WV selling beer @ football games

[tupelotim]

As you might have heard starting this year <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">West Virginia</span>
will be selling beer at their football games. And the great news is
they’ll be sellingAnheuser-Busch, MillerCoors and the Morgantown
Brewing Company brands at 51 <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">locations</span> located through out the stadium and it will only cost you $8 for20 ounce draft and $7 plastic bottle… not bad prices.</p>

But selling beer at a <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">college</span>
event doesn’t come without its downfalls… the school is instituting the
“High Five Rules of the Game”, which will restrict some of the fun fans
of the drinking age can have.</p>

Thus, all intoxicated fans will be left in some weird purgatory that does not exist in or out of the stadium.

I always thought that I was getting ripped off at FedEx Forum by paying $8.50 for a 20 oz draft, but are you saying it's worse at other places? If so, that is awful.

I know they sell beer at Syracuse and Cincinnati (both on campus) and I'm assuming they sell it at Pitt (NFL stadium). The WVa. fans I saw at the UC game a few years ago were grinning ear-to-ear and double fisting $6 Miller Lites on the way to their seats. They also sell beer at various places on campus during what passes for "tailgating" There's also a pub in the University Center (which also contains your Chic-fil-a, AlCo) about 20 feet away from the stadium. Of course, the Mountaineer faithful have more of a rep for hooliganism when compared to the typical is-it-hoops-season-yet BigEast fanbases, so this might not last a full season.

The City of Memphis' take on selling beer at University of Memphis home football games at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium?</p>

How about: "We'll drink to that?"</p>

The city released its beer sales figures today from Sunday's college
football game between Memphis and Ole Miss and said the $114,576 total
represented 40 percent of its full-season revenue goal. The Tigers have
five home football games remaining, but none is expected to attract the
45,207 announced for Sunday's game.</p>

Beer has been sold annually at the stadium for the AutoZone Liberty
Bowl and Southern Heritage Classic college football games, but is being
offered at U of M games for the first time since the Tigers began
playing at the stadium in the mid-1960s. No beer was sold after the
third quarter or in the student sections.</p>

The sale of beer met with some opposition initially, but city
officials considered it a viable source of revenue to maintain the
stadium, which underwent $5 million in renovations and upgrades earlier
this year.</p>

"These are new revenues which will help us recoup our expenses in improving the Liberty Bowl," Mayor Pro Tem Myron Lowery said.</p>
