You'll get no arguments from me. I agree 100%. I believe the problem is the volunteer system for the concession stands. Every concession stand is staffed by a group who gets a piece of the profits for the stand. Lots of groups use this as a fundraiser. The problem is some of them aren't cut out for the job (can't do math) and whatever training they receive isn't enough. It's become a pretty big nuisance at the games, and I don't know if it is being addressed or not.

RE: Marshall exploring beer sales at Edwards Stadium
I really don't understand why MT doesn't do this. It's great revenue and, let's face it, we all could use extra revenue. Plus, everyone who has a box, including McPhee, has tons of alcohol in them. People sneak alcohol in every game. Not just 1 or 2 people, more like entire sections. Just go ahead and sell it and make the money.

Pretty sure we didn't have the option under the Tennessee board of reagents, that may change with the restructuring.

RE: Marshall exploring beer sales at Edwards Stadium
I don't think there'd necessarily be an increase in people "getting hammered". The people who would be drinking in the game would be getting lit in the parking lots before the game anyway.

I have heard it suggested that it actually decreases the amount of people getting out of control. People often get hammered during tailgating so their buzz won't wear off before the game is over. Being able to buy beer in the stadium allows for maintaining the desired buzz rather than having to drink in excess before.

Hey Green Steve, shouldn't you title be "Expand the beer sales" since beer is available for the "chair back seats" area?

This makes a lot of cents.

would it matter either way if viewing morality vs cents?
or is a dry county the way to continue?

RE: Marshall exploring beer sales at Edwards Stadium
I don't know if alcohol has anything to do with it, but Marshall fans are rowdy enough by game time. My concern, if the rowdiest of fans are the drinkers, drinking the entire game might make from some mean drunks in games we lose. Good for revenue, how mean the drunks get will determine if it enhances game day experience. Maybe they should issue 4 beer coupons per game ticket to keep some from downing the equivalent of a 12 pack during the game.
