You’re telling me an alcoholic is going to get alcohol even if a venue doesn’t sell it? Color me shocked.

How much would selling beer throughout the stadium hurt Sukup numbers? Right now those seats alone bring about $3million not counting required donation.
Not saying everyone would stop buying those seats but that is one of the main perks. You're not going to get those prices without major perks.
I think part of not selling to general tickets is protecting that revenue stream.

You're the one saying in veiled comments the revenue is not worth it
Climate controlled space is the seller there, not access to alcohol.
As it should be. Been to dozens of sporting venues around the country and have yet to find a place that matches ISU allowing such a relaxed reentry policy.
Most say you leave you cannot come back
I am sure some others exist, but most don't offer the ISU reentry policy
Surely some sit there primarily for the alcohol, it's not like everyone has the same wants. You could still save more premium options for the SEZ club though, craft beer, full bar, wine, etc. only in the SEZ.
I think you would lose a few, but being able to get out of the sun, cold or rain, better food options and easier access to the RR for many is as large of a factor as getting to purchase alcohol.
have you seen the stands down there when its 900F out???
One only needs to look at how many are inside nearly the whole game late in the season to see that's the real draw.
Alcohol is a perk, but climate control is a primary benefit .
Must just be lots of people in empty seat costumes when it's super hot or cold then...
Well yeah, who wouldn't get out of the weather if that option is available.
But once you go inside, you really can't "watch" the game but you are now basically in a bar.
It's an awesome setup and I've sat there a few times but I get my season tickets to watch the games and my seat views are way better than anything in the Sukup.
I think general sales would hurt things unless you could somehow make it even more premium that what it is.
No I’m not, and also I’m not talking revenue. I’m talking profit.
Fair enough,I think you can pull a nice 6 figure profit. Every little bit helps. Foolish to ignore it
I don’t disagree, I think Iowa State would probably clear a million in gross profit. There are just some people that think it’d be vastly more.
Where? Most people here seem to be pretty reasonable as far as what it will generate, I haven't seen anyone saying it would be the solution to everything.
