Books on the design of ball parks do not discuss contract negotiations.
McCamant & Durrett's book was written by architects for architects. It is
usually shelved in urban planning.

There are so many issues hidden in "who's cooking tonight" that I wonder how
it ever gets worked out. Currently we are doing "bring your own dinners" and
it is going very well. Some bring a whole spread (placemats, napkins, two
vegetables, etc), some bring take out Chinese, and some bring a plate of
leftovers or a deli sandwich.

So far so good.
