Iowa to expand beer and wine sales at all athletic venues
- Thread starter WeNeedMorePower
- Start date
Just IMPO college football has some of the greatest fans and atmosphere. I just think allowing alcohol will bring that down. A bunch of now drunk and rowdy persons will make the experience and atmosphere suck. Im basing this on how the NFL stadiums and their drunk fans act its a crap show for sure.
And what's wrong with that? "Everybody" is legalizing gambling, MJ, alcohol in stadiums, ... And it's leading to a more decadent society. Nothing wrong with "puritanical" rules.
There are enough drunks at games the way it is. We don't need to encourage it.
please move this to the main board, we play Iowa every year. This is germane to NU football.
May want to merge as I see there is now a thread on the main forum.
Other than your wrong that it leads to more drunks as it actually leads to fewer sure, I think we should all have puritan values forced on us.
I personally don't think it would change things much if it was sold at NU. PBA already sell at all events except NU events. Drinking and tailgating is already everywhere outside Memorial. There will always be some belligerent fans inside, and I don't think the number will change much with expanded sales.
To me, it’s kind of like the legalized marijuana thingy.
And I am a pretty conservative guy. Never used drugs of any sort in my life.
It’s going to exist no matter what. Seems a social norm. So authorities might as well make “legal” money off of it.
They do probably need to beef up security if they try this…at least initially to see how it all pans out.
But hey, just a good opportunity for some overworked and over stressed police officers to earn a little “safe“ extra money for the family and see a Husker game on the cheap.
After all the crap that has gone on…they could use a break.

Have you ever seen the amount of empty shooter and pint liquor bottles in a stall at Memorial Stadium on game day? My then 5 year old son walked out of a stall and had 2 in each hand and said “Hey Dad, someone left these here”

Yep, the only thing selling beer does that's different than now is bringing money to the university instead people sneaking it in or getting loaded in the parking lot before and half time.
