Is this your way of saying you don’t want alcohol sales in Kroger Stadium?

I wonder what the combined estimated revenue would be for UK if they sold it at all their sporting events? Worth the headaches?

Two different schools of thought. When I am at home, I enjoy a beer or two several times a week. But, personally, I find it sad and concerning that so much of this board is focused on chatting up availability of alcohol at a public athletic events that are supposed to be suitable for families. I can't tell you how many times drunk fans have negatively affected the environment at an athletic event for my family. We can always debate the morality or libertarian sides of it. But there is no debate that giving an opportunity to drink alcohol at games has contributed to traffic accidents and fatalities in the past, and will inevitably do so again. It is a public safety isssue first, and not a financial issue first. If someone just can't see that, you should spend a weekend working in an emergency room.

The people that are going to get drunk at the games are already doing so at the tailgates and sneaking it in. Just walk the stands to see all the "empties" after the game. Allowing people the ability to purchase a $10 beer isn't going to increase the number of drunks at the games. The drunks will be there regardless.
