I doubt the cup costs $0.40. It's much flimsier than typical plastic stadium cups. I'm currently drinking out of my 2002-03 SMU Rec Sports & Spirit cup. That's real plastic. :P

SMU has the highest prices of any stadium. UH's were more last year and are just under SMU's. $4 for popcorn and $4 for soda. $7 for BEER.


If we sold beer, we could charge less for the Cokes and water.

If we sold Punch or "Kool-Aid", there wouldn't be a need for cokes and water. BTW, does anyone know how I can get ahold of that Oscar fella? :D

Somehow, I don't think that will be one of the reasons. "Honey, we're not going to that mean ol' SMU game because their Cokes are $5." :roll:

Why don't we sell beer? Is it a Baptist thing at a Methodist University?

I believe it has been explained as both an HP/UP thing and an NCAA thing. I'm not sure which is the correct explanation.

On a side note, anybody need a patent attorney?

"Why don't we sell beer? Is it a Baptist thing at a Methodist University?"

I doubt it since 99% of all college football games don't allow beer sold inside the stadium

I think only a tiny fraction allow beer sales at games like Tulane, Univ Southern Florida, UNLV, maybe Temple and some other schools that play in NFL stadiums. Most don't allow beer sold in the stadium.

Doesn't the University of Houston allow beer sales at Robertson Stadium, too?

We know beer sales aren't going to happen......

Why not designate the stadium BYOB? Think of the concession sales on mixers!

UH allows beer sales at Robertson and used to sell it at the Dome.

Insurance is higher but the revenues more than offset that.

So, Tulane is the only known private school to allow beer sales and only USF in the BCS category. Like the lottery, it's a money maker but not without issues.

They also sell hard liquor at Tulane games.

I wonder how much "Kool Aid" Jello Shots would go for? They would be so good, you'd only need one. :lol:
