Oh how I wish this was the case when I was still going there. I can't imagine this would do anything but raise money and keep people (upper class men anyway) around for the 3rd and 4th quarter. I remember many games when we dipped out in the 4th because everyone was stone sober by then and wanted to head to the bars.

Some of it comes with a passionate fan base, especially the inappropriate language part.

Probably a bunch....especially if they charge like they do at the state fair or ball games...$7-$9 a beer.

I detest the NFL experience, and I don't want it in Athens. If an OU football game turns into an NFL experience then there are some insane changes that need to take place and beer is not even in the Top 5 of that list.

That was in the last paragraph of the release.

Can't wait to say I told you so in a month.

That was in the last paragraph of the release. This is actually going to be unpopular with a lot of long time ticket holders I know. Seems like a solution in search of a problem. Oh well. Alan -- no, this wouldn't make me change my Tower seats, which I had pre-beer sales. I'll keep them as long as I can afford to. The separate entrance/exit, quick access to concessions and bathrooms, and relief from cold/rain (Especially on Tuesday/Wednesday nights) are the main draw. (Of course, I'm crazy as I also have 4 other seats elsewhere... So I may not be a good judge of this....) Last Edited: 8/14/2017 5:04:44 PM by Ohio69 Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

If really want to go out and back in - plenty of cheapo tics to be had - or unused, etc. Add fodder to the "butts in the seats" jibber jabber though....

Alcohol has been "coming to Peden" for decades! They are just going to get some of the $ from the sales of it now....

Hopefully they are appropriately priced, bring in more fans, and keep them in the stadium for longer. Additional revenue is good as well. & LOL at the comment that said alcohol has been coming to Peden for decades. So true - I brought a flask with me to every game I attended. What a day at the Convo.....Wow!
