The Dude Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I guess we could ask this, first. Would you buy beer if it was sold at Memorial Stadium? 2 at a time. 1 Quote Link to comment

Abdullah the Butcher Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 If you read the article Minnesota said the incidents of disorderly behavior went down after allowing alcohol inside the stadium, my guess is that people don't go to the games sh#t faced now because they can get some beer inside.

ZRod Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 And those are a few examples out of the hundreds of millions of fans that attend games each year... Yeah, I know. The thing about selling alcohol is that it doesn't make a difference to 99% of the people, but the 1% ruins it for everybody. I just really don't see the relevance. They could have just as likely been heavily intoxicated outside of the stadium and caused the issues when they came in. Quote Link to comment

I bought beer at the Minny game last year...it was packed (the beer lines) and I did not see anyone acting crazy. How many beers would they sell at a Hukser home game? 40,000? Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 i would imagine you would probably have to spend around $50 to get drunk if you just drank at the game. i tend to agree with the people thinking this may limit alcohol related incidents because people would be less inclined to get ripped before the game. but nonetheless, i never like the attitude of making decisions based on the lowest common denominator. the people causing problems because they are drunk already exist. why limit everyone else's enjoyment because of a few irresponsible drunks (who will most like find a way to be drunk regardless). 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm going to sound like I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth but I'm still against selling beer there. But....it is harder to get drunk at the game because you have to get up, go to the concession stand, wait in line (which could get long) and then get back to your seat. Most people are not going to do that very many times because they want to watch the game. If it takes 15 minutes to do that they are missing large parts of the game. So, at most, the usual fan is going to drink 1-3 beers at a game. Quote Link to comment

Lightweight! lol. first draft had an estimate of $100 to get drunk, but i was worried what people would think. i guess i was thinking for the average person, maybe. but my guess is it would be $8 a beer. so regardless, it is going to cost you to get sloppy.

Apathy Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I don't understand how people can get sooooo stupid when consuming alcohol. Quote Link to comment
JGS30 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'd prefer to keep it how it is. Nebraska has the best stadium with great fans. Adding alcohol might damage that image, cause there's always a couple idiots that can't handle their boos. Quote Link to comment
