Each season, members of non-profit organizations from the local area and as far as Alabama take ownership of concession stands at both venues to raise money and are therefore responsible for the inventory, cash handling, cleaning, food preparation, and customer service to guests during an event. A large majority of organizations raised over $10,000 last season.
