flatwaterfan Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 It doesn't matter to me if they sell beer or not, however if it draws more fans than it's a plus. Not sure where it fits in with the B1G. Quote Link to comment
hskerholic Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I think they sell beer at Minnesota home football games. Not for sure but when watching last weeks game I saw a few people in the stands with what looks like draft beer. Go Big Red! Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I ran a thread on this several months ago and the consensus was that even with T.O. moving on, the Regents would never allow it.......................fwiw.............. 1 Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I would like to be able to have a beer while at the game, but if it would lead to a Creighton crowd I say no way. Yeah, yeah, they are usually among the tops in the nation for attendance and it does get loud there, but don't let anyone fool you: that is not a "great" crowd. The arena is less than half full until tipoff and doesn't completely fill in until many minutes into the game. It is a social even for nearly half the people there, I do not want that. I'd take 7,000 sober diehards over 14,000 tipsy casuals any day of the week... but that's just me. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerFanChuck Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yeah, Comish, I remember being a part of that thread. I just can't see the Regents going for it. That said, it's already been stated that beer sales will be allowed, at least for hockey games, at the new UNO arena. So I guess never say never. But then, that's a little different situation too, considering they already have had beer sales at hockey games at the CLink, and I think the concern there is trying to put the stuff back in the bottle once its already out, so to speak. Considering we've never had alcohol sales at Husker bball games, I could see the Regents not wanting to start. So yeah, doubtful the Regents are going to allow it. Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 If they ever want Hockey, I think beer is going to be a must. Quote Link to comment
Husker no ka oi Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Uni of Hawaii sells beer at every event. Quote Link to comment

I understand the need to put butts in the seats of the new arena. Sitting next to people who drink can be a pain in the bupkiss. If I'm there to watch a game I don't want some lush leaving every 10 minutes to go pee and return with two more beers. Plus the crap that often comes out of their mouths when they are drunk turns decent people into idiots. I've been to too many events that I paid good money for only to have it be less than it could have been because of heavy drinkers around me. 5 Quote Link to comment
Vizsla1 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I am guessing that the new arena will be selling beer especially with TO retiring. Just my .02. Quote Link to comment

fighting_pelinis Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 If it puts butts in the seats, I am all for it. I just don't want to hear "I told you so" when the attendance numbers for bball games are low at the new arena. Heck, sell whatever you can to get butts in the seats. The people that attend may actually enjoy Nebrasketball. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 7m Shawn Eichorst told local reporters there is no plan to sell beer at PBA in the near future. Said he doesn't see a place for it at NU. Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 4m Eichorst on beer sales at games: "I don't think that has any role in college athletics, particularly at a place like Nebraska." #Huskers Quote Link to comment
