Look Out--WVU to sell beer at football games.

  • GoPens
    Approved today. I like the line where it's to "improve game-day operations and public safety". Good grief.

    Read somewhere that teams can produce about $900,000 in extra revenue by selling beer at home games...good for WVU

    Will be interesting to see the outcome. People are gonna drink regardless.

    If I lived down there, I'd start a couch accessories franchise.

    LOL This will be very very bad.

    I suppose Milwaukee's Best or Busch (or as they likely say, Boosh) Light will get the contract?

    Would this be the 1st On Campus venue for any sport to serve alcohol at events?

    I know Rupp Arena served alcohol last time I was down there, but that's OFF campus.

    This will NOT end well.

    UC sells Beer at Nippert Stadium.

    They already let people leave the stadium, drink, and come back. Selling in the stadium will result in very little change, I think.

    I did not know this. Just out of curiosity, is Nippert ON campus? I honestly don't know.

    I've only been to 5 Big Time College Stadiums (2 MAC, 2 B1G, 1 SEC). The only one I remember seeing people drink openly was UK Commonwealth Stadium, but that was pouring shit into a cup from a flask. The Big House, and Purdue's stadium don't/didn't have alcohol there, and neither did the Doyt or the Glass Bowl. All of these stadiums were on campus, and I always thought that was the deciding factor on selling alcohol or not. I very well could be wrong though.
