This thread has been somewhat interesting to follow. Here's my take on beer at college football games, or for that matter any college sporting event. I don't think any alcohol should be provided in the eveent center. Seems to me tailgates are fine and really are just private parties where everyone can decide what they want to eat or drink. College athletics is an amateur event and fans shouldn't need beer sales inside the stadium to have a good time.
Really you shouldn't need to use beer sales as a means for fund raising or a means to get fans in the seats. If the stadium can't be filled with the product on the field, then the product on the field needs improved.
Let the flaming begin!
Edit: FYI, I can drink beer with the best of them.

Troll, you obviously equate bud light lime with "beer." and drinking 4 of those without puking due to the sugar isn't drinking with the best of them.

I usually get hammered before games and then sneak alcohol into Folsom. Selling beer would just make my life more convenient. Which I'm all for. I'm drinking in the stadium either way, so CU might as well have alcohol sales and make a few bucks off me.
This is exactly why I have Gasm on ignore
So people can quote him and you read his post anyway?
Just so everyone knows, Dr. Tom led the charge to ban alcohol from all stadiums in the Big 12. Since every Nub is convinced that Osborn walks on water and that if they live a good life they'll get to visit his house after they die, they are morally obligated to wholeheartedly agree with every position that asshole takes.
So what's the point of getting hammered for the game?
It's fun. You're a square.
Not even close! Still don't get why there needs to be alcohol at college football games? Dr. Tom is too tight when it comes to drinking alcohol. That's his opinion and many Nebraska fans (if not most) don't agree with his strict alcohol stance, excepting for beer sales at the games. I would say most fans Nebraska fans (but not all) don't think it should be part of the college game. Before games and after games, in the bars or at tailgates is a different story. The more libations the better.
The question should be. "why the hell not?".
I don't understand why it doesn't belong with college or amateur athletics. Why? The players are the same age as the folks we're sending to fight in Afghanistan to preserve our right to drink overpriced, watered down beers at sporting events.
Your reasons for not wanting it is because fans shouldn't need it and teams shouldn't need it for revenue. That basically means you specifically don't want to drink inside the stadium so you think no one else should have that option and that since Nebraska doesn't need it for revenue that other schools shouldn't have that option. You're being a controlling **** who obviously doesn't care for free will in people's decisions.

It makes it easier to listen to every Nebraska fan tell me how they're the classiest fan base in college football. Or how CSU is just as good as CU in ________ .
A quick public service announcement here for right leaning individuals -
While I am full support of the repeal of Folsom Stadium prohibition and signed the petition - just remember the site - www.change.org. Think about it for a minute, sound familiar?
It's great to support the petition, but it does ask for your email address, therefore you end up receiving "alerts" like the one I got today for the Boy Scouts to repeal the "ban" on gay membership. Just a warning of spam you will receive from this site.
It looks like you can sign the petition, but be sure to immediately remove your email from the distro if you don't want your email filled up with a bunch of crazy ****.

Nik,
I tried to give you some rep, but couldn't. Anyone who puts Dr Tom and asshole in the same sentence gets :thumbsup: from me. Well played, sir.
Buff Surveyor, I'm going to type this really slow so that you can follow along:
When other schools have brought alcohol sales back into the stadiums, alcohol related security events and arrests have GONE DOWN. (And, yes, just in case you're rubbing those two brain cells together: this excludes the "sneaking alcohol into the game" security events - it's the real ones: public drunkeness, open container, minor-in-possession, etc)
And yes, just so everyone knows, I am going to repeat that every time anyone makes an argument against bringing beer sales back until it finally sinks in.

Agree with your thinking. Reduces the amount of "I can't buy any inside so I might as well get hammered ahead of time to carry me" mentality. Also greatly reduce the amount of alcohol that is carried in, usually in concentrated form instead of beer. Once in at the price of stadium beer nobody is going to buy enough to get really hammered. Also the beer sold is most likely going to be 3.2 and will fill someup up before they get more than tipsy.
I understand the thought process behind the ban but in this situation selling beer would likely reduce drunkeness.

Beer was served during the CU game at Hawaii. A vendor delivered beer to your seats.
The cans weren't twelve ounces, maybe 10 ounces. Price was $5 each. It was unlikely anyone would get ripped buying beers in aloha stadium.
Aloha stadium was full of families with kids. College football is a big family affair on the islands.
The U of Hawaii model worked out fine.

I got so many beers. It was awesome.
I don't recall having beer inside Aloha Stadium, but it stands to reason.
Bottom line for me is that the stated reason for the ban in the first place was to cut down on drunkenness. The ban has not accomplished that goal. In fact, it has done the opposite. I should also like to point out that this was predicted at the time of the ban, the administration knew that there was a chance this would not work, and they proceeded with the ban anyway.

This...most of that was predicated by how god awful we started that game after all the "Beat the Streak" hype....those beers were not only quite awesome but a necessity that day!

now way that would ever happen. like a tuition decrease...realm of possibility.
A) Sell beer at the game. Why? 'Cause when they did, CU was better. Cause and effect.
2) prohibit entry after the end of the first quarter. Why? Because CU looks stupid on TV when they show a gorgeous stadium and background and NO ONE is in the stands.
d) don't allow re-entrance. Why? If everyone is in the stadium when the game starts, they're buying the ridiculously priced beer and therefore not getting totally housed and can't leave to get wasted at half time and come back - it will cut down on the issues caused by alcohol (fights, inappropriate behavior, etc).
CU could actually look like a team with fans who give a crap.
