BEER IN THE STADIUM

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?
Who actually regulates this? I would like to see a proactive campaign for the sake of attendance to have this changed.
If the suites can have beer so should the entire stadium and if they are worried about families and alcohol (b/c adults never drink in front of their kids) then designate a non-drinking family area.

We have a board member, an alumn and prominent donor that is against this. President Turner complies

Good luck with that rationale.

Us serfs in the stands can't be trusted to think for ourselves.

Better whiskey and vodka smuggled in with plastic flasks or in lady purses than beer in the stands!

Oh, my mistake. I thought we were talking about actually adding something new to the game experience and not about an age old tradition.

Beer in the stadium would be nice. But it will have negligible impact on attendance.

No. She sits in Section 104, behind some well know PF threaders, and yells " down in front". Aka, the sit down lady.

I'd vote against it. Yes, I don't drink alcohol. What bothers me is the alcoholics and drunks at the game. At the Texas State game a few years ago someone threw a full Gatorade bottle and some other stuff. It caused a stir but the woman cop did not eject anyone. I would have kicked them all out.
I remember a drunk girl behind the band at a game who could not stand up straight. She could only sway and was yelling crap to the visiting team telling the QBs how inaccurate they were passing the ball on the sideline. The drunk dumb dog doesn't know when those passing the ball to each other are WRs and not QBs. She was one of many I've seen through the years that should not have even been there. She needed to be ticketed etc. She was getting too close to where I was and I would have knocked her out if she got close to any of my friends and family. The security doesn't get rid of these people to the point that I can tell. And these girls shouldn't wonder why they often become victims of other crimes when they can't function properly.
I've also seen plenty of people sitting with heads bowed because they are too sick from drink. They should have never even entered the stadium in that condition.
And I've seen too much vomit, some of which has gotten on other fans. It can take an entire hour for the vomit to be cleaned up because no one wants to do it. People pay for their seats and someone else vomits on it. Ridiculous.
There is also a problem when I buy many seats and some large person tries to take it. I had to tell a couple last year to move out of my seats. They were 2 but they needed to buy 4 seats for the space they needed. They only were there for the 2nd and 3rd Qs anyway. Some more of those come late and leave early alums.
I got years of stories.
But if y'all want beer go for it. See what happens from it.

So, how would you feel about a Section 420 at The Ford ?

Could we have the Readers Digest version? This is a bunch of crap. (or at least the first 2 sentences were)
