OT: Map of college stadiums that sell alcohol
FYI. I came across this earlier today and found it interesting. Personally, I was very pleased to see that not a single Michigan school was on this map. I know others may disagree, but I like that the school doesn't enable the fans to get themselves into an inebriated frenzy while at a school function (a family oriented tradition for most). I live in Ohio at the moment and often see billboards for domestic beer (Coors?) with the OSU logo. True mark of an institute of higher education.

Damn straight.

I really enjoyed my beer at Maryland during one of our first away games there. (Hurricane)
The hurricanee game was too freaking cold and wet to enjoy a beer and the concession lines, although only about 4 people deep took the entire halftime to be waited on. Maryland has the worst service staff I have come across at B1G stadiums. They couldn't make change and there wasn't enough staff to help the guy at the register who had to do everything himself (and he wasn't very capable to begin with).

Did Ohio pass a state law requiring beer sales at all college football stadiums? It dominates that map.
I thought Dooley's gave us Dime Beer Night.

It sure is a huge part of game day. This is why I don't mind at all that the Stadium doesn't sell beer. I need the 3 1/2 - 4 hour game to sober up from the tailgate.
And if a walk down AAGO or Pioneer isn't enough, take a stroll down State St. between South U and Yost

You know you can do that regardless of whether the stadium sells alcohol or not right? At the prices they sell drinks at, not many people are going to get more wasted than they already were anyway.
I don't know if I could have gotten through the 2013 and 2014 seasons without booze
PITCH THE BALL TO BREASTON!!! DAMMIT!!!

I certainly hope for the rutgers fan they do allow it. Anything to make the beatdowns more palatable for him.

That's what he has the hottub for.

I like getting my drink on as much as the next guy, but having three young kids who I've taken to Michigan games, I'm glad they don't serve beer in the stadium. I remember going to a Michigan-Purdue Game at Purdue with my Purdue alum grandfather when I was 10. I hadn't been around drunk people before and I was scared of the Michigan fans. My grandfather said the Michigan fans were the worst when it came to alcohol.

Your Purdue alum grandfather can be excused for not having met any Ohio State fans.

great, a bunch of inbred cooler-stool-champions who make raider fans look like seminary students. i bet they throw batteries at kindergarten kids once they get the properly lubricated.

allegedly they started it in 2016. they sold over $1MM of beer in 7 home games. that's about $150K/beer for every game. have been to lots of games with bad fans in pro stadiums, raiders being exhibit 1, and can tell you that unruly fans get worse with alcohol added. ohio has bad fans. if they sold beer at sparty games i can easily see brawls breaking out, and probably not just with us michigan fans.

...Hotel on campus during a home game vs. Indiana while visiting for the architecture department. It was like spring break in Panama City, only everyone was a red faced fifty year old/overweight white dude.

NFL fans are qualitatively different. It's a different game; a different demographic altogether. But I will need to be careful, because the atmosphere of NFL games makes me want to never go. I am so turned off by the NFL that I don't even have a knowledge base anymore. I'll just have to trust what you say about NFL games and their fans.
I don't want the NFL to be a model of anything, for college football.

we actually don't mind some buckeyes here, as long as they aren't passive-aggressive types like you are being. try being yourself, a buckeye, but in a gracious way. you will enjoy yourself more here and not (usually) be called out.
as to your post, the difference with the ones you named is what? that's right, they all went to michigan. i won't elaborate on the why, but suffice it to say they are legends and winners precisely because they came to our school.
inbred, obnoxious, classless, moronic cooler-poopers. Not Ohioans in general.
I've said it before on this pages. And the reaction then is what you are getting now.
I never understood it; the blog-presumption that we could say that everybody in Ohio was a brain-damged loser... except for [long, long list].
Updating the list of non-cooler-pooping Ohioans (after Branch Rickey, Bo Schembechler, Gary Moeller, Jerry Hanlon, Jack Harbaugh, Benny Freidman, Bob Chappuis, Jim Mandich, Rob Lytle and Gary Grant), we'd have Caris Levert and Trey Burke, as well as current Ohioans Zavier Simpson, Jon Teske, Jaaron Simmons, Shea Patterson, Noah Furbush, James Hudson, Tyree Kinnel, Will Hart, Brad Robbins, Camaron Cheeseman, Nolan Ulizio, Jake McCurry, Adam Shibley, and of course Greg Robinson (not that Greg Robinson who is from California).

I know the one article is dated but I went to two EMU b-ball games this year and they were selling beer.
