    Absolutely.

    Just because an idiot group of players and fans made @SSES of themselves last night, why should you shut it down EVERYWHERE????

    I say - if you are caught causing trouble at a sporting event AND under the influence - LAY THE HAMMER DOWN.

    How many years has alcohol been served at sporting events and no incidents????

    I said No because even with the group I sit with in Tiger Stadium every once and a while we get the general admission seat and when they have been drinking they are usually not much fum to be around. I have brought liquor in stadiums before don't do it any more. So it's not like I am the local pastor just don't see the need.

    Also don't see why the Athletic dept or franchise would want to take on the risk. Bars have been sewed in the past for allowing drunk patrons to continue to drink and then when something happens outside the club or on the road the bar gets stuck with a bill.

    The games are sort of a family atmosphere so do we really need to serve beer at these events? I am glad Tiger Stadium does not. Do any college stadiums serve beer?

    They should sell beer at the LSU games. Then I wouldn't have to smuggle in a pint of whiskey. Beer is too hard to smuggle in but one time I sat next to some people who had several cases of cold Coors Light inside Tiger Stadium. I don't know how they got it in but I sure would like to have season tickets next to them.

    My sister's family has season tickets with 6 seats, and there is a set a students (or alumni) who smuggle whiskey in the stadium and they all drink, and by the 3rd quarter they are drunk and they look pretty stupid and are generally saying fairly stupid things that they would not say otherwise had they been sober. It's pretty pathetic.

    I've heard somewhere that you can't sell beer at on-campus stadiums because of NCAA regulations. I could be wrong, but you can buy beer if its played at a neutral site game, like TX/OU or the Cocktail party

    I voted no, I just think its a bad idea and a bad influence on youth.
