There were two food stands (one in each "half" of the upper level where the halls are located) and two Starbucks stands on the lower level. There are apx 130,000 attendees annually... and four lines for food and drink inside the convention center. I haven't been to a sporting event in years, but one thing I know to be true about the experience is that attendees are now treated to more food options (admittedly overpriced, but that's the way of things). My opinion on food is this: If I'm going to eat unhealthy, it had better be something good... not a hot dog that has been soaking in pig sweat for three days. So instead of Comic Con or the convention center getting my money, The Old Spaghetti Factory and McCormick and Schmick's got my money... after I battled long lines of street-geeks to get to them. There has to be a better way. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "TVorNotTV" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Kevin M.
