Agree, but I know plenty of people who opt to go to Fatty's to watch the game just so they can drink. Most of them aren't out of control drunks but people who enjoy drinking while watching the game.

I would think a better solution would lie in improved security to combat any issues stemming from beer sales.

Extra security costs money.

It's a shame about people who won't go to a game because they have to drink to enjoy it. Sounds like alcoholic issues to me, expecially when you can drink yourself into a stupor before the game and at halftime.

Believe it or not, there are a large amount of people that enjoy a beer or two an are not alcoholic's. Selling on the West side of the stadium would bring in revenue, therefore check off the cost of extra security. Plus, it would make it no different than any professional venue as far as drinking goes. Since there is no alcohol in the stadium, folks probably slam several down before heading in, which is not good. Sell it in the stadium and you avoid the people leaving at half time to gulp down several...hence this would perhaps be more responsible.

I'm one of those. But, the fact that NIU does not sell alcohol at the games is not going to make me stay away and watch it at a bar, which is what Happy Huskie said about people he knew. Pretty sad IMO.

People are still going to slam beers down before the game rather than pay for it in the stadium. Having it in the stadium will be for people who can't be without a beer for 3 hours (or 1 1/2 hours if they go out at halftime). Besides, people enter the stadium with alcohol, anyway.

I'm not completely against beer sales on the west side. But, I don't think it will increase the number of fans attending the game (except for Happy Huskie's friends), and the cost of extra security may not make it worth it.

There's a big distinction to be made here. My friends and I have chosen not to patronize Fatty's because of all the flies in the building. Remember the days of the coach's show when they would be swatting away flies while on TV?

eye roll. I've used this handle way before I joined the Dog Pound. (Plus I fail to see what me being a Journalism Major has to do with anything, and for the record, I was not a Journalism Major) And for those of you who think that it is only a handful of my friends not attending the games to pound beers, skip a game, stroll over to Mollys/Starbusters/Fattys/Pizza Pros. They are teaming with people. The game is on, and people are watching the game. I actually dont think alcohol sales are needed at college games, esp if I bring my kid. The last thing I want to do on top of explain why a "bull sh*t" chant on a obvious call is to have to explain to my kid why the lush over in Section C just wet himself.

However, like most sporting events, I know that alcohol and sports go together, and for every 1 bad drunk, there are 50 people who can handle themselves and enjoy the game, with a beer. I was merely pointing out that of those 50 odd people, some of them are going elsewhere to enjoy the game, when you have attendance issues, and you see an obvious solution, you start to wonder if there is a way to make it work.

Look, everyone on here is a diehard, none of need a beer to watch a NIU game. But you are going to have to use your college degree and think beyond yourself to solve a solution and see a different point of view.

People drink alcohol. A few might sadly abuse ET-OH.(alcohol).
Beter to have the problem in the open then hush it up as one Frat did.
People are less likely to abuse ET-OH in public then in private.
The real message behind improving attendance is to make attending NIU FB games an enjoyable experience for as many as possible.
Many former students unfortunately associate negativity with NIU.
Going to a FB game should be a positive experience for as many as possible. In a society where everyone is stressed out with so many Taboos, sport is a release. Alcohol in moderation may help thousands of fans have a more pleasant ,sociable and relaxing experience.

Thank-you for the poster here, who is looking outside the box for ways to improve NIU FB attendance. Almost everyone on this board would like to do that. It certainly is something that should be looked at seriously before being dismissed. Weigh the pros and cons and see if it is implementable?

Louisville is going to sell $1 beers at its spring game. West Virginia claims selling beer "actually reduced the amount of excessive student drinking incidents."

Thank-you so much for bring in a fresh idea to increase attendance.
Many on this board will ridicule any idea that is new, however the only way to increase attendance is to keep on discussing the issue and bringing up new suggestions.

And that are football fans? Have you been to an NFL game lately? I would not bring my kid anywhere near an NFL stadium, not a chance in heck.

RE: Could this increase attendance?
I think a lot of people probably have a drink or two more than they should right before kickoff because there's nothing available inside the stadium. So I totally see how it could reduce drinking incidents.

I suspect I would regulate my tailgating consumption a little better knowing I could buy a couple drinks inside. Where I really get into trouble is when I'm SURPRISED by beer in the stadium, having already gotten tanked outside :drunk2:

I think with alcohol you'd probably have a few more idiots - there's always a few that ruin it for the rest of us. Might make the atmosphere less family-friendly. That said, I'm 50-50 on the idea.

RE: Could this increase attendance?
I am new to this site but wanted to join just for the sub topic here in this thread, which is increasing attendance at the game. If they do decide to serve beer they need to increase the number of bathrooms in the stadium. There are only a few things that will stop my friends and others my age (50) from attending a game like a lack of a place to relieve one’s self will. It’s embarrassing and uncomfortable and it would be made worse if beer were served, which I would be all for, if there were bathroom space. I have some other ideas but will post in the main attendance thread.

That's a very good point. Huskie stadium isn't really set up for that now.

Welcome to the board, you Old Dog!

Yeah good points, you already have to get uncomfortably close to your fellow Huskie fans peeing, can you imagine standing next to those same fans peeing under the influence. Could get messy.

If they do decide to serve beer they need to increase the number of bathrooms in the stadium. There are only a few things that will stop my friends and others my age (50) from attending a game like a lack of a place to relieve one’s self will. It’s embarrassing and uncomfortable and it would be made worse if beer were served, which I would be all for, if there were bathroom space. I have some other ideas but will post in the main attendance thread.

Welcome to the board, you Old Dog!

You're not old at all. It's good to have another mature individual on line so we can share more prostate and flatulence frustrations.
You are right, more beer - more bathrooms.

Heck, more people = needing more bathrooms.

I cant imagine what the West stand bathroom lines would be like if the stadium were full!

Yeah good points, you already have to get uncomfortably close to your fellow Huskie fans peeing, can you imagine standing next to those same fans peeing under the influence. Could get messy.

Attention, we need CLEANUP on urinal 8!
Old Dog, you're barking up the right tree....

I assume you mean THE urinal trough!

I am much older than Old Dog. Therefore, I may just use a catheter and pee right at my seat. My wife is already used to cleaning up my "leakage", so what the hell. Bring on the beer!
