I'll just leave this here

A little birdy said this would be happening this season. The terrible watery stuff but happening nonetheless...

Hurray for the imminent change in alcohol laws in Oklahoma. Seems like that might have paved the way for this. Can't wait to get rid of the watery stuff. PO'd they seem to have delayed that a year to appease all the small liquor stores!

TU could have sold good beer at the games if they wanted. They opted for a liquor license that covered only the area that serves the royalty. They felt the serfs were undeserving of having beer in the stadium!

I still remember the days in the early 70's when a young entrepreneur from The John would bring in a couple of ice chests with enough supplies to sell mixed drinks in the student section.

Good luck getting an ice chest in now.

After 9/11 even as an asthmatic they wouldn't allow me to bring in sealed water bottles. They said I needed to buy them for $3 each...

 

[TU 1978]

They need to bring back beer. Aside from bringing my own drinks in during my time at TU in the 1970s, I remember when they sold beer in the 1990s. I think some locally made craft beers would sell well.

I think locally made craft beers are a splendiferous idea.

Give me Marshalls because you already gave me Woj! (A fate worse than death!)

Part of that is the liability involved with serving alcohol. You see lawsuits all the time where someone who has been injured by a drunk driver looks to sue the establishment who continued to serve an individual even though the drinker was obviously not in a good state. Many of the decisions like this come down to risk management and liability issues and not is it an enhancement to the overall experience (unless you're Navy or BYU who don't have it for a different reason).

And then they'd want to charge you for a fountain drink although all you wanted was some ice to make the not-chilled water cold.

So royalty drinkers are more responsible!!! Have alcohol or not, but quit being hypocrites about the policy. This is just a revival of the old "liquor by the wink", where the royalty get something not available to the serfs. Just adds to the country club mentality of the have's v. the have not's.

Allow beer or don't.
Stop the elitist sh1t.

That doesn't help any cause.

And if DU/WI is such a concern, why are the suite drunks allowed to park so close and get to their car quicker after drinking?
Think about it.

I attended lots of games in the 60s. Lots of liquor bottles were left on the saands.

We used to syringe oranges with vodka and take them to the games to watch Rhome and Twilley. Great times!

 

[TUBballJunkie]

I imagine if low point beer goes well it will be expanded. Baby steps.

That is the slogan for Wicked Weed Brewing of Asheville, NC.

Ideally they won't be selling 3.2 beer in a year or two, and they won't have that choice.

 

[TU Sepp]

Eric makes some good tasting 3.2 beer that he sells at the brewery! Maybe TU will sell that.

I never said that...but if you limit who you're serving to about 50 people you limit your liability.

 

[TU Sepp]

Sorry Bla, I may have inferred something that you did not intend. However, for TU to say their is no alcohol served at the games is a bold face lie. They serve their preferred donors and not the un-preferred donors. Serve it or not, they not to quit being hypocritical about their stance on alcohol!

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Suites at Boone Pickens are the same way. Actually even worse because you can bring in your own liquor and wine to the suites. I imagine suites at OU offer alcohol too.

Suites at BOK had infinitely better drink options than the regular seats last time I was at an Oilers game.

Those fancy most expensive Warren Theater seats serve drinks. Promenade Hollywood Theaters do not.

I don't have a problem with major perks for major money where entertainment is concerned. And it's the norm literally everywhere yet people are inexplicably personally offended by it at TU.

We at least get to go out and in to get drinks. That's not an option in a lot of stadiums that are dry for the commoners.
