Unless the way business is done at major league sports stadiums has changed from a couple decades ago not patronizing the concession stands hurts the operators and employees of those businesses mostly and not the stadium owner.

My mother worked in city hall in the city of Anaheim from the mid 70's to the late 90's. The California Angels had played their since 1966 to present and the Los Angeles Rams from 1980-1994. The city owned the stadium and most of the money made off the concessions were from leasing space. Most of the leases were 5-10 years. That is where most of the money came from, not the 2-5% the city took from gross sales depending on the item.

Unfortunately Snyder's bottom line isn't effected much by those that don't indulge in beer, soda and hotdogs.
