Robyn Passante spoke with a stadium vendor to understand what their day looks like:

• They begin well before the game starts by helping to prepare the drinks and snacks.
• Over the course of a game they walk around 12,000 steps while lugging around 70 pounds of refreshments.
• This means about 1,300 calories expended and can lead to up to a 10 pound weight loss.
• For their labour they get a 15% commission on sales, and average about $2,000 in profits per game.
• It’s important for vendors to pace themselves so that they’re not too tired for half-time – when profits are highest.
• Location matters. Stands filled with cash poor students are worth less than those who can afford tickets on the 50 yard line.
