Maybe worth a trip up there for a game

Just think of all of the chair-leg incidents that will occur during games now!

It would have to be in the stands, because those concourses are so wide that it would be unlikely that two people of opposing factions would get that close to each other.

Well, this could be interesting. Will they be the only B1G stadium to sell beer?

I like the beer garden concept, but it could lead to more empty seats in the stands, especially if there are televisions in the beer garden. If not, think back to the Blue Line Club in the old Coliseum and remember the brain freeze from guzzling a cold 16 oz between periods.

University officials watched the result of years of negotiations with approval. But the Board of Regents will still have to hammer out the logistics of the beer sales – where and how the beer will be sold; possibly in a stadium beer garden or other venue.

I can't foresee ANY problems in doing this. Sounds like a well-thought out, long term solution to keeping fan interest at it's currently high level.

New stadium ..........................check

Beer ................................check

Awesome new alternative uniforms ............................check

A "protected" automatic win on the schedule every year ..............................ummm, still working on that one

Who are they going to sell it to? Are they expecting people to actually show up if beer is available? I imagine this will be a plus for Nebraska, Iowa, and Wisconsin fans.

I thought this was contrary to B10 rules.

I'm pretty sure there is no such rule, it's just cited anytime a school doesn't want to sell beer for whatever reason because people believe it. Or maybe they can sell booze in suites but not to the unwashed masses. Who the hell knows.

From the link:

The University of Iowa sold $111,000 in alcohol at Kinnick Stadium during the 2010 football season, which puts the UI second among the four Big 10 schools that sell booze in stadium suites.

I think the rule is if the stadium is on campus they can't serve alcohal. Off campus its OK
Anyway this is way overdue for all those poor sober Minnisotans. Now they can drown their sorrows
next time they lose to East Dakota at home.

This is a good idea. That way, by the start of the second half most of the 25,000 in th stadium won't know or care what the score is, but will assume they had a good time. Win-win!

How much does one have to drink to make a Gopher game tolerable to watch if you're a Goof fan?

My Recent Posts · March 29, 2012 1:11 AM

Watching Gopher football sober is a borderline human rights violation. Nice to see them do the right thing for those poor people.

Somewhat off topic, I've been living in the Twin Cities for a couple months now. It's pretty amazing how many Badger shirts you see compared to Gopher shirts. Nobody wears Gopher stuff, and there are plenty of people wearing Badger red.

If a team lost to itself and I was in the stands watching, a few beers would be needed.

Is Wisconsin's stadium on campus?

The other schools that sell alcohol in addition to Wisconsin, according to the article I linked, are Iowa, Illinois, and Purdue. So on/off campus doesn't seem to matter.

Purdue's alcohol sales are limited to the fancy suites.
