Beer sales at JTS after all?

I’m sure someone (Jamie) has the math. I just have a hard time seeing how this would move the needle that much on a NET $ impact.
If Nebraska is "only" making $500,000 per game with 80k plus people, not sure how we move the needle that much. But any positive number is great for us.
I think we can drink more per capital though.....
 
And that $500k is just revenue, not profits.
OMG you're right. I thought that was profits. And here they were thinking 120K tall boys per game might be "not enough". When they are only selling about a 1/3 of that total per game.
But it is Nebr. They can't even tell when their stadium sells out so how are they supposed to understand numbers.
 
It’s the main reason we’re not doing it currently. Nebraska is making a whopping $125k a game from it.

We’re estimated to make $400-$500k per football season in profit.

Which is more than all of CF donates to the AD or WeWill combined. If they expect to beg fans to spend more, they damn well better take all the money they can generate themselves.
 
They anticipate losing money in ticket sales from the SEZ if they sell alcohol to the public.

No way they'd lose more in that (if any) than they make in profit via sales stadium-wide. SEZ still has temp control & mixed drinks/premium beverages as benefits.

I was at a wedding this past weekend with a cash bar that was charging $5/can for a can of Busch Light when I saw them carrying in a 24-pack that they probably bought for what $12-$15?
If the folks getting married can't pony up to pay for people's Busch light they sure as hell shouldn't be paying for a large wedding they likely can't afford.

Just relaying what I know.
No one knows, losing people in the Sukup area may happen or it may not. But until alcohol is allowed throughout the stadium, it's only what some people think may happen.
Other stadiums that sell alcohol to the general public, once they started did they see a drop in the private areas, and if so, how large of a drop?

The balance point for stadium-wide booze is 500 end zone club tickets.
It seems strange that schools like Iowa have no trouble selling the premium tickets while also serving alcohol to the poor, but ISU cannot. Again do other schools once they offer alcohol, see a drop in the premium ticket sales, because for many it's more than just alcohol to pay and sit there.

They’ve done the research. I’m not sure I didn’t ask.

Literally all of them? If we're in the only twilight zone where you can lose my selling $15 beers to a captive audience then I guess we just need to accept it, but it seems super unlucky.
Post the data if it's so obvious this is a huge money-maker for everyone who adds it.

Rutgers lost money their first couple of years on alcohol. I don’t think they were the only ones either I just remember that one specifically.

The data is nearly every other school in P5 doing it, except for a few that are held back for religious-related reasons.

Though it doesn't have to be a "huge money maker". Every little bit helps, we've been told
