Wish there could be in stadium seat ordering and delivery. Just use an app to order. Or at least order on the app and go somewhere to pick up app orders only. Pay on the app on your phone. Couldn't do with beer sales though as need to see the person.

Thankfully they sell beer at MLB games (all the way down to the minors) as need one with my dawgs.

Having been to other stadiums that sell beer and not seen major issues firsthand, I'm less opposed to it than I once was. My preference would be to sell beer in the stadium, eliminate leaving at half time, and crack down hard on people bringing alcohol in from outside the stadium

Also, there's some people here who clearly need this.

My favorite posts in this thread are those who say “…other schools ONLY make around $1 million per year collectively”.

Shucks… I guess we should just stay $51 million behind instead of $50 million.

Duh!
Why would it cost that much? The beer would be marked up considerably and we're already paying concession workers.
Cost of beer, cost of logistics and infrastructure, increased security, increased property and causality premiums, etc.. If you don’t know the difference between gross and profit, I am not sure what to tell you.

Well considering there were never actual numbers put forward it's hard to know either way isn't it slick?

Again, the AD thinks we will lose money on it. It’s been discussed a million times. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.
I don’t think they believe we won’t make money, I think the margin they’d make isn’t worth the trouble. That may change with a $22MM Player salary bill coming due soon.

I believe they were at some point, and IIRC the increased profit (after expenses) over existing Sukup and the west side club section dollars was estimated in the 100s of thousands, not millions. I don’t recall if Hilton was included in that number.

I will see if I can find it but It may have been in an interview with Jamie. If I can’t locate it, I won’t have “proof” but I am also not telling others to provide evidence with providing any to the contrary.
