While a hip flask does get the job done, nothing beats a frosty beer at sporting events. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy liquor; I just prefer it in the celebratory form of victory shots.
Paying $10 for beer. Bad. Paying $10 for Bud Light. VERY bad. I am not a light beer fan so it's easy for me to pass it up.

It is bad and it sucks, but like I said, it's the price you pay for enjoying a frosty one. I pregame before going in, but the idea of being able to have a cold one in my chair during warm-ups, even if, for $10 sounds awesome.

What would be awesome is if they served Old Main Brewing Company at the games. A Cyclone Ale sounds good right now. How long until I go home from work?

Creighton will have to be pretty terrible before they stop having huge crowds at their games due 100% to the fact that they sell alcohol at their arena. Still crazy that more places don't to it.

Considering virtually every single ticket for this season is already sold, renovate Hilton to hold another 5000+. Don't know how it would be done without completely tearing it apart, just saying.

We ought to be able to develop a hologram of Johnny to lead the players/Fred onto the court.
And by "we" of course I mean students of Computer Graphics.

if the fans are virtual can't we fit in real live people?

can't we have fans buy hanging cages for the game? direct overhead view

This is probably the most valid point twocoach has had on this forum. And more substance than your post has.

I think getting the student section to be a little classier by removing "you suck" after introductions would be a way to make Hilton better.

Yes.

The 5 claps is unique and traditional. It will suffice.

If it's impossible to do so without a chant of some kind, 'go state' has the same number of syllables. Use that.

I was watching an old game from the late 80s on Cyclones.tv this morning and watched the player intros... it certainly wasn't "You suck", but there was definitely a two-syllable phrase that I couldn't quite make out chanted after the five claps when they're introducing the away team. Sounded oddly like "bulls**t", which, I have to say, is probably a lot worse than "you suck"... if that's not what they're saying, then forgive me. Maybe someone who remembers games at Hilton circa 1987-ish can elucidate.

I've been trying to remember what if anything was said, but I can't remember. I do remember that during their introduction we give them a bit of respect, hence the 5 claps. I can assure you we weren't swearing at them or telling them they sucked.

If it was an iowa game you were watching then I can't guarantee anything.

The "you suck" is stupid and embarrassing. Total amateur hour. People clap to fast to on the 5 claps.

Best way to make Hilton better would be to get students to show up to more than just 2 games a year. Student section needs to be full every game.
