You guys are wrong. This is a good idea. It will help their fans come down from all the glue they have sniffed before the game.

The university also announced yesterday that limits on bags carried into the stadium will be stricter this fall, starting with the Buckeye Country Superfest, scheduled for June 18-19.
Because Ohio state not only wants their fan's to drive drunk to the stadium, but from the stadium as well.
I love drinking and I love college sports but I don't think putting them together is such a good idea. I always thought one of the only admirable things the NCAA did was to leave that money on the table. It's one of the last remaining differences between college sports and the pros.
I'm fine with booze being sold at games, even though I never have any myself before or during. I have a bladder the size of a mouse and I don't want to miss 1/2 the game waiting in line to use the bathroom.
Drugs > alcohol.
We'll let you know when Mile High Stadium opens up their weed concessions.
Just go out to the ramps during halftime and you can get a nice contact buzz

I have double posted so much the past few days. Maybe I'll just comment on the app from now on and that's it.
If it wasn't bad enough for opposing fans going to the Toilet Bowl, now they sell beer.
Umm, yeah this should end well...
Maybe they'll make it easy, similar to the bar in Columbus that sells a bucket so you fill right out the vat.
Not true.
It was largely a conference by conference thing for years and the B10 banned beer in the 70's ...U of Colorado did it in 1997 or so and caused a total uproar. Now they sell beer but only in the luxury suites area.
It's not in the luxury boxes, there is a beer garden area in the stadium. Not that it ever mattered much, the stadium is right across the street from some of the dorms and you're allowed to leave and come back in. It happens all game long.
Has everyone seen this undercover video commissioned by the OSU President to document the pregame debauchery that is Columbus...?

Where else would you ever find 75,000 drunk truck drivers on a Saturday afternoon?
#Ufer
So they're going to ruin this for everyone else.......
Next up, night game in East Lansing.
How will they sort out liability, i.e., did a drunk driver who kills someone get drunk at the horseshoe or elsewhere, but maybe a university is immune from suits of that kind.
Yet there are few environments in sports with such a documented history of fans being rude, confrontational, and generally awful to all involved like OSU fans at the Horseshoe. You're already the Vet of college sports, and you're about to put bars in every corner of the stadium. Great plan. Everybody bring your D-cell batteries.
The key difference here is that the Cleveland Browns are horrible so their fans are basically apathetic/expecting to lose.
OSU fans have a lot of pride (rightfully so), that they are already more predisposed to mix with violence than any other Big Ten fanbase and now we're adding more alcohol to that mix.
You realize your school has had to implement a program to clean up fan behavior, right? That's how bad it is.

you post like a decent fella, but be honest, your fan base on the whole is one of the finest modern exhibitions of neanderthal man + booze in existence. you make raider fans look like model citizens. are there some michigan fans like that, sure, but a far, far smaller percentage. you are going to need batallions of riot police when michigan comes to town in november. it will not be pretty.
and fwiw, i'm not flaunting anything - i'm just saying that the addition of legal booze to a party of 100K already reeling hooligan buckeyes is going to be a nightmare. maybe i haven't paid attention to SEC schools, i never did play at one, but i have never heard or seen of the stuff that goes on at ohio on a such a predictable basis/rate.
I think this is up there with "I could have used a condom, but then I thought, when's the next time I'll be in Haiti?"
