As more and more schools approve of the sale of alcohol
Jun 29, 2016, 8:03 PM
|
|
and is supported by the NCAA, IMO Dan Radakovich is making the right decision for Clemson to ban the sale of alcohol sales at DV on game day. It gives more credence that Clemson is one big family with a family atmosphere. A place you can send you kid where morals and family values still have meaning.
IMO if alcohol sales were to be allowed on game day inside DV it would have more negative than positive consequences for the overall character of Clemson and I beleive it would have negative implications on the success of the football program.
I don't see anything wrong with people bringing their own while they tailgate. I usually have one or two cold beers when I attend a game when I tailgate with friends.
I just think the university should not get into the beer and wine business I think it would take away from what makes Clemson such a special place. The feeling of family and family moral values and character.
There is a good article on CBS Sports website:

If that ever happens, you will see some very ugly behavior coming from all around the stadium. Hope it never happens.

I would think everyone is already drinking that wants to drink. People are slamming drinks before they go in because they can't drink inside. I am not sold it would change things much, other than more income. You could be correct, but I am not sold.

Back in the 80's my best friend chugged beer until game time then
Jun 29, 2016, 9:11 PM

Brought a bottle on Jack Daniels into DV. As soon as he pulled it out to add to his Coke a ATF agent grabbed him by the collar. It cost him a $1000.
If people can't get enough alcohol while tailgating what do you think will happen if they can buy alcohol inside DV.
I have seen a few incidents inside DV that were made worse because both fans were close to being drunk. If you want to drank that much stay outside and watch the game on a big screen TV or just stay at home and watch the game on TV.
I went to see Tenn play SC in the mid 90's my friend had been drinking so much while we were tailgating that he throw up on the people in front of us. Then he passed out. Security had to help me get him to the car. It ruined several people's game day experience.
There nothing worse than somebody that has had to much to drink especially at an outdoor event in the hot sun to ruin other peoples game day!

One can argue that they binge drink harder outside...
Jun 29, 2016, 9:16 PM

because they can't buy a beer inside. That's the way I viewed it when I was younger before I cut back. We used to get as smashed as possible because we knew we couldn't drink inside other than sneaking it in like your friend. I don't think we will ever know what really whether it's a good or bad ideal, aside from trial. If they were selling liquor that would be one thing, but bud light or what not? I am not sold it is that big of a deal. Maybe it is maybe it isn't. No telling. I think it wouldn't change much, but I could be very wrong.

I don't even need to give these crazy examples of binge drinking
Jun 29, 2016, 11:30 PM

and vomit..
How about little things like,
--I like that I'm not worried about someone spilling beer on me or my daughter.
--I don't want to give people one more reason to have to come and go in front ofe dirong game time. A beer a half makes 4 times 1 person is trying to squeeze through during the game. Tack on more for the bathrrom trip to follow.
And again.. why? For money? Is a Clemson game not enough?
For the record, I'm 37, not far removed from party days.
When Joe Riley put a moratorium on new bar openings in Chas, I called BS. When city council voted to close bars every night at 2a I was against it. Booze in DV.... no thanks.

The "isn't the game enough comment" doesn't hold water. Why even drink outside? Why catch a buzz at all? Isn't the game enough? I personally enjoy a beer on a nice day, especially if we were blowing someone out, which we will do often. I have been to the SB, the NBA championship a couple times, had Lakers season tickets, Dodgers season tickets, go to the Masters every year, and I enjoy having a few beers at those. I don't see it as an issue where you can't enjoy watching and have a beer or two. The spilling beer on people would be terrible, especially on a child. I have never done that. That person should be tossed. I am still for the beer if we need to raise revenue to compete properly at any point, or if it is giving our opponents an advantage with more revenue. That is if the revenue is a huge windfall makes a big difference. If it is not, then I am against it. I only go to two Clemson football games a year, so I am not as invested as some of you all are. That said, wouldn't you like a beer at a Clemson basketball game or baseball game?

I use to go to Panther games and they would be looped before going in and then jeep buying inside and get completely wasted. I stopped going because I go for the football and a couple if beers. I go to all Clemson games snd love the fact that with few exceptions I dont have to put up with that nonsense. If Clemson became like Panthers I would not travel 3 hours to endure that. I would give up my tickets

I remember because I asking $22 for a $20 ticket. I was a college kid
Jul 1, 2016, 4:21 PM
|

and really did not know about scalping. In fact I thought my ticket face value was $25. The Liberty undercover cop grabbed the back of my pants forcing me to walk almost a mile with a severe wedgie to the kangaroo court. It was like going through the old DMV lines winding left and right until you saw the magistrate.
Brings back the good old days. By the way I never sold another ticket. Lol

may not be able to close it because the revenue will become part of the budget.
IMO schools that are selling alcohol inside their stadiums have cross a dangerous line. It opens those schools up nto a awhile new liability.

I agree with you that it is an issue Clemson needs to research. I don't though I will ever change my mind."
I think Clemson should stop letting people out at halftime and then letting them back in. Once you leave that's it you cannot come back into DV.
I do respect your opinions.

