Beer at the swamp...Looks like we win!

[ULtimateCajun]

Anybody know pricing? Is going to be like the Cajundome $8 beer? Or Tigue $5? I'll pay whatever the cost, I just want to know how much I need to get out of the ATM before entering. haha

_ I finally realized how bad a shape our program was in when someone on Friday was telling me how this "will help us put people in the stands." When the only way to get a good crowd is to have beer... well... things are worse than I thought.

Oh... and don't compare basketball or baseball crowds to football crowds. They are just not the same. _

I think this is false. What I think beer will do is keep people at the game longer and get us more revenue. Over the past 15 years we have mostly served up horrible football. In spite of this we still out draw most SCB and in-state teams. If we every get good at football we will have a packed stadium(30K) regardless of the beer situation.

ok, I thought this was a joke at first till I saw the wafb piece.. why would a baton rouge station have a story on this before any news whatsoever has been mentioned in lafayette?.. something aint right here.... I'll believe it when I taste it..LOL

I was told by a friend that a local BR station said that Southern would NOT be selling beer this year. One of the articles mentioned Southern would be selling beer as well, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I didn't see the news broadcast, did anyone else hear/see this?

VP for beer mentioned that the booths would be set up on the top of the endzone areas and ergo not interfere with the rest of the concession areas--Smart move to keep both lines moving---I told him he was the guy who brought "Suds to the Swamp"!!!!!!!

Any idea how many D1 schools sell beer now?

From what I'ver gathered, I believe UL, Tulane and Miami will be the only three schools serving alcohol in 2009 (with the exception of suite alcohol sales). Tulane and Miami both play in professional stadiums, so it sounds as if UL will be the only true college stadium to serve beer. Despite what one of the articles said, it doesn't appear as if Southern is ready to cross this bridge.

_ Does anyone know if this concessionaire firm will be handling all concessions from here on out and if Sodexho is gone, or if this is in addition to Sodexho?

I ask becasuse Sodexho's "employees" seemed more like volunteers, and while in some ways they were better than what we had before, their system still seemed a bit antiquated. And, I certainly wouldn't classify them as a "professional concessionaire firm." _
