***Jack Trice Stadium/Hilton Coliseum alcohol sales thread***

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.

You'd think they would've wanted the tax revenue for the past decade and tried to talk the executives into it... we haven't heard a peep about it from anyone in years. Shouldn't be taking as long as it has now.

I think you would be surprised on where Jamie actually stood on the issue. It was Wendy who didn’t want alcohol sales open to the masses.

Yeah, its funny people think Jamie the accountant was the one standing at the gates.

Apparently, there are some that don't see the clear meaning in this photo, so I will spell it out. None of the people in the endzone club need to leave the stadium in order to drink at their tailgates, yet it has a huge problem with people being in their seats when the second half starts that won't be solved by selling alcohol or prohibiting others from going out to their tailgates at halftime.

Yes, but they can drink in air conditioning, heat, out of the wind and rain and that is what they do. No one else has that option. That's why they can get premium donation levels for the privilege to sit in crappy seats.

Perhaps the only significant improvement in football concessions in recent years has been the "pick up and pay" stand that has food sitting in warmers on one end and checkout stations at the other end. They still seem to struggle with payments, but at least it is a reasonable design.

And they run the lines in a back-and-forth pattern that is parallel to the concourse traffic. Having dozens of lines blocking the flow of traffic on the concourses is just ridiculous.

This has always been a major part of the congestion and yes, it is ridiculous. Need roped off parallel lines at every concession, even the trailers.
