re: Beer sales in Sanford Stadium incoming

The food lines are long all game until they run out. Switching to credit only and more kiosks has helped.

The need to bring in self refills and better water stations.

The crowd mix won’t change. The overall demographic of the crowd is substantially more suburban family than past. You used to never see kids at night games. I haven’t had a drunk fan issue in over 10 years despite rarely missing a game.

I believe this move will actually cut down on the overserved. When people konw that they cannot buy alcohol inside, htey 1)chug the shite out of as much as they can prior to entering the game, and 2)often times will sneak in liquor as well. Nobody is sneaking a beer in a ziploc baggie, it's hard liquor.

By knowing you can buy a beer or two inside, a large number of people are going ot avoid getting blackout at the tailgate, IMO.

Yay for the money but honestly don’t think it improves game experience at all. The crowd has gone more family based the last 10-12 years. The 2 drink limit is good.

Hell, they still haven’t figured concessions out without alcohol. 90% of the concession workers are kids.

I agree, the games have become more family based. Lot of my buddies from school enjoy taking their kids to the games. I would rather they focus more on making concession lines faster. I spent an entire quarter in line during the Missouri game in 2021.
