Some of you are probably wondering...

About the BBQ grill we raised some money for last fall that was to be installed at JC Love field -

Well it is almost finished and should be ready in about 2 to 3 weeks -

6 ft X 1 1/2 ft of cooking steel -

Here are some pictures -

Pretty cool. Some of us need those things as big as possible!

[TECHLAX]

where will the grill be "installed"?

[aubunique]

Lexie's mistress ain't bad, either. Reference to Mississippi Southern tailgate pictures.

At the baseball stadium - somewhere around the covered hitting area and bullpen - that's my guess -

This grill is solely for the use of the team and those who sponsor the team by providing meals to the team and the visiting team -

I wonder if someone could sell burgers and hotdogs during the games and the profit go straight to the Team instead of to the consession people? Maybe not every game but say on Saturdays during April at $5 a pop? The girls could walk around preselling them and handing out tickets to people who bought one and then deliver them back to the people when they are ready. Hell, I would throw in some money, with others here I'm sure, to help pay for the burgers and we can call them BB&B Burgers. Don't bash me people. It's different. And at least it's an idea of how to increase revenue. If it could be done I don't know.

That's a great idea excpet for having the girls deliver the burgers. That might get too confusing as people might tend to move around, etc... However, it should be no problem for the purchasers to redeem their tickets themselves. Afterall, it's not like they have to walk across campus.

You can start selling the 1000 cal burger. The one the St. Louis minor league team started a couple years ago. I think selling a rib and cheese on sourdough would do pretty well. Make Ruston the home of the rib and cheese sandwich. I've looked all over the internet no one has a recipe or sells a rib and cheese.

We can cook them and sell them to the concessionaires. Let's let them do their job (and the grillers would make a little money off the concessionaires) and keep everyone happy and well-fed.
BTW, Dwayne, I like your grill (after it's finished out with the proper logos) much, much better than the one previously linked in this thread.

With the swirling winds at JC Love, the aroma of grilled burgers & sausage would permeate the grandstand and be almost unresistable to purchase. I know it's for the team but I think it could be used to make the whole game watching experience even better ( ala the giant pig where they grill burgers at Baum stadium in Fayetteville)

We've discussed the idea of selling burgers as a fundraiser - but that was shut down....



One of the "agreements" made was that we would not compete with the consessionaires....

That doesn't mean that will not be able to think of some unique fund raising avenue - just give us some time....

How about approaching some businesses and see if they can be sold a company picnic to take place before the game in which the grill would be utilized to grill whatever foods they wanted to be grilled. The cost of the package would include tickets to the game as well as maybe a base running for the kids after the game and signed baseballs for each family in attendance. It's done before the game, so it wouldn't be in competition with the concessions and if done right and not a distraction, maybe the people could meet the team and coaches which would picque the interest of the kids and maybe develop some following for the future? Baseball supporters could do the grilling and serving, etc...

I should have figured you already had some ideas.
