[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 71128, member: 1640"] On the one hand "you have a lot of people show up late and leave early" because TV "games last 4+" and apparently a lot of people cannot do without their drinks. On the other hand, "Most Tech fans .... aren't HUGE drinkers in the 1st place..." I wonder which it is. They appear to be mutually exclusive phenomena. I have not advocated a position yet on the drinking / no drinking in the stadium issue. But I am struck by how Tech people, who I always thought of as cold and rational when it comes to problem solving, begin to use anecdotal evidence to lobby from the heart when it involves alcohol. Forgive me for using your post to illustrate the issue. I will come clean here. I like a good beer. I also don't have to have one to have a good time. My personal pattern is to drink at baseball games because they tend to be slow and relaxed with a lot of sitting. At football I tend to want my hands free more for jumping up and down and yelling. I tend to doubt that beer sales at Tech would be the huge benefit so many suggest but I understand how some would think that it would enhance their game day experience. On the other hand it would be nice to hear Tech people be a little less passionate about "their personal right to drink" and start digging up some hard numbers and solid sociological research. I honestly do not have a dog in this fight. I am just struck how everyone seems to be using anecdotal evidence to support their personal preferences when this will actually have a much larger effect on a lot of people one way or another.
