Should Beer be sold at The Swamp?

_ I believe his "yes" reply was yes, we should sell it??? _

Correct

[BeauCajun]

_ At 7 bucks a pop how much money do you think we leave on the table every game?

My guess is $60,000 per game. That is being modest as well. That figure is onlu assuming 3000 people per game at 3 drinks per person. _

I agree. Give me a cold brew. Z, we may also have to expand our restrooms if we start serving cold ones.

mais....I almost answered your post...then I realized there was another....

"Is there not a NCAA rule that forbids any type of booze being sold at a game? If not then it is stupid not to do it at Cajun Field. It would help with attendance."

Yes _

Then Tulane and U-Hou football must be exempt and Cajun basketball must be exempt too.

_ Our attendance would rise by 25% overnight if this would be done. It was awesome drinking a beer watching Ark St. & S. Miss in the New Orleans Bowl a few years back. _

That is a pretty sad commentary on our program if selling beer is what we have to do to get attendance up.

I attend games with my kids and grandkids and, as it is, have to ask enough people to not curse around them. And, of course, those who are doing the cursing have slipped alcohol in.

How about we try to get attendance up 25% by WINNING?

Exactly. At UH in 2006, I don't remember exactly how much I spent, but with the rounds I bought, it was at least $50-70. As it is now, I go to a game at Cajun Field with my flask, and spend about $10 on two pepsi's for my JD.

(I voted yes.)

I am not trying to take up for people who curse or anything like that, but it is their right to say what they want to say. Now on the other hand they should repect the other people around them and be concious of their enviroment.

I tend to curse a lot due to working full time in the military but I am also always concious of who is around me and try not to do so while around kids.

We have tried winning for 100 years and it hasnt worked out so well for us, so I think it is time we look at other oppertunities. LIKE BEER! HOORAY BEER!

This is sad

How so?

There are a lot of people that bring alcohol into the game anyway so why not just make a profit off of it. It would also boost attendance as it has been previously discussed. I voted yes and have been hoping they start selling beer in the stadium for some time now!!

Why should a college football game be different than any other event. I drank a few dome foams when we beat Tulane. They do it every Sunday across the NFL. You could even limit the number of beers a person could have with some sort of punch card system.
