It feels almost deliberate it's so bad. I also waited for a half hour at half time in a food line. The woman in front of us said she left the Woodlands at 5:30 to come to the game and hadn't been to her seats yet (it was close to 9).
When you consider how amazing the NFL is at presenting their product on TV it amazes me they put so little into presenting it in person. I don't like the Rockets but I went to 2 games last year and the presentation was so much better. The NFL holds you hostage in the stadium for a 4 hour game and they mostly don't care if you like it because if you don't someone else will.
All hail the Falcons who have made huge steps to change the gameday experience. They sell almost all their food for under $5 and drinks are $2. This has allowed families to show up early and eat there on Sundays, and that in turn has greatly lessened entrance lines since people arrive spread out through the day. And with the lower prices they led the NFL in concessions revenue and sold more in stadium Merch than anyone in the NFL since people were there longer and were happier about being there.
