2nd beer survey?
- Thread starter Herdon2
- Start date
I believe the thought behind tying the two together is that no re-entry will mean more beer sales.
Correct. wvu did the same thing. If you're going through the hassle of selling beer you don't want competition with beer from outside.
It's also a way to "regulate" it.
If you do not allow reentry, once you come in, the only way to consume alcohol is to pay $7+ for a beer. It takes away a lot of the binge drinking.
If you allow reentry, you'll have people getting drunk before the game, drinking a few during the first half, leaving at halftime to slam as many as they can, come back in and drink a few more before the end of the third (which is when they'll stop selling).

That makes sense. Beer for all and no reentry. Works for me. I'm hoping this goes through. Would love to see beer sales at basketball games too.
Most people don't get trashed for bball and don't tailgate for it so it would be nothing but a money maker. Smaller amount of money made but still would make money.
Also I hope they get the system like Akron has where it fills the cup from the bottom. Nice system.

wasn't the first survey supposed to be for BG members only? it was linked on social media and available for anybody that had the ability to click a mouse.
perhaps this one is trying to be more accurate?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Sell that beer. Why not be a really progressive university and have some pot vendors. Maybe a prostitution party deck in the end zone.
But the most accurate would be getting a larger sample. Not a smaller sample size. The more ticket holders and fans who can vote will be the most accurate to who wants the beer to be sold. To me, letting just the BG donors vote, which is roughly 3000, is not accurate.
Seriously, can you make this happen?
i agree
i was pointing out that people with no connection to MU had the ability to vote and could potentially sway the vote one way or the other without the intentions of ever attending a game.
If they go to no pass outs, I am fine with that, but we just have to create more under-stand space. It is very crowded as it is now.
It seems beer is coming, probably as soon as this year. I hope we include basketball in that as well. Don't know enough about soccer to have an opinion.
(If the city of Charleston's rainbow mafia can be bothered to actually staff the concessions for baseball, they sell beer, and nobody seems to have been damaged beyond repair. )

I voted NO beer sales and re-entry to the stadium. While I wouldn't mind beer sales in football games, I'd rather they be during hoops games. I don't like the idea of not being able to walk out to our car during halftime of football games and not be able to come back.
Honestly I do t care either way really but if I had to choose one way or the other like the poll made me do I chose how it is now.

Have to be Big Green member. If you are and didn't get it then email them. I had to because some emails didn't get transferred with the new software.
Someone needs to show this person how to properly handle a cup of beer, might as well just stick her fingers in the cup! Yuck.
"Man, I'd much rather be locked in the Joan during halftime, standing in line for 20 minutes just so I can pay $7 for a flat 12oz Bud Light, when all the craft beer locked away at my tailgate is only a few hundred yards away." -No One, Ever
So a school with one of the lowest Athletic budgets in the country and is trying to find ways to make more money and provide a better product on the field with that extra money and you people still bitch and say the school is stealing your money.
The backward mindset of WVians is amazing

Yeah I cringed watching her, very unsanitary. Worse than sliced lemon in your tea or water, no thank you.
First off who verified the 7.00 per beer price? Secondly, yes I'd rather pay 7.00 a beer and be locked in at halftime because I drove 9 hours to see the team play and having the parking lot yocals walk past me and block my view at the end of the 3rd quarter is VERY annoying.
If it's anything around 8.00 per beer that's what most stadiums charge. If it's as low as 6.00 per beer it's a steal, 7 is a bargain.
If it's for raising money for Marshall I am FOR it. I do hope hambone takes the visitors side and puts up a nice fence that allows us to ramble all the way to the new IAF and puts in a few picnic tables. That would give plenty of room for all.

Greenhouse it's clear not many people in this thread have ventured outside of the borders of WV to go to a sporting event. They need to catch up to the times of 2016.
I already pay the crazy prices for all of the other vendor stuff. Sure as hell ain't paying $7 for a stupid beer.
Good....I don't live my life caring if other people give a s#$% or not.
MU, and every other football playing college, has already sanctioned fans getting intoxicated on school property then driving away after games with the assistance of the state, county, and city police. Might as well profit from this practice, that's the American way.
ESPN has a school from wv playing a school in Texas and a school that is 45 minutes from wv that used to be its biggest rival doesn't play them, and you want to complain about beer sales by Marshall trying to stay competitive ?
Blame the NCAA, they have turned their heads whilst the money has rolled in and college football has been prostituted. Our backs are against the wall fiscally due to the very people that control the sport. That isn't the American way, that's corruption.
This fan base is really sad sometimes.
This comes down to money. We already have two strikes against us. First, unfortunately the TV contract came up at a bad time, so, until the rest of the G5 deals come around for renewal, we are getting less $$ than others. Second, because of the nature of our stadium's footprint, substantial parking money goes to others, where most schools have virtually 100% of their parking.
OK, we are going to sell beer.
Don't like beer? Don't buy any.
Don't like being around beer? There will certainly be a "family" section for you and your six cohorts. Enjoy.
Don't like the family section? Bye.
OK, you cannot leave the stadium at halftime. Same as WVU and same as 75% of other schools.
Watch the band, go to the Big Green Room, or go under the stands and do whatever.
Don't like that? Bye.

The thing I like about Marshall is the accessibility. I've come to grips with the fact that the upward mobility they sold me on back in the 90's didn't and is never going to pan out. The primary competition that is college football is never going to swing through Huntington, and I'm never going to see two ranked teams play in the Joan.
Marshall's main selling point now is that it's college football with a hometown feel, it close, its easy, its no hassle. But then MU decides to continue with the facade, and they start acting as if we're a big time program. My season tickets jumped from $165 to $310, so I quit buying them. They mandated a BG donation to watch practice, I quit going. They turned the in-stadium experience into an obnoxious ad-fest. They took away the game stats and run Instagram on the scoreboard instead.
At halftime, I like to go to my car; I'm not in Morgantown, my car isn't a half mile away, I'm in a stadium with 17,000 people and my ride is across the street. The rub with beer sales is now I can't do that, and for what? A small uptick in revenue for a program that gets the majority of its revenue from institutional funding?
I hate to burst anybody's bubble, but here's the truth: after watching the last 20 years of college football, I'm convinced someone could T. Boone Pickens all over Marshall, and we'd still be playing North Texas on saturday for a chance to play Northern Illinois in the bowl game.
