The ratio as in the amount of bad that would come from it vs. the amount of good that would come from it.

good: more $

bad: increasing DUI/DWI %
more in stadium issues with behavior
more intoxication related accidents
more liability for LSU

would be totally irresponsible by the school. our students and fans are drinking from 7amm already then you want to let them continue to get loaded up into the time they get in their cars to drive home? Terrible idea and putting more lives at risk if yo uask me.

We all know the good.

The bad would be having to walk through the damn little isles every time I needed a beer. That would suck. It's the reason why I never move during the game.

Good:
- more money spent on concessions
- louder stadium
- people not waitin last second to get in the stadium
- Bathrooms wouldn't be taken by people trying to mix drinks in their stall?

Bad:
-more piss balloons?
-bathrooms would be more crowded



It will be more profitable. The ONLY thing that would take anything away from the total profit would be possibly requiring more security guards. Which would easily be covered by alcohol sales.

I'd probably be better off. Instead of drinking beer all afternoon then switching to whiskey, I could just keep a small buzz going.

it's funny that you being inconvenienced in access to it is the only fundamental issue that you think of.

Most venues will have plenty of people who bring beer to you.

So why is having beer at a pro game a good idea? I see no difference. If they are doing it and no one is worrying about it, we should have it too.

Ok lets say completely sloshed fan A goes to the stand and buys yet another beer. The man, visibly over the edge, is served again. While stumbling back to his seat he slips and knocks a kid down the stairs. He's at fault but is the vendor at fault for knowingly over serving and already shite faced patron. A good lawyer will make LSU pay.

None of that is true if it results in less hard liquor being smuggled in. While I suspect that would be the case there is really no way to know.

The good.... They could make more than enough money to allow for the school to do away with this whole parking fee BS.
