kyle Field. Then again, that just mine (and numerous other TexAgs poster's) opinion. I would like to hear other's.

Yep, definitely. We went out of our way to hire someone who is just waiting on retirement (actually stole him away from another place he did nothing at), put him in charge of the Kyle Field capital campaign, and have knowingly let him ignore absolutely everything else about athletics. He doesn't do anything except collect a check and count down the days until he's retired, and occasionally look in on how Kyle's progress is coming along. All of this is confirmed by all the other posters on TexAgs, so it's definitely true.




People don't see an AD like Byrne out kissing asses and shaking babies in public every day and he MUST be doing nothing. I mean, it only makes sense that A&M would go out and hire a guy who could have very easily retired in a nice location where, by many accounts, he did a great deal to build up an athletic program and just put him in as a place holder, instead of actually making a real hire who would be in charge of everything; and that said guy would jump at the chance to make the move...even though he's just waiting on retirement. I guess this is all just so we can get a few years of semi-legitimate experience under Cook's belt, right??? I mean, he is responsible for all the positive things that happen with out program, anyway. AMIRITE.

Eric is the only one checked out to review the contractors TPS reports
