[QUOTE="ClydeBrick, post: 71537, member: 1329"] There used to be plenty of room at Grant Field, the urinal was just a long trench along the back wall in the men's room - now we have to be all fancy. Until my kid was marching in the band, I had not been to a game in 20+ years. At that first game I went to I remember thinking that my gameday experience was just like old times when I smelled whisky. Hearing the "bust their ***" after Go Jackets, "bulls***" after a bad call, and the Budweiser song gave me hope for the future. Still haven't heard the "where's his thumb?" one when referencing the cheerleaders though and "a**es on the wood" just doesn't have the same ring as "a**ses on the aluminum" does when the game gets slow (like during a TV timeout). I remember in the 80's that the rumor was that they sold ginger ale in the West Stands so the alumni would have a choice of mixers, and the stadium cups had that step in the first inch to show you how much coke (or ginger ale if you were on the west side) to drink down before topping off with your favorite spirit. Selling beer can be a good money maker, but I would not have wanted to be in the middle of the crowd I was in during last year's UGAg game if the puppy's fans had been pounding beer to go along with all the calls that they thought were unwarranted. I guess I would have to pony up more $$ and get better tickets among more Tech fans (could not believe all the r&b in the west side of the North Stands, it was like being in the Cesspool). Man could those folks whine. Alcohol is part of the gameday experience. If the Institute wants to be dead-against alcohol consumption at the games they would have to ban it at all campus locations - including tailgating - to be consistent and that would be a sure fire way to drive attendance [I]down[/I] not up. Heck, the first time I consumed alcohol on campus since I was a student was at the alumni tent last year for homecoming and guess what - the beer was free! [/QUOTE]
