Let's Discuss: Pros and Cons of selling alcohol inside DWS

[BossDawg]

Try living in Calhoun county were only one small town in the center of the county is wet (liquor).

I can't believe it got that far. I guess Big Creek still won't lose any business.

Hey. Hey....Just because you don't like to take a drink, don't ram your beliefs down our throats, Eliot Ness!!!!****

NICE. Beard +1

just be "good enough"... until you "upset the apple cart"...

and if one can do that long enough/better, you can get away with anything.

The ability to buy beer in the stadium would keep me from having to smuggle in scotch = a less drunk me. I'm all for it. It'd be nice to remember the end of a game for a change.

[Jack Lambert]

I disagree. People all over bring their own in anyway after slamming drinks at the tailgate because they dont sell anything at the game. We didnt have any problems in the End Zone where people have lockers full of alcohol.

The only people that get hit with bells are dumbasses like Ole Missus Frat Boy in 95 that get in the wrong people's face talking shit.

Where we sit I am reall scared my son is going to drop his cowbell on someones head.

He's eleven. What can I say? Boy wants to get drunk, I let him. He has to grow up sooner or later. I might buy him a hooker when he is 13.

Has any one said how much money the University could stand to make from this? It would be a fortune! I say do it and just let the blue hairs bitch. The money will outweigh any cons.

One possible con could be that students may get the urge to toss their beer in the air during a big play.

[drunkernhelldawg]

I think it's too imitative of professional sports. I, a drinker who is basically opposed to any alcohol law, do not think it's a good idea for DWS. It also makes the stadium less family friendly.

Leading to more sales for replacements. Incentives to run up the score as well.

I blacked out & left the stadium during the 4th quarter of the 2013 Egg Bowl & had to ask who won the next day. I will never forgive myself.

I am no lawyer but I just don't buy the idea that we can't have both cowbells and alcohol. I mean can't you buy one of those little wooden souvenir bats at pro baseball stadiums? Because those things could easily be used as a weapon. Hell, restaurants/bars serve alcohol in glass bottles.....people turn those bottles into weapons pretty regularly and I have never heard of the establishment being sued for providing the "weapon." Every establishment that serves alcohol is full of things that could be used as a weapon, even though they weren't intended to be used as a weapon. So I just don't see how MSU could be held liable for someone using a cowbell as a weapon, when that is not its intended use.

[Coach34]

Exactly Sandwolf

Anything progressive at Miss State is always met with complaining and fright.

Take him to the Pony when he's 12 to give him something to look forward to.

That is nothing. No liquor anywhere in Attala County. Have to drive to Durant, West or Vaiden and you better be packing if you go at night. Kosciusko is voting to change this within the city limits tomorrow though, I think.

They started selling beer at West Virginia football games 3 years ago and not only did it double their concession revenue but they also reported lower alcohol citations.

Concession sales totaled $613,651 in the 2010-11 season and $744,082 this season, said athletics spokesman Mike Fragale. Add in beer sales, and the total for this past season was $1.26 million.

In pitching a change to the school's alcohol policy last year, Athletic Director Oliver Luck estimated WVU could make as much as $1.2 million a season in beer sales alone, depending on weather, attendance and team performance. This past season, it made nearly $520,000.

Woody, who gathered data from stadium staff and from WVU and city police, also said the number of calls, arrests and charges filed on game days was down across the board. That included underage drinking and open container violations.

They were probably all shocked that you could buy alcohol instead on making your own.