Yes people are already drinking, but those people have nothing to do with clemson. 0 affiliation. None of the recruits or parents have to see it inside the stadium, it will still be the same people who leave before halftime to go drink and then come back in.

ISNT IT BAD ENOUGH NOW THAT KIDS AND MANY ADULTS ARE CONSTANTLY UP AND DOWN GOING TO BATHROOM, GOING TO CONCESSIONS. WONDER WHAT THE % IS OF FANS IS THAT ACTUALLY SEES THE ENTIRE GAME. BEER SALES WOULD MAKE IT EVEN WORSE. LOUISVILLE WAS TERRIBLE. I DRINK WITH THE BEST OF THEM AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO SNEAK IN A DRINK OR 2 BUT IT IS VERY RARE THAT I LEAVE MY SEAT UNTIL I SEE THE BAND COME ON THE FIELD AT HALFTIME. PEOPLE ARE WAY TO INCONSIDERATE OF OTHERS AS IT IS. PUT ME IN THE NO CATEGORY.

Having been to plenty of events that serve alcohol

[ in reply to Re: People are already drinking.. ] |

parents with kids are always CONSIDERABLY worse than the people drinking in terms of the number of times they get up to go to the bathroom/concession stands.
I've also had little kids kick their sodas on me a ton of times, but can't ever remember somebody spilling beer on me at a game.

I was only allowed to go down go the bathroom/concession stands one time per game while the game was being played.
I went before kickoff, at halftime, and one time during game play if necessary. The parents now are taking their kids 4 or 5 times a game, and that's all by the mid 3rd quarter at which point they leave because the kids are too tired.

THAT IS ANOTHER POLICY I WOULD BAN. I NEVER LEAVE AT HALFTIME. I KNOW I WILL GET BLASTED FOR IT BUT I NEVER HAVE BEEN INTO RACING TO THE PARKING LOT, DRINKING A COUPLE OF BEERS, RACING BACK IN AND GO TO THE BATHROOM IN HOPES I SEE THE 2ND HALF KICKOFF. OUR ATMOSPHERE IS PATHETIC AT THE START OF THE 3RD QUARTER WITH HALF THE STADIUM NOT IN THEIR SEATS.

Danny Ford once said that the first series in the 3rd qt set the tone for the 2nd half. As a Die Hard Clemson fan I would want to there for the 2nd half kick off to cheer on the Tigers.

If alcohol at football games is so bad, how unruly were we
Jun 30, 2016, 10:49 AM
|
|
as fans at the National Championship or any bowl game for that matter? I had a Miller lite in hand at all moments of the National Championship game. It was great even though I probably spent over $100 cash for cold beer in that game.
It's a huge cash cow and an untapped resource. I'm all for it. The demand is there, that's a for sure. People slam alcohol before the game and at half time to overcompensate for the time in the game. I've even been known to bring in my flask for big games. Bottom line: there are tens of thousands of lubricated tiger fans who may just want to keep the buzz alive.
I would be pro halftime exit ban if beer was sold in the stadium. Half of the people who leave would stay if that were the case. Cut me off in the third quarter and I can sober up on chicken wings back at the tailgate celebrating the tiger win.

100% Against Alcohol Sales at College Stadiums
Jun 29, 2016, 9:32 PM
|
|
Especially Death Valley. I agree with others that it will take away from the family atmosphere that many of us love and visitors are surprised to find. That being said, as far as alcohol sales are concerned...three of the stadiums we played in last year sold in stadium alcohol: ACCCG, Orange Bowl, and the National Championship Game. I enjoyed a couple at each game and really liked the craft beer selection at a few. I didn't see anyone getting out of hand or any ill effects from alcohol sales. None of the three mentioned though can hold a candle to the atmosphere of Death Valley!
I think it is inevitable because of the potential revenue. But, my vote is to hold off as long as possible. One of my big gripes as of late is the "mega tailgates" so close to the stadium that really over power single space/family tailgating. One in particular plays really loud music right beside the stadium and often plays over in stadium events. I remember distinctly loud, obnoxious music coming from a tailgate during military appreciation ceremonies. Maybe I'm just getting old! 
GO TIGERS!! B.Y.O.G. and B.Y.O.B.!

Syracuse also sold it inside the stadium. I was told the Carrier Dome is one of only 4 on campus stadiums that did so. Sounds like that number has increased.

bourbon, and good vodka, and good Irish whiskey. I love a few shots of tequila every now and then as well. Having said that, when I go to a Clemson football game, I'm ultimately there for the football. The problem with alcohol at football games is almost always with the people who are there for the alcohol, or otherwise just can't enjoy the game without it. It's just not that important to me at a football game, so while I don't flat out object to sales in the stadium, I completely understand the reasons for not having it, and I'm fine with that.

But to think that someone would pay for game tickets and parking just "to be there for the alcohol" is a bit of a stretch. You can buy a case of beer at the gas station and stand on the sidewalk if that's the case. I know I would not spend $300 just for the privilege for me and my wife to buy 3 $7 beers when we got into the stadium.

