Tiger fans will be saying “Hello” to a new kind of concessions this football season — sushi. Local Japanese restaurant Hello Sushi will open three booths inside Tiger Stadium this fall, offering sushi rolls and edamame to about 92,000 people. “Sushi’s been growing more and more [popular in Baton Rouge],” said manager Ashley Clarkson. “We’re hoping fans will think about us when they’re going to get their peanuts and hot dogs.” The booths will open this Saturday for the home opener against Vanderbilt in the stadium’s student section, visitor section and on the fourth floor of its south entrance. Game goers can pick between the super cali roll and the crawfish roll — Hello Sushi menu items that can hold up well in the Louisiana heat. Although the price is not finalized yet, Clarkson said rolls will be sold for about $7. An order of edamame will cost about $5, she said. The University will receive part of the sales, Clarkson said. Hello Sushi General Manager Stephanie Leblanc said she is excited about the project, which has been in the works for a while. “LSU is pretty picky as far as who they allow in the concession area,” Leblanc said. “But once they came into Hello Sushi, they were impressed.” Leblanc said the booths will have the same modern, Anime design featured in the restaurant. And while the concept of eating sushi at a football game might seem a bit odd, she said it will work. “There are a lot of people who are trying to be a little more health conscious,” Leblanc said. “It’s a great item that’s also a finger food … much healthier than hot dogs or nachos.”Hello Sushi has two locations near campus — one on Burbank Drive and one on Highland Road. Clarkson said the booths will be managed by Hello Sushi servers and one of the restaurant’s head sushi chefs will be at the stadium to answer questions.In addition to Hello Sushi, Great American Cookie Company, Honey Baked Ham, Chick-fil-A, Triple B’s Cajun Cuisine, Repicci’s Italian Ice, Hershey’s and the LSU Dairy Store will all have locations in Tiger Stadium this season, according to Larry Wallace of Tiger Concessions.—-Contact Kyle Bove at [email protected]
