Hey, Why Can't I Buy Salt Potatoes in the Carrier Dome?

If you're reading this, you probably either live in the Central New York area or are very familiar with it. If you've ever been to Syracuse, you've probably had the amazing taste of salt potatoes in your mouth at some point (Ed. Note - TWSS).

Salt potatoes date all the way back to the early 1800s in Syracuse history. It has been a staple as a side dish or snack for hundreds of years. So, naturally, it would only make sense to have two Syracuse favorites (athletics and salt potatoes) at the same time. But we can't. And my question to you is: WHY?!

While I openly admit I scarf down Dome Dogs and nachos after a few cocktails like everybody else, I can't help but feel like there is more to be desired. The Dome has minimal specialty food options, which can get real stale for those of us eating the same thing 5-6 times a year in the Fall and 19-20 times in the Winter.

So why not bring a cup of salt potatoes to the menu? It's something the people of Syracuse have enjoyed since what seems like the beginning of time. It goes perfect with a hamburger or domedog, and it makes you thirsty for more beer. The benefits are truly endless.

I want salt potatoes brought to the Carrier Dome. I already pay an absurd amount for a hot dog, and would be fully prepared to pay another absurd amount for some salt potatoes to go with it.

Because if salt potatoes won't sell, what will?
