The University of North Carolina, meanwhile, is in its fifth season of selling alcohol, which has helped the bottom line with about $4 million in sales. After having $320,213 in net sales during the 2019-20 athletic year, the school quadrupled that number last year and will see an increase again after this season.

Ironically, our fans currently need it more than most other fan bases.

Oh that'll never happen. The wealthy donors are of course allowed to drink in the privacy of their lounge, but the third class ticket folks down in the bowels of the ship eating bread and water and singing ethnic songs aren't allowed to partake in the first fruits of the vine. It's a very Feudalistic way of thinking, but that's where we are

One of the most Baylor things ever...

Sell beer and use the proceeds for NIL. Or sell beer to raise money for Arandas buy out.

Selling beer in the stadium is not the answer to Baylor's problem on the field. Besides I've gone to games in those places where alcohol is sold and it's not an enjoyable experience. Baylor University is a private Christian school why does tearing that down help?

Show me in the Bible where Christians can't drink. I'll hang up and wait. Yes, if they sell alcohol some people will abuse it, but there's already lots of people drinking and getting drunk outside of the stadium on Baylor property. Why does Baylor turn a blind eye to that?There's lots of things that aren't inherently good or bad that people abuse. The Internet isn't inherently bad, but people use it for sexual immorality. Guns aren't inherently bad, but people use them to commit murder etc. marriage is an institution ordained by God, and yet mankind in it's total depravity has been given over to vile impurity such that men are marrying men and women are marrying women (Romans 1). and I guess our big money donors aren't Christians, because they are up there drinking

Baylor has already caved on a lot of points of actual biblical teaching. I don't see why people want to cling to this last hand-me-down of 19th century tradition that's not even supported by strong argument in the Bible. Constrain me with scripture as Martin Luther said

This is why we can't have nice things.

At a minimum can't we sell near beer? ODouls? Heineken 0.0?

Watching the game at TCU two years ago, seeing some student double fisting, camera puts him on the jumbo tron, he throws his head back, and pours both beers towards his mouth while he shakes his head like a St Bernard showering himself and the those around him with his beer. Lol

sell beer

I like that I can take my 9 and 6 year old to a Baylor game and I'm not hearing F bombs and explaining debauchery to them. I wouldn't take my kids to TCU or the Red River Rivalry, those are the last non Baylor experiences I've had. If Baylor changed the alcohol policy, so be it, but I would miss the family friendly environment.

I wouldn't mind Baylor's policy as long as it was consistent across the board. It's absolutely unfair that the big donors can drink in their boxes

Although it might be in their best interest to start selling to help with this buyout!

Beer made Bud wiser

I don't think it'd be a problem. These are college fans, not NFL fans. 99% would keep their consumption under control and maybe loosen up enough to cheer loudly for the game.

I haven't sat anywhere outside the student section yet but it was wild in there. Baylor kids chanting "F- Joe Biden" during the 2021 season just about every game, among other vulgar things. I've seen kids flipping and cursing off the away team as well

Christians can drink...dang, they make the stuff:

Abbey Brewing Company
Birra Nursia
Monte Cassino
St Maurice Abbey
Schlgl Stiftsbrauerei
Chartreuse
Benedictine
Blonde Ale from the Monastery of St. Benedict in Italy
Westvleteren beer from the Trappist Abbey of Saint Sixtus in Belgium
Buckfast Tonic Wine from the Buckfast Abbey in England
Lux Amoris - Abbey of Le Barroux, France

And on and on...

Only game we made it out to this year was versus Long Island, and as we were walking to the stadium about to pass the bridge, we saw a big group of people tailgating and drinking beer out in the open. My wife was like, "I thought people weren't allowed to drink at Baylor" lol. I guess it's just too inconvenient to enforce, even though they have an army of like 100,000 goons ready to bust you if you park in the wrong spot on game day

I've never understood the (or some) baptist(s') position on alcohol when our lord and savior Jesus Christ drank alcohol. Cognitive dissonance much? Prohibition is the reason binge drinking is largely an issue on college campuses in the US. Europe doesn't have the binge drinking issue.

Show me where in the Bible is says not to drink alcohol. Jesus turned water into wine for goodness sake!

I've only been to three away games. SMU, TCU and Texas State. At all three we were subjected to foul mouth drunk fans. In one case one was throwing up, in another we had to keep guessing if he was going to throw up and making sure we would not be in the puke path. It has nothing to do with scripture or tradition, I don't want to go through those things here at home. Lets face it, there are those who overindulge and make others miserable and then there's the issue of these folks driving home in the car next to me. I personally would rather pay an extra $20 per season ticket if this is simply a money issue. BTW I do enjoy a beer here and there, I'm not a teetotaler by any means.

It sounds like some campus police need to hand out some PIs.

I'm okay with the current situation. Allow drinking outside the stadium, not inside.

I spend enough time standing in line at the restrooms now.

I was there for the Beall years...I can't even imagine what it would have been like to watch all those games sober.

Most fun tailgating experience I had was at Floyd Casey. My friend had a big tent near the home side and we'd pop out there during halftime to get a couple more drinks.

I actually don't care if we don't sell alcohol, but there shouldn't be different policies for different social classes. It's just funny to me that a student will get in trouble for having it in their dorm (regardless of age), but a rich person is offered it in their rich person lounge inside the stadium. It's good to be rich kids

With the way we play, this may not be a problem for our fan base. We will need to drink more to kill the pain.

Get off my lawn! Controlled rowdiness among students at games is what separates college ball from 3A ball.

I am not sure what "Christian school" means at Baylor or what that has to do with selling alcohol beverages at the game has to with each other. I also do not understand what "Christian school" and the Baylor chartered LGBTQ club have to do with each other either. I wished I could understand all the confusion but I do not.

"Christian" to most people in America just means "clean cut and nice"

I don't think Baylor serving beer would be a problem. Our fans are tame. They need to get louder. BYU fans are rowdy as hell and they do it off of doughnuts and milk. The BU section is a mix but those who are already drunk are well… already drunk. Why do frat boys where cowboy boots when it's 100 degrees? It ain't for the look I'll tell ya that. The cost would price out many college kids anyway. They aren't shelling out $10-12 for a beer. They will continue wearing boots.

As a plebeian fan I'd like the option if the suite owners get the option. Very Baptist. Get a lecture on the ills of drinking by someone who I saw crush a bottle of wine a week ago.

Regarding the thread title. I'm a little surprised it is as low as 80%. I thought it would be like 98%

I'm fine with not selling beer/alcohol during the game, but I probably would have bought one on Saturday if it had been offered.

There's no reasonable argument against selling beer. Also, to be fair, there needs to be a cash bar out side the suite areas (hell, make it a liquor store so they can take bottles back to the suite). No smuggling. Everybody pays. It's a cash cow.

Yep. Agree, no need for alcohol, we have TTU and TCU fans to worry about, and soon we'll have UH and Cincy fans making regular treks to McClane. Last thing any of those fans need is alcohol.

Anyone who believes the student body abstains from alcohol or any other risk behaviors has never been to Waco. There are drunk and sober rowdy fans at McLane. There was the same across the street.
There are F bombs because all the people are humans and that's how they learned to talk.
Only (ONLY) difference is that revenue stream is lost.
