Gillette Stadium still has a large portion of their concession stands staffed by non profits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barneveld Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 6 hours ago, LabMaster said: Might have been getting a solid number of volunteers each game and game schedule played a part. There was a minimum requirement of people needed to be in the concession stand. The games could be at 1pm, 4pm or 7pm and you had to be in the stand 3 hours before game time and wound be there an hour after the game . Then be stuck in traffic. Made for a long hard day. Volunteers are the lifeblood of corps and corps support functions. Things need to be easy for most volunteers to devote a lot of time on a regular basis. You pretty much got it. I'll just add it was 20-25 events each year, requiring a minimum of 8-10 people. For 9+ years it was the same 4 or 5 people who worked everything and it was a constant struggle to fill the remaining spots. There were also financial considerations (due to slow sales and not meeting minimum staffing on many occasions). It was no longer a viable fundraising option.
