Mmmm....Coagulated
Much has been made of the Olmedo Saenz memorial pavilion in right field. For the low, low price of 40 dollars, you can shove Dodger Dogs down your throat until you get violently ill all over the person in front of you. I immediately thought this was the worst idea since Disco Demolition night, but then I remembered that beer sales were already banned in the right field pavilion thanks to previous generations of drunken hooligans. Fortunately, any system that grants you infinite amounts of anything is ripe for exploitation. Since Dodger Stadium lets you bring in bags, why not just stock up on 100 cartons of Cracker Jack? Running low on stale chips? Why not pick up a few dozen trays of nachos? Heck, even reheated Dodger Dogs can't be that bad, even if you have to supply your own buns.
The main thing I'm curious about is how many times Brad Hawpe needs to get clocked in the head with a free Cool-A-Coo before Frank McCourt puts a stop to this? If someone is willing to try to douse Calvin Murray with a five-dollar coke, how many pre game beers do you need before Carlos Quentin is wearing some coagulated cheese food product? The first law of crowds is that if you give them enough foreign objects, they will end up as projectiles. I'm thinking that the Olmedo Sanez pavilion won't last past the end of May.

2 buck chuck.
I'm not trying to be stereotypical in saying that people who pay only 2 dollars for a game are all bad people.....just most of them.
Anyway, making people pay 40 bucks per person may turn some people off.

The rich get fatter
If they threw beer in with the offer, I'd be a RFP season ticket holder.

Free Food
Furthermore, even if you eat so much that it's worth it to sit in the pavillions, I've read on sites like Dodgerblues, that the pavillions are hellholes, which seems to me the biggest reason not to sit there, free food or no.

Re
Without beer, 30 dollars worth of food is possible, but unpleasent. It comes out to three dogs, some nachos, two large drinks and some ice cream. I might try to attempt it on a particulary hot day, where I could go through two or three drinks, other wise, it's not possible for me.

The tarp. . .of SHAME!
I like the Pavilions. It's easier to see balls and strikes, out there. The wave, and all the other attendant foolishness are irritating, but if you go on a quiet night, it's not so bad. But I won't be sitting in the glutton for punishment pavilion.
