# 1 UNC goes down

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......

No I don't think Kool aid is his problem. Sounds like it might be beer if he can't remember what he paid for them.

Speaking of beer sales, I explained this to you previously, but maybe this time you will read and comprehend it. Louisville doesn't make as much as you think off of the beer sales. They allow charities and booster clubs to work and make money for their various programs. For example, our high school football booster work a booth at each home game to make money to pay for different things for the boys.

Mills as a long time season ticket holder I can tell you that beers are $6.00

That is part of a night out and if you don't think so just go to any MLB, NFL, out to dinner at a restaurant anything of that nature and you pay more or about the same.

Nothing else you say is worth arguing about to me so I'll leave it at that for now.

$8, $6, $3 , $1, Personally, there should not be any alcohol sales at any college sporting event no matter if it is on campus or off campus arenas. I fully understand Beer sales helps the bottom line, but when is it going to be about the sport and not the dollar? This is the problem with College sports today. Perfect example, Southern Miss beat Houston this weekend, knocking Houston out of the BCS bowl. The first question to winning coach for Southern Miss was about how he felt in costing his conference $13 Million dollar Bowl Bid? If the college sport makes $1 profit then that is enough. Until then Student Athletes will be Athlete Students

I agree that the money has gotten far out of control, please explain why they shouldn't allow beer specifically? You are singling one item out, why not do away with concessions altogether?

College is supposed to be a place of higher learning. Jr and Sr kids in college could be over the age of 21 sitting in the student section with Beers in there hands rooting for their team is not the image that I think Universities want. Plus, the chance of legal aged students buying beer for underaged students, which is an issue everywhere. Add in the power drinking fans that show up drunk and continue the drinking thru the event. Families that take their kids to a college game and you get put sitting by the guys making Beers runs every half hour. Just my opinion

College is about having fun now just education. If underaged students want to drink they will find a way - most bring a flask to avoid paying for beer at the game anyway. I'll tell you what I do; go to the game early and find a place close to the arena that's having beer specials, have a few and a couple whiskys before I walk over, then just have a beer or two at the game. Getting rid of alcoholic sales would not prevent me in any way from being drunk at the game, its part of the fun. The security at the games will also remove people who are billigerent or otherwise disruptive to others enjoying the game.

You make valid points, but students are usually tanked by kicoff anyway and at basketball they are pretty well lit as well. Lack of beer sales wouldn't accomplish much of anything among fans anyway. If you go to Commonwealth Stadium, where there is no beer sales, you will just watch everyone take a nip from their bottles they snuck in.

Exactly what we did at the tennessee game.once we found the girls with the biggest uhhh "lungs" that could hide a flask we went in. Of course I tested each one for appearance, fit and form then we were off to the game and I was sooo happy. :-)

Yep. a pretzel is $4.00. I need to drop a few so they should stop selling junk food. Because college should teach you about responsible eating for later in life.

Srry, but I don't like the idea of putting the sale of beer so close to the kids at the games. I know they are gonna sneak stuff in and some get caught, some don't. But why try and supply the stuff ?

I agree with netboy, beer has no place at a College sporting event, kids are underage...So if it's ok for beer sales at a College event where you have underage kids..Then it should be fine for beer sales at High School events since they have underage kids there as well.....? Looks like that could be a message you that want beer at these events.

So a car full of Louisville College Kids leave the Yum Center, lose control and have a wreck. All 4 kids are DOA and it is determined all of them had blood levels above the legal limit. It is also determined that eyewitness accounts of these 4 purchased numerous Beers at the Yum Center during the basketball game. Hypothetical Situation: Now where do you stand on the topic?

Where do I stand? I stand in the same place I would if four grown men left a bar under the same circumstances, they are grown people that are responsible for their choices!
