The following resolution about concession prices at GFL Memorial Gardens has been placed on the agenda of next week's City Council meeting by Ward 3 Coun. Matthew Shoemaker and Ward 1's Paul Christian.
The meeting will be livestreamed on SooToday starting at 4:30 p.m. Monday:
*************************
Fan-friendly pricing - GFL Memorial Gardens
Mover: Councillor M. Shoemaker
Seconder: Councillor P. Christian
Whereas balancing the cost of concessions must always strike a balance between satisfying fans and turning a profit for the concession stands; and
Whereas a recent trend in major league sports has been to implement fan-friendly pricing on the most popular menu items available at sporting events; and
Whereas fan-friendly pricing at major league sports venues across North America has resulted in increased revenue because it has increased the sale of concessions at major sporting events;
Now therefore be it resolved that staff be requested to investigate and report to council regarding the implementation of fan-friendly pricing at the GFL Memorial Gardens for the 2019-2020 Soo Greyhound season, and, if it is proposed that a fan-friendly menu be implemented, that a review be conducted after said season to determine the success of the fan-friendly pricing.
