LSU wants to sell alcohol everywhere in Tiger Stadium, but other SEC schools are getting in the way

[mcnabb7542]

From my experience, southerners don't handle their booze too well.

Aw so they end up screwing their farm animals or other family members,
it's their choice!

Hell I say let them drink, ease the pain of Bama beating the shit out of them year in and year out!

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

The question is why not???

The IQ of the average SEC fan will not be affected by booze anyway.

Nor will it affect some slapnut pussyhat wearing douche like yourself.

Arrogant assholes like you are what makes this world stupid.

What did his hat do to anyone? It's an innocent victim.

 

[bamabear82]

They can start selling it as soon as their scrub asses finally beat Bama again. Dream big.

 

[Wild Turkey]

Love that all the drunk SEC fan videos being posted are of Bama.

Cajuns can freaking drink and you can ask the restaraunts near stadium venues for their away games. The bar tabs go way up and blow all other fan bases out of the water. LSU would be printing money if they could sell in the stadium.

Agree,

Most fun I ever had with a visiting fan base when they came to Morgantown (where beer is sold in stadium BTW) and the local business owners loved em too.....

I think they run the risk of eliminating the "family atmosphere."

Now, granted the language can get pretty bad, but you can bring children to a college
game, you really can't bring them to a pro game. Pro games can get very rough, and there
are very few visitors at pro games and it still gets bad.

Most of the folks smuggle in their liquor at college games or are already tanked when they
arrive from tailgating. But for fans to get it the entire game, you could be asking for a lot
of problems, that don't currently exist.

At FSU, there has been a Bar at the top of the North endzone for years. (The Varsity Club runs
it). A couple of years ago, they lowered our capacity from 82,300 down to 79,600 when they
redid the south endzone and made the entire place a bar. Since then we have not had a sellout
and that includes the Florida Game. The first time that the Florida game has never sold out at FSU.
Nobody is gonna pay for those higher priced seats in a fucking endzone just to be able to get a drink
that is overly priced.

If you want to make money make a deal with the city to get half of the DUI fine and just give every
car leaving the parking lots a breath test. Hell, everybody could retire with the money you could get
on that.

If this gets its head, this could have a severe impact on attendance, if the drunks take over the ballpark.
I've never been a prude but I don't drink. I go to a game to watch the game not to party. Most folks
around me had been drinking but they had their wits to them.

I took my daughters to a Bengal game when I lived in Kentucky and I damn near got into it with some
drunks. Now I was quite bigger so there were no blows, but it was close. I've been to one pro game since
and that was a Bucs game, where drinking is required so that you can make it thru an entire game.

I won't go to a Pro game.

The need to really think twice on this

well, yes, in general, pro games can become ridiculous with the chest-thumping drunks, but bengals fans are extra-special in that regard.

 

[olympicoscar]

Alcohol, football, Louisiana, NO.

 

[7Samurai13]

First no guns allowed in stadiums, now no booze?

SEC becoming the no fun league.

You make some valid points, but I think college fans are a higher class than NFL fans. I take my 5yr old to every UT game, and they sell alcohol. No problems, as long as you don't sit in the student section. I go to a few Dallas cowboys games a year, I would never take my son to a game.

 

[batchaps4me]

True dat.

In all fairness, they may be drunk but the alcohol has less to do with it than their personalities.

It's probably got something to do with how most college students are under the age of 21. Universities might not want to advertise that there is so much alcohol flowing on campus or at sanctioned school events like football games.

Might be considered hypocritical, but this is the NCAA we're talking about

You forfeited the privilege of rational posts a long time ago, hu.

I meant to say, "the world needs less drunken hicks, not more"

I agree with everything you've posted. Especially the "higher class" part for college fans.
Just look at how they dress. 90% with their polo shirts with Texas or Florida State on them
and maybe 10% in a jersey. The Pro games it's 10% with polo and 90% in a jersey.

My remarks are based on what it could become. Maybe not right away, but it's possible.
Now the Boosters will/can play a big part in that as the school will always listen to their
money folks. That doesn't exist in the NFL.

I know from experience that there is a rivalry basis in college football that can lead to
fights. BUT, it does get a bit limited. Clemson-FSU are rivals for obvious reasons but
there has never been fill scale war. Not like at UF. But even UF isn't as bad as a pro game.

South Carolina fans and Nebraska fans were always enjoyable to be around. Tech fans aren't
bad. VPI folks are decent and there is a bit of a rivalry there, but UVA fans and especially
Maryland fans are horrible. (That's because the bulk are Redskin fans) Maryland moreso than
UVA.

College football is different and better. It's a great form of entertainment, in every regard. It would be a mistake
to let it mimic the NFL.

Traveling Tennessee fans are legion, courteous, affable, generous, and so easily parted from our money that chambers of commerce celebrate the scheduling of our sports teams in their burgs' venues. Most fans of our opponents appreciate us as well. I could fill up this threads with testaments and still have more to relate.
