With close to a million people coming through the doors of Rupp Arena each year, you can imagine that we sell quite a bit of food at our concession stands. Since another arena season has come to an end (June 2009 – June 2010), we decided to tally up all those hot dogs, ice cream cones, and other food and drink to give you some statistics, courtesy of our concessions manager. Enjoy!

During the 2009/2010 season at Rupp Arena events:

• 6,564,100 ounces of Coca Cola soft drinks were served, which is 51,282 gallons.
• 3,175 gallons of Flavorich soft serve ice cream were served.
• 655 kegs or 10,152 gallons of draft beer were consumed. The average 4 ft. deep, 12 foot wide above ground pool contains approximately 3,400 gallons.
• 1,010 gallons of Nacho Cheese were consumed.
• 2.8 tons of Nacho Chips were consumed.
• 4.8 tons of popcorn were consumed.
• 108.6 miles of Ball Park Franks and Hillshire Farms Polish Sausage served. That’s three round trips from Lexington to Georgetown.
