Yes. Until you reach 113 points. A completely unarbitrary number.
Not a joke: You can now buy beer at TCU Baseball games

Alcohol being served or not will not sway my decision to watch a TCU game. Indifferent.

I’ll start the betting right now if that happens.
How long until a few “over-served” frat boys get this idea from ‘Murica’s Finest?
“Up next on Sports Center we go to Fort Worth for some extra-curricular entertainment that took place just along the General Admission area....”

Baylor is Trash.
It would be the Dallas Area.

In the parking lot. I’d much rather have a couple pregame scorches out there.

By mid May it’s usually pretty hot.

A few thoughts:
- CDC told a donor group a year or so ago that he was, "...personally opposed to the sale of alcohol at University Athletics events." He was also a big fan of the tailgate scene and wanted to protect it.
- The gist of the data (as I heard it) from the recent survey showed that a majority of likely football game attendees were PRO ALCOHOL sales... However, the qualitative data shows that a fairly large number minority were mid-level or higher donors who want to retain their in/out priveledges. I know that at one time they considered allowing in/out ONLY for club seats and lux boxes, and denying for the rest of the attendance... Not sure where that landed.
- I wouldn't assume Donati made this happen specifically, but I would assume the removal of the contrarian's voice helped expedite the wave that was going to hit regardless.
- I understand the University believes we could likely generate at least $1 million in net revenue annually by selling at all sports. Read into that what you will about their desire to move towards this. If I understand it correctly, I think Sodexho will handle the vending/contracting and there will likely be contractual minimums but I may have heard that wrong.
- Opinion: This decision will ultimately be seen by fans just like the +4 decision... Done to make money, but wasn't in the best interest of the fans.

Also, I think it is hilarious they are doing this for the first time against DBU... Hilarious.
Finally: I call [ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ] on the "pilot program" crap. Serving beer at a baseball game with 2000 people is going to prepare you to do it in front of 45,000 people at AGC? Yea right. This is a CYA move.

I buy the pilot line - it’s both for CYA and for training/pilot for the on-campus vendor (Sodexo), not over-serving, checking IDs, etc.

I remember reading a Startelgram story about the 10 most infamous things to happen at a Ranger game. I don’t remember what the infamous event was, but it started with the following line: “On $1.00 beer night...”

When I think beer at a baseball game, I also cannot help but think of this Brockmire scene

Be sure that the visitors don’t try to sneak off and drink all of our beer away from their friends.
