Larry and Becky Damato from Jacksonville just shelled out $24.95 before tax at EverBank Stadium and walked away with a hot dog, popcorn, nachos, a water, and a Bud Lite. Think about that for a second! Larry was already chowing down on his hot dog a full 90 minutes before the Jacksonville Jaguars even kicked off their preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on August 21. “It’s really good,” he said, and then, the kicker, “At five bucks, it’s even better.” This isn’t just some preseason gimmick, either. The “Fans First Favorites” menu, with its unbelievable $4.99 items, is set to run the *entire season*, covering two preseason and six regular-season home games.
This Is a Game Changer For Fan Wallets
The Jaguars and EverBank Stadium debuted this low-priced menu at their first home preseason game, and honestly, it is a breath of fresh air for fans already digging deep just to get their family to an NFL game. We’re talking four concession stands on the main concourse loaded up with $4.99 items. Jaguars Chief Operating Officer Chad Johnson confirmed these main items, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and pretzels, are historically the four most popular. Plus, they’re including 12-ounce cans of domestic beer and 16-ounce bottles of water in that sweet deal. Louis and Yolanda Taylor, another couple at the game, loved it so much they even bought a $12.99 souvenir Jaguars cup for free refills all season long. Louis nailed it, “The prices are great, especially at an NFL game.” Can you imagine that kind of value at other stadiums?
Serious Grub for Serious Steals
And we are not talking about some sad, subpar grub here. The hot dogs, rated a solid ‘B’, are Stahl-Meyer brand, a company that’s been around since 1836 and used to be served at Yankees, Giants, and Dodgers games back in the day. They’re steamed, then rolled to a perfect reddish glow with a bit of char, all on fresh buns. Forget those cardboard buns, these are legit. The Bavarian Pretzels got an ‘A’, coming out soft and warm with just the right amount of salt. Even the nachos, a ‘B’, are Tostitos, with a generous handful of chips, plus a cup each of cheese and salsa, served in a sturdy container with holes for the condiments. It’s clear they are not skimping on quality even with the killer prices.
This “Fans First Favorites” menu is locked in for the full season. So, when the Jaguars hit the field for their next regular-season home game, fans will still be getting these incredible deals. It makes you wonder how long other teams can hold out before their fans demand the same kind of love.
