I was in Dallas this weekend as well but was at the Cowboys practice facility in Frisco at a gymnastics meet instead of SX. Concessions there were just as bad. Pay ~150 each to enter two kids in meet. Pay ~90 each for weekend pass to get my wife and I into the meet to watch. Pay a ton to eat..... And yes the concessions workers had their "give me a tip" routines down. Infuriating. Flight home today got delayed and I went straight from airport to work night shift on no sleep so I can keep funding all this nonsense..... kids had fun and did well but I'm not loving life at the moment. 

Youth athletics in the US is completely broken (including moto). It's insane that we do it like this. Too much money, Too much pressure, not enough fun.

That's how I get my wife to attend SX. 

I tell her that I'm going to take her to one of the most expensive restaurants in town. Works every time....

Just kidding of course. She is a big fan and loves it just as much as I do. We always try to eat before we go into the stadium.

I feel your pain, but as you know, we are a captive audience at typical sports stadium. I live outside St. louis, my buddies, brothers and myself usually leave between practice and the night show and eat somewhere downtown. It's still expensive, But not as expensive As eating at the stadium. Then we hustle back To get our seats right before the 1st heat race. The thing that got me about prices was last September We spent a couple days at a hotel in Las Vegas right on the strip. The cheapest cup of coffee I could find Was $8. Now that is criminal. If the casinos and hotels could charge you for air they would.

Why don't more people tailgate and cook their own food at these things?  At Arlington lot 11 (across from the pits) was full of people tailgating and people cooking food.  We had fajitas and hotlinks as well as beer, had about 15 people in our group everyone brought something, I don't think anyone spent more then $10 on food and we had plenty of left overs.

Vegas is a fucking joke! I feel for the employees, but let all of those dumps fail.
