Still surprised they served them in clear cups for that very reason.

Also you cant throw a cup very far. A can is easily thrown pretty far. we will not ever be handing cans out, so everyone can forget about that.

also - right before half time they know they are going to get slammed - so they should get about twenty of each flavor ready and get the first 40 people in line done quickly.

Football will have way more people (hopefully) so they need to think about more people or more stations or some other solution.


Football will probably see more improvements, it is a much bigger stage. Get ready for beer stations all over the concourse! :twisted:

yes couch 'em is right!
I guess they worry about the lines "backing into each other"
they should just sell regular beer at the concessions to ease the lines
premium beers at kiosks
the bathrooms need to at least double in size
add more hand-dryers and paper towel dispensers that work
or add a few pay restrooms to raise some revenue

They need metal detectors at the entrances. I couldn't believe the amount of gunfights this year

I know it has been brought up before, and I can't remember what was said, but does anyone know how the athletic department plans to better utilize that space in the future? Seems like it could be used to get more fans in Moody. There will be a major scramble for season tickets shortly. I can't wait to renew mine!

I believe they're going to expand this overlook from the Hall of Fame club where it covers the concourse below. The initial concern prior to getting the approval to sell beer in the general seating bowl was that people would hand alcohol from the HoF club to people in the seats. With beer accessible everywhere now, they can extend the balcony. Regardless though, I am surprised no one watched games from that balcony. Seems like to HoF club was closed more often than not.
