Yes it is 8.00 a beer at the YUM, got a B-I-L that went to a game there and that is how much he paid for a beer....

[QUOTE=Chubminnow;474067]Dag gone Mills...I never comment on these sports threads much, but seriously, you think alcohol is one of the reasons that U of L has such good attendance???? Man I know you can't be serious about this...seriously, that's what you think??? Now if beer was $2.00 per 16 ounces of draft or $1.50 dollar longnecks during one of the two halves, then yea I'd agree with you. But at $8.00 dollars per beer I GAURANTEE you there ain't no one rushing to the Yum Center for the beer. Maybe to ogle the lady birds yes, but not for $8.00 beers....heck man, there's enough happy hour deals all around the Yum center now days, everyone loads up before the game and gets one to go to drink on the walk over to the arena.
In fact....I doubt very seriously if anyone TRULY interested in a sporting event of any kind makes their decision on attending a game or event based on whether or not alcohol is sold.
You ever heard of a flask?[/QUOTE]
Again someone else is trying to put words into my mouth......I never said a word about the reason fans attend U of L games was due to the beer.....
I said that the beer sales at 8.00 a beer adds up over the course of the season..Which does impact the Money the Basketball team takes in for the beer sales.
I did say..Chicken Arena has more seats and Chicken Areana sells beer to it's fans.....

They are pretty good at twisting things around.
[QUOTE=redneckshadrap;474069]Old news...they've been kickin around the remodeling of Rupp for yrs...Not just for basketball purposes....The rumor at one time was to built an on campus basketball arena, but not sure where that went.[/QUOTE]
The on campus arena was 96/97. They even had the proposed site picked out on the corner of Rose St and Ave of Champions. It was across the street from Memorial.

Mills I have season tickets... They are 6$ for a 16oz draft buddy.

Ok $6 bucks a beer equals a lot of money to the school, do you disagree or not?
[QUOTE=MsgMills;474021]No Tim again I said that U of L has more seats available for it's games and the sales of alcohol is [U]the 2 major reasons why U of L has more attendence[/U] and overall sales.[/QUOTE]
Ain't putting words in your mouth pal...the proof is in the writing, maybe what you wrote and what you meant are two different things?
And now you are twisting it too Chubs. Look where your underscore stops. I beleive what he was saying is that more seats equals more attendance and money, whereas alcohol sales contribute to the revenue. Most of you guys take this all way too seriously, but that is exactly what makes it entertaining to check the off-topic section when we are slow at work. Btw, I am a Wildcat fan that also cheers for most of the teams within the state and a few a little further north, as long as they aren't playing UK. I have been to the Yum for a concert and for a Louisville game. Overall I like the arena, but some of the seats are a little close, it gets a little steep up top, and beer prices stink like they do at most sport events.

Yes indeed stop the underscore too early there my friend, cause the entire sentence goes a little further than where you stopped.....

Srry he's a U of L fan and I believed him when he told me how much he paid for the beer...So I guess since he's loose as you say. Then I'll put him in the group with you, BPL and Mhall...you've all had too much Red Kool aid...Hows that......
