OT: Ohio State to sell beer in-stadium starting in 2016

[michnittlion]

I've never had a problem w/ Buckeye fans at Ohio Stadium, and I've been there a number of times ----- we'll see if this changes the fan dynamic there though. Cincinnati Bengals games, for instance, are awful to go to, in terms of fan behavior and in-stand fights.

We'll see how this goes.

Might as well. The difference between big time college and professional football is imperceptible now. Just not as fun as it once was.

This is going to wreak havoc on the black market booze sales at stadiums.

Another good reason to stay away from the stadium on game days....

I don't understand why people think this will turn the stands into a drunken brawl. It is like the 10 beers in the parking lot is acceptable but if you sell a guy a few 2-3 beers during the game he going to be obnoxious. The schools who have started selling it recently saw a decrease or no increase in problems. Was beaver stadium a jungle when you were allowed to leave at half time and return? I see people bringing in alcohol all the time so it not like prohibition is working inside the stadium.

I expect we'll see this at Beaver Stadium in time, and I have no issue with that.

I like a few ...several rock glasses neat two fingers of bourbon with my beer.
In fact my cocktail hour will start in about one hour when I arrive home.

I am not claiming to be an expert(well very from that on the topic) but there is so much info out there that basically says that in stadium sales will eliminate a lot of binge drinking in college stadiums. Chugging outside because you want to get your fill in before the game is a common thing.

Give people the option to drink inside and I guarantee they will treat their 10$ beer a little kinder than their 30 pack(Ok that part is just a personal observation).

It's about time. How can people be expected to survive without access to alcohol on a continuous basis ?

Just what an group of inebriated fans raised by wolves should have, more access to alcohol.
