The Daily Tar Heel Friday, September 12, 19863 Maldmi5 concessions Dy ROCERT WILDERMANN Staff Writer Covering two events in one day caused major difficulties for the employees of Ogden Allied, the company in charge of concessions at UNC. Randy Collins, manager of the UNC branch of Ogden Allied, said that the company used about 700 people from various civil groups to run con cession stands for the two games held last weekend. Some employees ended up working 18-hour shifts in order to get everything ready for both the Pro-Alumni basketball game and the Citadel football game last Saturday, said Collins. The distance between the Dean E. Smith Center and Kenan Stadium further complicated the already difficult task of preparing for both events at once, he said. Because traffic on campus during the football game was so heavy, many employees had to be let out of Kenan early so that they could arrive at the Smith Center ahead of the fans. Although exact figures were unavailable, Collins said that sales so far this year are about the same as last year.

Ogden introduced several new products on Saturday, one of which was a 32-ounce soft drink cup with a handle attached. The drinks, which cost $2 each, turned out to be one of the best-sellers of the day. Ogden sold over 8,000 of these, which ran out long before the games were over. Another one of the better selling items was hot dogs. During the course of the two games, around 15,000 were sold. But not all of the new items introduced sold so well. Stuffed pretzels, which came with four different fillings, sold rather poorly. Collins attributed the lack of sales to the $2 cost and the fact that many fans were not familiar with the product. Many of the fans who attended the Pro-Alumni game in the Smith Center may have noticed something new at the concession areas. Television monitors dis playing the current game action have been installed, saving fans from missing any of the court action while in line.
