I've heard that the school was pushing to sell alcohol in Ford within the past few years, but because UP was dry that was impossible. That is why I brought this up to see if anyone knows the law as far as if UP will be forced to become wet if this passes. And taking this further, if SMU has any plans under the new regime to pursue alcohol sales.
At the very least I believe they should provide an area for season ticket holders to purchase beverages in an area similar to the Mustang Stables. If I recall correctly (it's been a few years, I could be WAY off) but I believe that was the original thinking behind the stables. You can make it a club by charging season ticket holders a nominal membership fee and that way the University has somewhat of a control on who drinks, i.e no students...who knows, it might even force people like jtstang to buy season tix because that would be the only way they would be able to drink. It's not ideal for the causal fan who wants a brew, but it would be better than the flask route...whiskey angers my blood, and so does SMU football, not a good combo.
I'll fire off an email to Orsini and see if I can get a straight answer.
I don't know that it is a UP issue, seeing as how they sold beer inside the Stadium Club this season.
You can buy beer if you sign up for a Unicard which means you are buying alcohol in a private club
