okay when you enter the stadium they scan your ticket, when you exit they will scan your ticket.
when you get hungry and you dont want to pay the high prices to eat there leave, but be sure to get your ticket scanned so you can re-enter.
on the west side of the stadium along Collins St is a place called Pitt Grill.
i in no way declare it to be good or even cheap but there is one solution.
another solution would be to walk across Randol Mill Rd on the north side
of the stadium and get some deli food at the WalMart.
if you really feel like walking go north up Collins, plenty of fast food or casual dining places there. of course you will miss more of the game.
after eating walk back to stadium, re-enter and ask the folks around you for a recap of what you missed.
sure its totally inconvenient but hey at least you have choices.
i choose to tailgate, then eat or drink sparingly inside the stadium.
my son chooses to tailgate, then eat more inside but he is young.
the soda i drink serves the purpose WG said, helps the throat scream louder.
yes the prices suck but you always pay for convenience. i realize my suggestions arent all that practical but now you know what choices you have.
