I just don't see it changing much. Having been to a bunch of away games that serve beer it didn't change much for me. The only thing that does suck is I had to pee more during the game and had to plan to make it to the quarter or half, but really haven't seen anything different at college stadiums that you don't already see.

Why we need the new and improved Memorial stadium with better seating and more bathrooms. Once I break the seal I'll miss half the game in the pisser.😰

I don't know if this changes much for me other than the fact that I think they should have done this years ago.

I am still sneaking in my shooters, just because it is fun and nostalgic.

I suppose I might buy a beer and just add some shooters to that beer.

For me personally, I just can't see this making me spend a ton more money.

I get tickets for free, me and my friends sneak in shooters. When we are in lincoln we basically pay for parking and beers at the bar.

Yeah I'm generally a cheap skate when it comes to alcohol at games/concerts. Went to the Charlotte Coliseum a couple years ago with Mrs Kakdawg and she went and got a couple beers for us. She had modelo and I had a yuengling. Both 20 Oz draft. She brought the receipt back and it was 33 bucks. That was the first and last beers we had that night lol.

Caught a midnight happy hr at a local bar after the concert and made up for all we missed that night. Great show though. MT Westmore. Snoop dog, Too Short, Ice Cube and E 40 lol.

I agree.

I am not buying beers to just sip and enjoy the taste. I want to get a nice buzz going and I don't want to spend 16 dollars per beer to do that.

11 bucks for a Bud Light šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
The prices that they come up with for these beers!

What does a 6 pack of Bud Light tall boys cost? 9 dollars, maybe?

It is not like they are paying for the overhead like a bar is, the stadium is already there, that cost has been fixed and covered. They are not adding more hours or labor any skilled labor.

Retail cost to them is less than $ 1.

I know there is always the "More people getting drunk" crowd but is that really a thing?

You have a few groups of fans at the game.

You have fans that sneak booze in and you have fans that don't.

The ones that sneak it in are going to still sneak it in and/or buy beers.

The ones that don't, well, are they really going to all of a sudden get shitfaced at the game when they don't normally do that all because they are selling beers now?

Exactly while spending 11 dollars a beer to get shitfaced . Thats going to be an expensive drunk.

My thoughts exactly. I enjoy a cold one as much as the next man but when it gets to the point that you are buying one beer at an event at the price of an entire 12 pack or more count me out. I'll have a few before I come in and sneak a few mini bottles in for consumption at some point šŸ˜†
