Well, systemically continuing to turning a blind eye to a culture of rape doesn't seem to offend our so-called Christian principles, so I can't see why a little beer would.

It's 4 hours of your life 6 times a year. I don't see how anyone can miss drinking that much that they have to have it in those 4 hours. Let Baylor be what Baylor wants to be, and that's a dry campus. Same goes for tobacco on campus, too.
Probably not just an alcohol thing...would probably have the same attitude about gambling at the stadium also.
You want us to give it up for 4 hours on Saturday, then for 24hours on Sunday. I think we already pay a stiff price. That's 28 hours of oppression.
Can't buy after 9 and can't buy at all on Sundays. America isn't as free as we think.
Should you have to plan ahead to go buy a pint of ice cream?

I'm more concerned about the missed revenue opportunity for Baylor. Even if they sell beer in the stadium, I'll be getting all of mine in the parking lot, but for those that want to pay for it in the stadium, why not? We sell soft-drinks and other things.Krieg said:

If you sold 1 beer for $10 to 20,000 attendees You're looking at an additional $200,000 in game day revenue. These are theoretically pretty easy to sell as you open the can, poor and collect so even Savor can do that. Heck, we're talking about Baptists so I bet you'll average a lot more than 1 beer per 20K attendees. Just think what happens when we play OU?!?!

In a stadium that holds 45k, there not going to be half of them who want beer. That includes a lot of students who are underage. Or is someone suggesting Baylor go Aggie & Longhorn & sell to underage minors?
It's a ridiculous fantasy. I cannot imagine Baylor ever allowing any booze at McLane.

I heard it said once that it's only the people who aren't smart enough to talk about the infinite details of a game that drink. They drink to get attention.

Quite possibly true, but I'll bet there are enough that would buy more than 1 to more than make up the difference.historian said:

I'm hoping our Bears will drive OU and UT to drink after the games this year.

Nope. How many times have you gone to a football game or baseball and basketball and had to smell vomit from the boozers for the game or even worse tried to get it off your children who have bee puked on. The profit is not worth that. Keep it a family affair and
enjoyment. Drink a coke or slurpee.

I've been to every regular season game at Texas stadium from 2002-2005. I went to 77 Rangers games in the same time span. Didn't count how many Stars and Mavs games. I think I've seen someone drunk puking 1 time, and it was in the parking lot.
Worth every nickel we can get to have it at McLane. I don't think I've witnessed anyone that was puking drunk inside a stadium, ever.
And I went to the UT-Baylor game last year and didn't see any shenanigans there either.

You can get beer a lot cheaper at the tailgates before and after the game. But you can also sneak it in with a little ingenuity. I feel sorry for people that can't figure out how to sneak in alcohol into sporting events. I don't know how they are going to survive when 30 million North Koreans invade this country.

You're telling me our BOR put us through the worst sh_tshow on earth, we had to endure a single win season and they don't even have the decency to sell beer in the stadium to numb the pain?
...guess I'll have to go to the 365 container all season long and pregame it up!
