[QUOTE="BilldGopher, post: 519792, member: 4315"] You'll see a big Block M on that map over Minneapolis. I moved to Minnesota from Georgia in 1989 to attend the UM. My first Gophers football game was against Nebraska...the Gophers lost 48-0 which was not what I was used to for Georgia football under Vince Dooley. The one thing though was that the Gophers played in the Metrodome...they had given up Memorial Stadium back in 1982 or so...and that you could buy beer. It was quite the novelty for a UGA grad who had always either drank too much before the game...or found a way to continue drinking too much while Between the Hedges. Flip the rolodex 20 years when finally the Gophers moved back to campus to a new, open-air stadium whose naming rights was sold to a one "TCF Bank." Of course money from the Legislature was required...and given the very populist nature of Minnesota democrats...should the folks in the boxes be allowed to drink while the masses have soda (that's what they call it here)...or would all enjoy the simple joy of very expensive beer? The populists won and the rest is history. There are beer and wine sales at TCF In general the only folks who have a "problem" with sales of alcohol for a NCAA event are those who would have a problem anyway. For us it's Iowa and Wisconsin fans but your average Minnesota fan has a couple during the game and that's it. The Billd's drink before the game and have Coke during the game because beer/wine inhibits our ability to yell on first down...second down...and so on...sensitive vocal chords I guess. Fact is even when sales are legal there are folks that sneak stuff in...and risk being thrown out. Once the novelty wears off in general it's the kids and the visitors that have issues...the rest are fine. [/QUOTE]
