Is there a kitchen area nearby where they can make exclusive menu items? I feel like you'd definitely be looking at hiring more staff if that happens. I think for this season, it's good enough. I really like it. I'm sure the university will be looking at ways to improve it in the future.

A great appetizer offering and a few items. I can roll in early, get a beer or two with some food. Love the idea and start, next season lets grow it!

I was especially interested in how well it is being patronized. Alan offered he witnessed that it wasn't especially busy during halftime of a week night game. I hope to observe today for a sample of how well they seem to be doing during a Saturday pregame.

One thing that would help would to have the OU game on the TVs. I'd think they'd sell more product for those who want to watch the game. As it is now, you have to pretty much chug a beer or glass of wine to get back your seat for the second half. I'm sure they'll fine tune it over time and constructive comments on this board will certainly help.

Decent crowd at times, with game on and better snack options it would be a little more packed especially on doubleheader days.

Saturday I would have stayed there longer had OUr game been on the screen. And there's really no reason they can't set up the feed to the largest screen in there. There's an opportunity for this to be a big(ger) success if they fine tune things.

I know that sounds weird. But I always have a meal out before the game in Athens, and have a long list of great places I like to visit...so I have no interest in pre-gaming inside the Convo. Then, once the game begins...I hate to miss even a single possession. I definitely agree they need to find a way to get ESPN+ going on those TVs and get the game on the screen. It is kind of silly otherwise.

Shouldn't be to hard to run a "cable" (sorry dinosaur) over to the Hardwood House and show the same programming.

It is odd that with the large screens they have in there, the Big 12 and BIG games are on, but the women's game going on in the Convo is not on at least one of the 4 really nice Hi Def TVs in there.
