No it doesn't. There is another school in our conference who made over $500,000 PROFIT on beer sales last year.
That is an inarguable fact. Give me a single reason it wouldn't be similarly lucrative here?
I wouldn't want it to be identical. The upper deck of the end zone should wrap all the way around and not just be in the middle of it. Honestly how much more can just wrapping it around cost?
For some reason, I remember it being said that they couldn't structurally enclose the upper level. The angle would be too deep to do it.
All it takes is 1 underage kid that gets served and then kills someone in a car accident to make those dollars go away real quick.
The risk/reward is not worth it for the dollars we are talking.
Feel like I'm beating a dead horse here.
If this were true no arenas would serve alcohol. Hell, we probably wouldnt have bars.
This is a risk that exists at every single entity that serves alcohol in this country.
You are beating a dead horse. You're pointing is almost completely invalid/irrelevant on this issue.
I have no idea how our risk compares to other schools/pro teams that allow beer sales at games. My comment was objecting to the absolute-ness of your statement and wasn't making a statement regarding the risk/benefit to ISU.
Explain how this would be unique to JTS compared to every bar in the entire country?
If the risk was that significant, I can't imagine that other schools would engage in this practice.
I find it highly unlikely the university would be found at fault for a drunk driving accident that occurs during or soon after a football game. You'd have to prove the underage kid was served at the stadium for there to be even a remote chance of a lawsuit.
They already let people drink to excess on their property before during and after the game. If a person drinks in a box at the game and gets in a accident under the influence would the university be at fault?
LOL...JP is a business man. I am a business man. I can see pretty easily why we do not sell beer at JTS. The $$$$ need to be higher to offset all the issues that have been brought up in this thread. That is the bottom line. Be happy you can sneak a Busch Light in the game
I actually agree with you and agardini, but I didn't know if that was a reality or not. If they actually plan to tie the upper decks together somehow, I could see that cost being significant.
WHAT ABOUT "JP WON'T ALLOW IT" DOES NO ONE GET HERE ?????? GEEZ THIS IS BEYOND STUPID. Let's debate paving all of central campus next for gawd's sake.
Back on the stadium ...... has anyone seen the details on the tunnel from the FOF to it's exit??? So cool.
I have yet to see any real issues brought up in this thread. Merely unsubstantiated doomsday scenarios.
Just because JP doesn't allow it doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. I'm not arguing about whether or not JP will allow it.
God...er JP Wills It. Stop discussing things. This is not what message boards are for.
Part of any risk assessment is to assume worst case scenario. That is how it is done...FYI.
