Watch: Food delivery interrupts Loyola-Duquesne game originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
It’s understandable that fans may not be thrilled about the cost of concession items at a sporting event, but this is taking it one step too far.
A Wednesday night basketball game between Loyola-Chicago and Duquesne in Pittsburgh was interrupted in what can only be described as one of the most bizarre ways possible, as a person apparently delivering a bag of food tried to walk onto the court during play, only to be ordered away by the game official:

Fan theories began to pour in after the incident, with some suggesting that the official made the food order at halftime, or that the delivery was staged as part of a guerilla Super Bowl advertisement campaign.
