So $250,000 buys you the privilege of paying too much for a beer at Sanford....

    I don't see this changing much for the college kids, not many college kids can afford $10 beer, so they'll still be sneaking it in per usual. Maybe they'll have one or two pricey beer, but most won't be able to down them like it's $1 beer night.

    Anybody born after the 1800s jump in please. I'm a child of the Napoleonic era...welllll, it seems that way sometimes. My question is, do college students use camelback backpack water bladders to smuggle adult beverages into Sanford ? If they don't I worry about their creative iniciative. It's a good idea if I do say so myself. I mean good in a wild heathen sort of way.

    Come on Teddy. CFB brings in massive amounts of cash without donors. UGA could afford everything players need AND pay them for their labor and still turn a profit.

    Whatever makes you feel better about telling people where to spend their money. And not knowing who has/hasn’t donated to the educational side as well. And assuming most of them have big egos... that’s a lot of assuming

    Living in Denver, I get to pop around to the wild west of alcohol policy stadiums. The University of Colorado has an interesting approach, they have a designated drinking area where you can't see the field. There are tvs, but no one pays stadium prices to watch a game on tv....unless you're at Coors Field. So unless you're planning on missing the game, the lines and prices prevent even the diehard chuggers from getting unreasonably drunk. Plus the security and staff in the drinking area keep watch to make sure no one is unruly in the area. Beer garden/drinking areas might not be a permanent solution, but could be used as a transition approach for the bigger stadiums.

    Nomad. If you've never been in Mile High in the second half of a big game you've missed The Bloods, Crips, Brown Shirts, Anarchist and Evangelicals all rolled into an inebriated mass of ill tempered humanity.

    I moved out here in 2015 and prices were through the roof (they ended up winning the Super Bowl), but I've never been a huge NFL fan and couldn't justify throwing that kind of money at a team I didn't care about. I've been to a preseason game and was impressed at how much they cared (had people around me yelling when I was 10 minutes late to the game). However, I have enjoyed the front range college teams since I moved out here. Been to Air Force vs Navy, two blizzard games (Wyoming vs CSU 2017 and CSU vs Utah St 2018), and CU vs Wash St 2016. I've been impressed with the relaxed atmosphere, everyone cares about the game, but not to the point of getting in fights over it. Having lived in SEC, ACC, Pac12, and Big10 areas (and gone to a number of games across different campuses), I've seen a pretty wide range. Can't beat the SEC for diehard fans, but with the good you get a lot of bad as well. It will definitely be interesting, to say the least, to see how alcohol policy rollout at places like LSU will play out.

    Nomad. I lived on The Western Slope in the late 90s and into 2001. I lived a few miles from The Air Force Academy from 2011 through 2013. I regret I never caught a Falcons game, the Air Force Falcons that is.