I look at it from two perspectives....
Jun 29, 2016, 9:41 PM
|
|
First, for the responsible folks that want to pay ~$8 bucks for a 16oz cup of draft beer to wash down their hot dog, I say great. They aren't going to get rowdy and show their azzes, most likely. They may have indeed drank some before the game, maybe during halftime, and possibly even afterwards at the tailgate. I have no problem with this, since it usually doesn't interfere with my game experience and simply adds dollars to the coffer.
Second, for the irresponsible folks that don't mind paying ~$16 bucks for two 16oz cups of draft beer (and then have a non-drinking wingman buy two more for him at the same time) in an effort to simply get as shyte faced as possible while in the stands, I say not so great. I have been to too many NFL games where folks who are clearly already inebriated are buying more beer and become an issue for others around them and then security shows up and etc etc. It certainly interferes with the game experience but the profits are huge.
And yes, I drink beer. I love beer. But I guess it's the old adage of a few bad apples ruining it for everyone else. Just my opinion.

What do selling alcohol and family atmosphere have to do with each other?

If you're worried about how people will act inside the stadium then pull a Master's and ban anyone who can't be responsible.

What if alcohol sales eliminated the need to charge students
Jun 29, 2016, 10:47 PM

for tickets?
I would drink a few beers so a student can see the game for free! As an Alum it is the least that I could do!

I live up in CT now where the only football games I attend except for 1-2 Clemson games are pro games or Uconn home games. For the Uconn games drinking Is the primary reason folks go -- it sure ain't the team. They allow alcohol in stadium -- and it makes a ton of money for the school. You see drunks, yes, but you'd see them without it, everyone slams them back before entering--since the beers are $10/pop.
For us--it's different. Those days are special, those days are precious. Death Valley is a magical thing. A buzz is one thing but if you need to get bombed to have a good time in Death Valley--you may need professional help.

I'm a pretty open minded dude.. I love that we don't sell booze

Money doesn't need to drive everything.
Is anyone having a lesser experience bc alcohol is not being sold?
I'm no fear mongerer, but the consequences far outweigh the benefits.

they state much of the same reasons. I say leave your choices with you and don't impose them on others.

If they want to drink, then donate more and sit in the suites or boxes
Jun 30, 2016, 3:51 AM

That's what we do. Not really for the drinking but because we have some older/handicapped people that really benefit from being in the South Club and West Zone.

40 years ago, I'd have been in favor of alcohol sales
Jun 30, 2016, 6:52 AM

at DV....simply because every adult should have the right. Nowadays, I'm severely less inclined to allow said dispensing only to save whats so great about our games for the kids. They see enough drinking out in the lots and it only rarely gets out of hand. Undoubtedly, there'd be incidents in the stadium with the chickenlittles if alcohol was sold at concessions...and can you imagine what Williams-Bryce will be like for visiting Tiger fans when they start selling alcohol??
DV is an outstanding family experience. Keep halftime passes out to the tailgate areas and pass on inside sales.
I sound like my father...lol

balancing the rights of every adult to make their own choices with the rights of children not to have to be unnecessarily exposed to adult idiocy....like I said, the system we have now seems to work....keep the halftime passes to the parking lots....and pass on inside liquor sales.
There was a time many, many years ago when my season tix were in the North Stands that I could time my end of the first half exit from the stadium, my arrival at the Esso Club for a couple of quick drafts, and ultimately my departure from there and arrival back at my seat just as the kick-off was settling into the arms of the kick-returner.....:~)

I'm with you. I think it would detract significantly from the atmosphere in the stadium.

It would be counter-intuitive to the culture we've built. Sends a different message than the one we are giving on the recruiting trail. I'd love to be able to enjoy a COLD beer inside DV. BUT not at the expense of what Dabo has created.

Beer sales until half-time will kill the culture?
Jun 30, 2016, 8:47 AM
|
|
Yet the drink-fest going on with the massive tailgating outside the stadium before, during, and after the game doesn't harm the "culture" at all?
Com'on man....
Just be honest, you'd ban alcohol in the tail-gates too wouldn't you?
You'd swear it's the Taliban here with all this alcohol hating.

If you are referring to me, NO I would not ban alcohol outside at tailgate sites. Like I said I will usually have a couple of beers before the game but I don't get hammered. If you are going to drink that much why come to the game that you probably want remember.

I don't think it would be any different. I'm younger, I still like to have a good time and so do my friends. Yes we get drunk before the game and I'd say about 95% of the people my ageish that I know make liquor store stops on their way to Death Valley to grab mini bottles for the sole purpose of sneaking them into the game. Are we just deginerates? Maybe. But I'd be willing to bed that vast majority of fans 30 and under are pretty intoxicated and find ways to drink during the games already. If they sold frosty cold beers I'd be a customer.
Don't even mention the student sections I've seen full handles smuggled in. The colder it gets the more clothing, the more liquor gets past security.

If it was really some kind of moral stance they would ban
Jun 30, 2016, 10:45 AM

alcohol from campus entirely on game days. Everyone is already drinking outside. The real question is whether or not the university can profit from these sales by selling it within the stadium without getting too much of a black eye publicly. You can bet your ### D-Rad and company would like to do it. It's just a matter of when it becomes "acceptable" enough to pass it through.
