Priya Krishna goes behind the scenes at Barclays Center in Downtown Brooklyn to meet the "popcorn engineers," Miss Deb and Mahogany, two long-tenured concession employees and friends. They are responsible for making enough popcorn for over 15,000 basketball fans during a WNBA game, including for 20 stands, 4 portable stations, 30 suites, and 4 clubs. The video showcases their diligent process, from preparing 50-pound bags of kernels with special seasoning to distributing the freshly popped bags across the arena, all before tip-off. Their dedication ensures every fan, no matter where they're seated, enjoys the same quality popcorn. The women also reflect on the growing popularity of women's sports and the strong bond they've built over years of working together.
