Marc Weiszer ($$) has a story up about alcohol sales at Georgia in the first year of the new policy. If you care, it was over $230,000 for the four sports that were allowed to serve alcohol at games. But for me, this was the highlight of the article:
… A noon tipoff against North Florida that drew 1,868 on Dec. 8 had just $8 in sales. That would mean one alcoholic drink was sold.
Beer at a women’s basketball nooner? Hardcore. If you are that person, and you read GTP, please step forward. You deserve to be properly honored for your effort. (Also, I’d like to ask why you stopped at only one.)
$8.

Amen. never understood the american obsession with Light ass beer? michelob ultra – wtf is that, beer flavored water?
King of beers, PBR, The Banquet beer (served in a long wheel base can of course) for mass produced are just fine without going « light ». marketing devils.
If creature comforts starts selling a light beer i know it is the sign of the apocalypse.
sorry, beer snob rant over.

I’m as much a beer snob as anyone and I tend to facet lower gravity craft for gameday. CC’s Classic City Lager should do you fine if light to you means carbs and possibly ABV. Lagunitas and Founders both have solid IPAs in this category. Enjoy.

Sounds like rookie decisions on which events at which they’re offered. Lady Dawgs noon tip sounds like something Michael Adams or McGarity would have chosen to skew the economic return data to kill alcohol sales. We’re the other events a Tuesday softball game or men’s tennis?

Vandy was serving beer at their (our?) stadium just months after the conference vote! We maybe the last (what is the count on teams that don’t serve beer at football games?)to make the move and it won’t matter administration will figure out a way to have some charity in charge of selling it that dispenses about 2 cases per game!

If I was somehow under extreme duress and forced to a Saturday, noon, womens basketball game that my child wasn’t participating in, then I would consume copious amounts of $8 per 16oz beer; quantities limited only by the length of the activity.
I’m not a basketball guy so yes. I would find intoxication as the primary relief valve.
