My theory with this is that this is how they self limit how much people drink. The line is constant at the concession stand so it's not hurting sales. But, very few people are going to go to the game and drink 20 beers all afternoon, get drunk and cause problems because of the cost. 1 Quote Link to comment

I went to a Myrtle Beach Pelicans game (cubs affiliate). They must have thought they were in Chicago because I was paying Chicago prices. $8 for 16oz. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Kinda cool. Garth recorded a message for the UNL graduates this weekend. https://journalstar.com/garth-brooks-message-to-graduates/video_33a8cc7f-df4c-554a-aebe-1578f7c66a04.html 1 Quote Link to comment
FrantzHardySwag Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Our section was out of food an hour before Garth went on stage. Heard of many sections out of both beer and food. It was a beautiful night and my group of 4 had an entire row to ourselves up top, so didn't feel awful from a COVID stand point, for us at least. Security was more active than at husker games, some people got way too drunk, a couple fights from what I saw. Garth put on a great show. Some kinks to work out before beer makes it's way to gameday. 1 Quote Link to comment
