FedExField vendors used to be paid from 12 to 14 percent, say the vendors. Last year, Snyder brought in a new concessionaire: Chicago-based industry giant Levy Restaurants. Levy then subcontracted the beer vending to Event Management Solutions. Hahn and other vendors say EMS immediately slashed the employees’ pay rate to the current 8–12 scale.
Vendors say FedExField was already paying the worst commission of any football venue in the Mid-Atlantic region even before the recent wage cut. Sellers working just up I-95 at M&T Bank Stadium for Baltimore Ravens games, for example, get a commission of 13 percent to 20 percent, and reach the 20 percent bonus level after selling $1,500 worth of beer. Baltimore just cut the price of a beer to $7.50, which Hahn says is among the reasons Ravens fans drink more in-house than Skins fans.
