***Jack Trice Stadium/Hilton Coliseum alcohol sales thread***
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
Also the people clamoring for beer sales in the stadium will be the first to complain about the price of it.
I bring my kids to games - there are still going to be large swaths of empty seats to start the second half, because they in no way can handle the increased demand for bathrooms, concessions, and the ultimate time suck in Trice, which is the wattle bottle fill stations.
Lets be real, they could have Busch Light 16oz'ers for $3.50 and our fans would still complain that it's too expensive.
I went to a Dodgers game last year and the cheap on tap beer was $22. It’s probably going to be 15 bucks
You’re massively jumping to conclusions here.
You’re mistaking a preference for a need.
I’d rather have a walking taco than a hot dog. That doesn’t mean I can’t go the length of an Iowa State game without having a walking taco.
Could be as soon as next year if Rob Sand is elected.
I don't think we've ever waited at the new water fill stations - are you talking about the single-use drinking fountains, or the huge buckets that have like 10 'taps' dispensing water?
Also, as has been mentioned, there are zero or near-zero lines at many concessions during the game time. Yeah, sucks to miss some, but it's possible to get down & back to your seat only missing a play or 2 (plus they have the game on the TVs in the concessions).
Man begging for revenue has turned his nose up at high six figures annually for half a decade.
Can't make it up.
It would still have to get through the republican Iowa legislature and that isn't going to happen
Many of you make it sound like it's difficult to obtain weed/thc in Iowa.
The large bag of 20mg gummies in my freezer beg to differ.
It's not just a matter of can you obtain it, though. You shouldn't have to drive 2+ hours or use illegal websites to get it. And the additional tax revenue would sure be nice.
Agreed.
I think there are a lot of Republican legislators in favor of it that wouldn't back it previously out of fear of retribution from Reynolds. With a governor in the other party, they don't have that threat.
No, but I think republican legislators will come around when they realize the majority of their constituents are for legalization. Like someone else mentioned, they've been working under a governor that was adamant she would never sign any bill legalizing while she's in office for how long, now she's gone. That and eventually they'll want the tax revenue.
No. They aren't going to give a newly elected D a win, that they could save for when a R is back as Governor.
Well, hopefully we get to find out. Don't know anything about the Lahn guy, but maybe he's not as staunchly against it as Kim is & maybe they'll give him the win.
