BEER IN THE STADIUM

[SMU2007]

And these girls shouldn't wonder why they often become victims of other crimes when they can't function properly.

Stay classy, Alyssa.

Great idea to get micro-brews and local businesses involved. Serving beer (of course combining with winning is a must) would definitely bring in some of the young adults who go straight from the Boulevard to Milo's, etc.

Advertising this new micro-brew theme could also attract Dallasites to the stadium that have no ties to SMU.
Whether you care about SMU or not having a few good micro-brew beers at a football game on a sunny fall day is a pretty attractive way to spend a Saturday. Unless you are Alyssa (Baylor troll) of course.

Selling beer in our stadium was one of the greatest decisions we have ever made. So I don't know what you guys are waiting for.

So how do they get away with selling beer at a high school?

Apparently we're either a bunch of prudes or completely willing to close our eyes to innovative ways to improve the gameday experience and connect w/ a vibrant, local business community. Take your pick.

Not gonna happen, sir. Move along.

Waste of an opportunity...be Dallas' team...bring in the exploding Dallas/Texas craft brew scene...7 local beers on tap, throw in Shiner & MillerCoors...get involved in the community w/ small business...a damn SMU alum runs Lakewood. Just another example of having our heads up our asses. Campuses all over the country do it, some ever brew their own, and their cities haven't gone up in flames...if HP/UP complains, tell them to sod off and then ask for a thank you note for 90+ years of increasing property values...

Excellent post. Go to any of the packed brewery tours around town. What do you see? Males in 20s and 30s. THE sports demographic.

Can you imagine sucking down a Franconia Dunkle during a chilly fall game? Ahhhhhh

Greatness. Love the local/craft angle. Sell beer and you'd probably get a lot of drinkers coming into the game before they got sloshed (I cast stones now but used to be one of the drunks myself).

Just received the email about the upgrades to Ford. Some of the seating is now going to be indoor/outdoor. Wonder what the beer policy will be for these suites that allow indoor and outdoor access...

In which case, getting outdrawn, outrecruited and manhandled in various sports (twice in Men's basketball) by a high school, speaks volumes about the athletics program and culture at SMU.

Alyssa,

I offer my congratulations. You are easily the stupidest [deleted] I've encountered on this website in its entire existence. And trust me...you've had some strong competition. With your bright and sunny demeanor, I wont be surprised to see you end up in a 7 car pile-up on Central Expressway with all those alcoholics and fat people. I sincerely hope the fattest drunk ends up on top.of you.

And vomits.

You have to admire her dedication to a ridiculous board character gimmick

I know this topic has been much discussed and people have strong feelings one way or another, but I honestly believe if you want more people to come, show up on time and stay all the way through the game we have to have beer sales in thr stadium?

Fixing the on-field product and playing relevant opponents is the only way to accomplish any of those things. Selling beer at Ford isn't going to make any more fans want to suffer through boring football.
