terms of that time to think about this. especially with such a crowded field, to be able to stand out, to start the fund-raising. i think you're looking at the end of this month, early march. if you haven't gotten in by that time, it's going to be hard to make a splash. >> 17-member bipartisan negotiating committee here in congress. on the dispute over whether or not the border wall is going to actually happen. what can you tell us about those discussions? >> listen, there's two weeks, that is not a lot of time. although in congressional terms that's -- they've come to make a deal. right now, a lot of the shadowboxing is happening with the white house saying, you know, we want a fence, we want a wall. and the hill, democrats and republicans saying stay away, we do not want the president near this kind of negotiation. we can come to a deal without that. i would say it's going to come down to the last minute like the deals always do. >> it seems to be the president is pushing it toward an emergency s. that what you think he wants to do? >> certainly he met with aides

beverages that average fans can afford. dana jacobson reported on the novel concept when it was first introduced, and now dana has a followup. dana? >> reporter: anthony, thank you very much. you know, when falcons owner arthur blank founded the home depot, he did so trying to keep the customer experience and pricing as a top priority. he took the model to mercedes-benz stadium and is hoping to change the concession game around the country. $5 beers and $2 hot dogs for fans at mercedes-benz stadium have been too hard to resist. exactly what falcons owner arthur blank are in mind when he told us about the fan-friendly pricing concept in 2017. >> i'd hear fans, just people complaining about it all the time. i said to the management team, we need to price it every day the same way they would pay anyplace else they went in the city of atlanta. >> reporter: you're a businessman. this sounds like it could help the bottom line in ways. >> i think over time, i think
4:46 am
we'll see that. we're still trying to sort through that. our volumes are up dramatically compared to the georgia dome. >> reporter: blank, who was on wall street to ring the opening bell, has received a big return on his investment of family-friendly pricing. rich mckay is the falcons president and ceo -- our per caps, what people spent in our building year over year first year in the stadium versus the dome, 16% up with a 50% decrease in price. we did not foresee that. maybe arthur did in his wisdom, but we didn't. >> reporter: the increased concession sales was a win-win for the falcons. higher profits and happier fans. in 2017, the all in rag season for mercedes-benz -- inaugural season for mercedes-benz, atlanta ranked number one in every food and beverage category. >> number one in every category. it's not hard to figure out that if you listen to the fans, you do what they ask, they'll deliver. >> reporter: was this about making money, or was it the right thing to do?
4:47 am
>> the rye thing to do. the right thing to do, it's incredible how oftentimes leads to making money. >> reporter: which is why nfl teams like the baltimore ravens and the detroit lions have followed the falcons' lead. something else arthur blank had envisioned. >> we're hoping that will set an example for other people, not only in atlanta really but throughout the united states. >> he has absolutely been successful, gutsy, smart move. >> reporter: scott rosser in, director of columbia university's sports management program, thinks blank has changed the next generation of sports stadiums. >> you talk about lifetime value of customers, and the lifetime value of the customer for the atlanta sports fan is, i think, quite higher now because people want to go there. they don't feel like they're being taken advantage of. it's an affordable experience. regime in baltimore, the -- >> reporter: in baltimore, the ravens offer a meal for a family of four for $44, a savings of 34%. in detroit this past season,
4:48 am
fans could get a hot dog other soda, and chibs for $10, or with a beer for $12. and the fan-friendly pricing is catching on. atlanta united which plays at mercedes-benz is under the same stadium pricing as the falcons. the baltimore orioles and college teams like the university of texas have also dropped prices. but know right away that was something that might work for you? >> no, no. we had to study the numbers -- >> reporter: steve koonin is ceo of the atlanta hawks and state farm arena. >> the fan satisfaction scores for concession are the highest they've ever been. >> reporter: is it as simple as show people a good time and they'll spend more in the end? >> i think it's show them a good value. the quality of what we're serving is as importance as the price. that creates a value. >> reporter: one other key -- accessibility which was something the team considered with the arena's recent renovation. from an increase in the number of concession stands to, like the falcons, moving the soda
4:49 am
machines out from behind the counter. >> the speed of service is important. it's all about the total experience. >> thank you. enjoy. >> i doubt we would have ever done it had the falcons not done it. but once up convert and believe, there's a deep-seeded belief this is the right thing to do. >> reporter: whether it's at state farm arena or back at mercedes-benz, doing the right thing means without exception. the pricing in effect for super bowl liii will be the same as it's been for every event in the building. >> i think the nfl will come around. i'm not sure they loved it before. >> reporter: they may appreciate it on super bowl sunday when they're buying their meals. >> there will be -- will certainly be a volume. they'll see a volume like they've not seen before. people will be in the building for the first time, they're always a little like really, i can have the two hot dogs, two sodas, popcorn, i can have a beer, and i'mller 0? that urgely shocks people.
4:50 am
>> reporter: which mayhy sports stadiums and arenas may be just the beginning with one of the bigger movie theater chains reaching out to mckay and his team for insight. >> we showed them everything we got. we keep checking to see, okay, when are you going to pull the trigger. >> reporter: i had the chance to ask roger goodell about the pricing model, whether he would like to see it in other stadiums. he said while it was a bold move to do it with the falcons, he said it is up to each individual team, guys, to decide what their pricing model will be. >> makes so much sense. it's so simple, but it makes so much sense. so many of have us been to games, and you feel like you're a captive customer and being ripped off. >> nobody wants to feel ripped off. >> reporter: yeah, and one of the things they said is they were trying to figure out whether or not when people spend less on the food and beverage, do they spend more on merchandise. the falcons said it was hard to judge because in their time, the falcons had been doing so well, they couldn't tell if that's why people were buying more merchandise. steve koonin told me he has
4:51 am
noticed that people are spending more money on those things. it's, again, the win-win model for the teams that are trying it. >> how about just feed hungry people and leave it at that. see you later. >> thanks. computers are already winning at checkers and chess. but this challenge required a lighter touch. up next, how grad students taught a machine to master the game of jenga, and how the new skills may have practical applications. and if you're heading out the door, don't forget to set your dvr to record "cbs this morning saturday." coming up in our next hour, we'll go back to atlanta and hear from "nfl today" host james brown on tomorrow's big game. plus, brian furman in "the dish" and music from steve gunmen ahead. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." the day after chemo shouldn't mean going back to the doctor just for a shot. with neulasta onpro patients get their day back...
