Starting with BYU no less lol

I still think the beer lines will be 30 minutes long at gametime. Pouring each beer takes a long time.

BOOM?

Funny that people will wait that long for their $8 pour, while missing the action. That’s hard for me to do.

There’s something funny about us starting this while playing a religious school.
Since Mormons can’t drink (publicly), I wonder what they will think if somebody pukes up beer on them.

I'm glad they're implementing this ahead of most other SEC schools. Should be a significant amount of revenue from sales so that's a revenue stream other schools aren't capitalizing on at the moment.

Missouri, Texas A&M, Arkansas, LSU, & Vanderbilt have already implemented it as well. Ole Miss might be added to that list very soon that would be half the SEC teams

I would always smuggle in some Jack or Jim Beam usually or drink a decent bit before the game. I’m in my 40’s now and don’t drink as much but if this increases profits and revenue which I think it will I’m all for it. I wouldn’t want to wait in those long ass lines though and miss the action.

Living up here in Maryland, I go to the Ravens games all of the time. They don't just sell the alcohol at the concession stands. They have freestanding carts all over the place. Which this article mentions. There are those kiosks everywhere, so the lines are not that long. The difference is in pro stadiums they also come to you just like with food and cokes. So we'll see how long it takes until that starts. And they do ask for ID when they come to you as well. Plus, they cut off alcohol sales at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Imagine how many more fights you will get to see in the stands, how much more puke and dehydrated drunks you will get to witness......The inhibitions will be loose and wild.....Neyland will be next level.....a win win win.....

As opposed to the guy that’s been binge drinking Jack because they don’t serve in the stadium??

Every study shows that selling alcohol in the stadium reduces incidents.

All I can say is: Upper deck under the jumbo, they better install a fence! I have see folks "tumble" a row or two in years past. Can't get too much worse but on hot days, and legal beer and less than great football, look out!!!

Unless it's kinda flat...

Being a Neyland does not constitute being public does it? I thought everyone here was FAMILY or friends. Home folks!!

 

[RollerVol]

lot more people will be singing Rocky Top...LOUD!...

GO BIG ORANGE!

 

[Volfan76]

Yay...more drinking among a tightly packed 100,000 people. What could go wrong.

Because of course no one binge drinks before the game, or sneaks liquor in at the moment? Never a drunk person in the stadium prior to 9/7/2019.

I know, currently if I had a dollar for every drunk asshat I witnessed in the stadium, I would be able to afford the box seats and bring in my own whiskey (which I cannot confirm nor deny that hasn'thappened in the past)

 

[Power T-Rev]

I've never really understood the fascination with sneaking alcohol into a game. I've never felt the need to get drunk to enjoy the game. That's just me though. To each their own

I don't see any of that at Preds, Titans or Sounds games.
