Good to see that the hot dog carts are already prepared to ply the arena crowds.  :D

I had one from that exact cart after we were done touring the SC. Nothing beats a good hot dog from a street vendor. The two guys working it were stoked.

Toilets and urinals are not auto flush.  That is my only complaint.  Otherwise it is amazing.  Good to see so many down checking it out as well.

I forgot to check out the most important room of the arena, will have to do that when I go back tonight. ;)

That's funny because that's the first thing that i mentioned to my room mate... he waved his hand in front of the faucet for about 5 sec before he realized that he had to push the thing on the sink to get water flowing.

Unreal, as in I can't believe they didn't wrap the beam to cover up the sprayed on fireproofing?
That is the one thing I noticed that looked cheap or unfinished.  Lot's of exposed beams w/ the spray on fireproofing. 
This photo shows the absolute worse case of it because it's right in your face as your travel up the escalator.
Otherwise, pretty spiffy looking place.

Not me.  She endorsed the shitty TSC plan, instead of putting the K where it belonged.

If that's the price of the kids beer, how much is the adult size?  :lol:

Nah if you look close, you will see that they get a turkey dog, chips, and fruit with their beer.  Us adults just get . . . a beer.   :D

Hilarious.

But I'm also trying to figure out how it will work with QuikTrip selling 79 cent pops while the other stands will charge 4-5 bucks.

Did they keep their prices the same? Or did they give them an arena jack-up.

No pop at the QT.  Looks like it'll just be coffee, frozen drinks, sandwiches, pastries and energy drinks.

They are fast becoming an upscale stadium favorite.  Picture french fries tossed in a garlic, parmesan, herb dressing.
