Comish Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (Not sure if this is the correct forum for posting).......didn't seem like it would fit in JUST football or basketball...........move if needed. With a new A.D. and T.O. being a major reason we don't allow alcohol, I'm just wondering how long before that stance changes (especially in Pinnacle Arena) Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Do many college facilities allow alcohol? Quote Link to comment
HuskerFanChuck Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Not happening. TO MAY (I emphasize 'may') have been a part of the reason, but I would tend to bet there are some others (boosters) that wouldn't want to tread down that path. And if TO was the influence behind not having it, why didn't that change in the time TO wasn't in the athletic department? He was gone for 9-10 years, depending on how you're rounding. I think a major shift in thinking would have to happen by a lot of people before alcohol is openly allowed at any UNL athletic events. MHO on the subject. Quote Link to comment

I actually am not advocating it. I've just heard the stories about what a difference it supposedly made for Creighton basketball attendance. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Unless they move Memorial Stadium off campus, it ain't happening. 1 Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Basketball and Baseball would make total sense. Quote Link to comment
husker_hurdler Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 The only one that makes sense would be Nebrasketball games. For the rest of campus----not going to happen. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFanChuck Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 O-H is right, though. If you're going to make the argument for basketball games, baseball games really goes right along with it. Again, for the reasons I stated above, I don't think it'll ever happen. People can hope, but unless the campus goes wet, I don't see alcohol being sold at Husker sporting events. Too many boosters that won't want it, and would press to not allow it. That, and I doubt the regents will ever allow it. They're the ones responsible to the voters, and I would tend to guess the vast majority of voters in this state wouldn't want it. Just don't see it happening, at least not any time soon. Quote Link to comment

Anyway, my original OP was the over/under at 2 years and I'll take the over. (The REAL question is.................what do we have to do to get COKE products sold at the venues) !! 1 Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Wouldn't the final decision be up to the board of regents? I really don't know anything on who decides these issues but they always seem to have the final say in what the school is doing. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFanChuck Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I believe so, ZRod. And I know you weren't necessarily advocating, Comish. Just don't see it happening. And agreed, this isn't the only place I've seen it mentioned, and a lot of people seem to think it's possible. I just think a lot of them are thinking what they'd want, as opposed to the reality of the situation, and what would really need to change in order for it to happen. And FWIW, I'll take the overs too. Quote Link to comment
MichiganMan Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 stadium can't be university owned. NCAA rule. Camp Randall Is owned by the city of Madison, thats why Wisconsin serves booze. Michigan did obtain a temp license for the Winter Classic however because its a pro game. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 They had alcohol in Memorial when I was in college. I should know. I brought it to every game I attended. Bota bag! Rum and cokes!! Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Not going to happen. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Enough people are puckheads enough. We do not need alcohol at the games. Too many people drink way too much of it before and after as it is. Quote Link to comment
