[QUOTE="illinipioneer, post: 1216484, member: 10540"] I think you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. I remember reading an article about a year ago about whether you should allow alcohol sales in the stadium. It laid out two perspectives: 1. If you don't allow alcohol sales then people will consume much more vigorously, thus walking into the stadium, getting sick and/or being unruly. or 2. If you allow alcohol sales inside the stadium then people will not feel rushed to get "topped off" just before entering the stadium. This was said to work quite well, usually ending beer sales by the start of the 4th qtr or something similar so everyone can sober up. Like I said this was from an article and not necessarily my opinion, I honestly agree more with premise #2 just for the fact that it deters most folks from binge drinking just before kickoff.
