PSU to expand beer sales in Beaver Stadium

[Richie O]

PSU Board of Trustees approved the sale of alcohol at Beaver Stadium during its meeting on Friday.

It’s currently unclear when the sale of alcohol will begin.

This is, IMHO, a horrible idea. PSU games will turn into Steelers and Browns and Eagles games.

BJC or Pegula maybe.

Yeah, because no one is drunk in the stadium now.

well, at least, by the time the end of the game roles around, they have had about 3 hours to sober up a bit.

It actually improved the situation. Less binge drinking to get fix in before the game. Both minny and WVU noticed this.

That's really gong to put a dent in the sales of tube socks in Central PA.

I am not buying that.I can’t see any way that is true

 

[PSUinSTL]

People tend to drink less. Before going into game people think I need to ‘lube’ up and drink more to keep buzz. If they can buy in stadium it is a more stable pace. So don’t have major binge going.

Not buying it. I don’t think somebody drinking heavily has the capacity to plan. If they do, it is the minority and not majority

Their big plan will have to be to take out a second mortgage prior to the game to be able to afford to buy beer in the stadium. Most people don’t go crazy drinking in the stadium because it’s so ridiculously expensive (at least that’s what I’ve seen).

Maybe. I’ve been to stadiums that sell beer and ones that don’t. There is a palpable difference in fan behavior.

I have too and whether they sell it during the game or not, you always have people that over do it. I’ve also seen that at concerts. I’m not sure why people that pay to go to an event use it just to drink copious amounts of alcohol….stay home and do that and save the money. Doesn’t make sense to me.
