Eat from your seat
Unlike other sports, soccer doesn't provide enough breaks to let people go to the concession stand.
At a baseball game, there are breaks every half-inning. In football and basketball, you can go between quarters - or, frankly, during the game - without missing much.
But at a soccer match, when there may be only a single goal scored during an entire game, there's always the chance that goal will happen while you're in line ordering nachos.
A service debuting Saturday night at Rio Tinto Stadium, during Real Salt Lake's match against the New England Revolution, aims to answer that conundrum.
RSLExpress will allow fans to order food via text message - and have it delivered to their seats in the stadium. (You have to create an account online first, so the service can bill your credit card.)
The company behind the service, Mangia, is based in Salt Lake City, and was founded in 2007 by two Brigham Young University grads, Nate Checketts and Blake Ferguson. (Yes, Nate's dad, Dave Checketts, owns Real Salt Lake.)
If they can solve the problem of having to leave to use the restroom, they'll become billionaires.
