Snacks and concessions seem to taste better at sporting events, don’t they?
Sure, you can grill a tasty hot dog and pour yourself an ice-cold drink at home, but let’s be real, a dog at the turn or a beer at a ballgame are undeniably better.
If you’re a spectator in the gallery at the 121st U.S. Open this week at Torrey Pines in San Diego, be prepared to wait for your refreshment. For a long while.
During Thursday’s opening round of play, Twitter user @AJVoelpel shared a video of a concession stand – named Fan Oasis To-Go, ironically enough – with a line so long you couldn’t see the end.

If you want a beer at the US Open, you either have to wait 2+ hours or find me and buy one for $20 (or 3 for $50). pic.twitter.com/wmrne7ayzl

If you’re planning to attend any of the next three rounds, you might want to make sure you’re properly hydrated. It might take you a minute to snag a water snack.
