Wow that's expensive but also a lot of food and looks to be decent quality

Expecting a full review fellas!!!

I made sure to get the details at PAS tonight:

$55 for the "BBQ for 2", and $65 for the full feast.  Ouchy ouch.  Much more than I had guessed, and even more than the Walby burger was, right?

Since Khan is gone I said OK, and ordered the $55.  After declining the $140 bill the till showed because the lady though my "BBQ for 2" was "2 full feasts", they got my order right and put it in.  They tell me 5 minutes.  Ok.

This is all 30-mins before kickoff.  200-level West.

I wait 10.  The lady comes over to tell me "oh, we don't have BBQ tonight".  I'm like, uh... couldn't have told me this 10 minutes ago?

So they refund me and I go to another concession for something else, but my "arrive early, avoid lines" trick was shot by then.  They promised me BBQ would be ready by next game.

I will say though the communication was clearly subpar, the staff there was very friendly and cheery.

Call it a fail on the part of WFC for their big new hyped high-$ food offering.  After going to another concession and waiting there too, finally got up to my kids in the stands; they had thought I had been killed I took so long!
Never go full Johnston!

Was trying hard to see what the "upgrades" to the jumbotron were.  Was it a whole new screen?  The N side one didn't have all the screwed up pixels/lines that it often does.  Maybe looked brighter?  Dunno.  Maybe someone else knows.

Rum Hut upgrade: was the actual thatched roof new?

The misting fan near the Rum Hut is always nice when passing by.
Never go full Johnston!

That's a shame.  The bbq spot in the lower level was open.  I order just after the first quarter.

I tried the 'pitmaster' (1/2 pound of brisket or pulled pork and two sides) with brisket, Mac and cheese, and baked beans.  It was okay, brisket was pretty fatty but had a nice Smokey flavour.  Mac n cheese looked like it sat out for a while, didn't have a lot of cheese on it.  Overall 6/10, probably still better than most concession items.

Services was fairly quick I think I had my food within 5 mins.  Some other option there were brisket and pulled pork sandwiches.  Coleslaw and fries for side options.  And Smashburgers.

I guess it's just another case then of the 200 level getting the shaft. I'm jealous you got yours ok!

I'll buy it 100 level next time when I first get in then. Can't risk it otherwise, it's not worth my time to get the run around.

Thanks for the chime in.

The Run Hut sign is new. I noticed it lit up when it got darker out

Did they take down that giant Jim Beam sign yet?

The James Beam Distilling sign is still up.

Is their booze still being sold at PAS?

Is Wade Miller making trips down to North Dakota to pick some up?

New screen doesn't seam as wide, yes entire new screens.  Better resolution but blurry on close up at slow mo.  Too bad about the BBQ.  That's enough to turn people off completely.  And $$$$.
