There Will Be Beer (at the Gophers' Home, TCF Bank Stadium)
By Jason McIntyre
So who is going to pay to sit in the expensive suites if there’s no alcohol in them? The answer was nobody. So here comes the alcohol!
"The University originally wanted to sell alcohol only in premium seats. However, in 2009 the state Legislature said that alcohol should be sold either throughout the entire stadium or not at all. The University opted for an alcohol-free policy and suffered large revenue losses from the lack of alcohol in premium seats, athletics director Joel Maturi said."
So the stadium will have a beer garden, where the schools thinks alcohol can be managed. Good luck with that.
The last time we wrote about a Minnesota football game and alcohol … oh yeah, that’s right! A lady got so hammered pregamming, she left her seat (next to her husband), went in the bathroom, and banged some random dude. [Minnesota Daily]
