Yes, but you can't drink in sight of the pitch, e.g. you can only drink beer in the concourses.

Really? I thought it was banned because of hooliganism.

Thenry is correct. At Stamford Bridge it was insane at half with everyone piled inside drinking the overpriced stadium beer.

At one point it might have been banned entirely. The not drinking in sight of the pitch rule effectively minimizes the in-game boozing enough as it is. Fans won't leave their seats to purchase and consume a pint of beer during the half. Nor do many really want to wait in line for ten minutes at halftime, only to down a shitty Foster's in two, just to get back to their seats in time.

You can order your halftime pint in the platinum level at St. James' Park and it's ready and waiting for you when you walk in. Pretty cool.

Also, they have bookies in the stadium ready to take bets and it's totally legal which is amazing.

There's no fighting because they will throw you out if you're an away fan and not sitting in the segregated section.

Hooliganism is largely dead there. Man City fans were much nicer than any SEC fan base I've ever seen and it's not close.

Anfield had beer but like previously said, you have to drink it by the concession stand
