You realize they aren’t selling glass beer bottles right? It will be solo style cups. Youre more likely to get smacked by a 20oz Coke bottle than an alcoholic beverage bottle.
Also, the crazy drunks people are worried about sneak booze in already. You got to be pretty blind to have never noticed the flasks everywhere.
Raiderbeater. Have you ever been to a late afternoon or night NFL game ? Drinking at Sanford is nothing compared to what I've witnessed at Falcons and Broncos games. Mile High is drunken **** central late in games. I'd hate to see our home games turn into something like that.
Sure some have egos, and some don't. Just like everyone else that isn't a millionaire donor.
Like LSU? I’ve been to Falcons games a-plenty and it’s nothing compared to what I’ve seen at college games. It’s the exact opposite in my opinion and I attend a lot of both pro and Dawgs games.
You could let a baby sleep at most Atl games.
I think they should open it up to one everyone but monitor the amount you can buy. Maybe 2-3 beers.
If UGA Athletics made an app that fans can download and verify they’re age and all of that it could be be a win win for them. Pushing out constant content and more fan engagement while keeping beer sales down.
Heck might even charge a few bucks for behind the scenes content
An infamous event. I know of the guy who threw it, assuming it was the same handle of bourbon. A member of my fraternity.
That’s because the Falcons themselves are asleep for large portions of their own games.
Teddy. I think the average big donor has a huge ego. That seems especially true for those who donate to sports, as opposed to those who give to the educational sectors of the school.
JoeClark. I don't see limiting sales as workable except to stop selling at halftime. How would you determine how many beers any particular person has bought ?
You "think" being the keyword there, as you sure are painting with a very broad brush on donors. How do you know they're not giving to both? And why does donating just to sports make them self-centered? Just because you "think" they should spend it a certain way doesn't make you right.
Can I be a fan of both, without the guilt part of course? 😉
Teddy. So you don't see sports as being a self interest vs education for others ? If that's your perspective I'll leave it at that.
Providing better equipment/facilities, training, support staff (which includes educational purposes), S&C, treatment, etc. to players (many who come from not so great backgrounds) isn't doing some good for these kids?
Also, I try not to get into the business of telling people how to spend their money (takes someone with a big ego to do that), as it isn't mine. Also, still haven't seen the percentage of big time donors that do not also donate to education... I'll wait.
Didn’t suggest bottles would be sold. My point was only that behaviors are bad enough as it is because of the drinking at tailgates and flasks. Not everyone isn’t sipping one cocktail and stopping. More alcohol will turn our crowd in to an NFL crowd which isn’t as family friendly. Look, as college student at UGA, my dates were great dates and taped the baggies with bourbon to their thighs. I know drinking happens anyway. I’m just saying let’s see how it goes at the other schools first before we jump in the deep end.
