I think there's usually a tinge of anger in the loudest crowds. You gotta want to beat the other team's asses to get to the highest volume

+1 I was fired up for Miami in '14 and that was as loud as I've heard the old place.  People got more angry as the game went on.

I didn't go, even though I lived nearby at the time, and that was the only game in the time that I lived there where I could hear the crowd at my apt. Also, the TV was on a bit of a delay, so I always knew when something big was about to happen.

We were in Lot 7 tailgating and watching it on the TV at our tailgate...that delay was so annoying!

I used to listen to the radio with the TV volume off when I lived in Nebraska but radio on the computer has a delay as well

Might as well.  Can partner with some local breweries and create an even better experience.  Besides I could really use an empyrean porter while watching the big hogmollies pancake a fool.

Not so fast my friends,

 

There may be a problem lurking in the future.

 

A news report of a July 2 fire destroyed a JIM BEAM warehouse.  The loss from fire included 45000 barrels (approximately 53 gallons each) of bourbon.

Then again, a Jim Beam rep states that 45000 barrels is less than 1% of their inventory.

July 2, 2019 - a day that will live in infamy.

It hasn't been there already?

My parents once talked about how they brought a Thermos of a mix of Hot Chocolate and Peppermint Schnapps to a Cold Raining Nebraska game. 

Just recently at this years Spring game, a security guard found a few bottles of the shot size rum at the end of a row.  I'm sure someone added it to their Pop from the concessions. 

If they allow beer, they'll need more security to check the isles for fans that have had too much and picking fights.

You kinda argued against your own point here. People are already either getting drunk before the game, bringing alcohol in, or both. Having it in the stadium is more convenient and will generate more revenue (although the bars might take a bit of a hit).

Didn't think it was probably worth starting a new thread but really think it is only a matter of time:

 

 

 

Illinois, Indiana, Rutgers:  "PLEASE COME TO OUR GAMES, WE HAVE BEER!!!"

[Red Five]

What will happen first:  beer at Husker FB games or legal sports betting in Nebraska?

Well, sports betting is federally legalized so the latter.

I thought the CWS beer sales would cause problems and I haven't seen any.  Most NU fans already have a good buzz going in there--I also go out at half and drink so the game is my sober time.  I like that.  Beer at Memorial absolutely will happen.  I doubt they will sell it in the stands...those kids working there work very hard.  I hate to see them get sidelined by beer sales.
