I know that WVU sells beer in its stadium. Their AD based the decision on looking at other schools that were doing it and making money. The reported no increase in behavior or arrests and actually said they had fewer issues because people weren't trying to constantly sneak booze into the game.
Interesting thought.

Have you been to a game at WVU? The entire thing is an issue. They just don't care, any issues with selling beer is a drop in the bucket for the issues they have there. burning couch anyone?
that being said I am pro beer sales at Lane, and Bourbon.

Sorry accidental down vote. Can someone help correct my mistake please?
Remember when mcdonalds gave out free fries if we won and you showed them your ticket? So it is possible to do something similar, they would just need to figure out a way for it to apply only to the fans who stayed the entire game.

that would actually be pretty easy to do, just have coupons and don't start handing them out until after the game ends. Advance Auto did something like that for some of LU's Basketball games with windshield washer fluid.
And I just fat fingered it too

Possibly, the one for LU basketball was if both teams scored a combined 100 points, though I remember getting one at a game that didn't even make it to that.

Just don't hand them out until the end of the game. If you hand them out at the start of the 4th quarter, you're only pushing the exodus back a few minutes.

Ummmm - what conference still allows beer sales in the stadiums and how do we join?

That would be awesome if Lane would do something like offer tacos (or better yet turkey legs) like what Oregon did.

Didn't football do the windshield wiper fluid for over 30/40 points a few years ago?

That's a good idea... hand out things to fans LEAVING the stadium...
starting in the 4th Quarter, so fans have to stay to get item(s)...
