Students and fans of Coastal Carolina University can enjoy free concessions at home football games this fall, the university announced Monday, in partnership with concessions provider Aramark.

Any fan who has purchased a ticket to the game will be eligible to obtain a hot dog, nachos, popcorn and a fountain drink or water each time they visit the concession stand. Fans can visit the stand as many times as they want, but they must scan each trip through the line in the forthcoming Coastal Carolina Athletics App.

"Our fans are the heartbeat of Teal Nation, and we're always looking for ways to elevate their game day experience," Chance Miller, vice president for intercollegiate athletics and university recreation, said in a press release. "With the CCU Kickoff Meal Deal, we're excited to offer free concessions this fall as a way to say thank you for the energy, passion and support they bring to Brooks Stadium every game."

All games. All fans. Feast for free.

You know what they say—the best way to win over college kids is free food. Good work, CCU.
