Not sure where you are getting this, but I am pretty sure I remember hearing JP on the radio talking about the possibility of benchmarking WVU's practice of selling alcohol.
WV will be the first Big 12 team to sell beer during a game

I always wondered why ISU and Hickory Park didn't have some kind of partnership to have food catered into basketball/football games. It would be easy for both parties and they could both make a killing off of it at a concession stand on both sides of JTS and Hilton.
I dont know why people on here think we cant handle alcohol in the stadium during the game. I have been to every ISU game at arrowhead and one Iowa game plus several bowl games that sell beer and i dont recall reading about how there was a riot in the stadium or kids getting beer dumped all over them or hearing about a 20 car pile-up with drunken cyclone fans being the cause.

Everyone is already drunk when they are in the stadium, plus people bring beer in. Why not charge for it so I can have a beer during the game?
I still think there would be a fair amount of people that leave to drink their own rather than spend money at the concessions. I think there would be less people that would leave though.
You guys are way off base. Drinking is evil and ISU will NOT promote it. Tsk. tsk.
On a completely unrelated note, I got an ISU Shot Glass for Christmas. Looks really nice next to my ISU Beer Mug and Bud Light banner from an ISU game.

Agree.
The vast majority of people buying beer at games are going to be people with no interest in getting loaded. The students will still drink their ***es off before games and sneak in booze and beers just like we always did. The people buying beers at the concessions stands are going to be older guys like me and my dad. We'll max out at about six beers between us and it will be watered down and over-priced. The idea of selling beer at JTS is so innocuous I'm shocked we're not already doing it.
Is there a lot of soda throwing? There would be the same amount of beer throwing.
Yeah, and i'd wager that what people think is all 'people who left the stadium' in empty seats is more likely to be just 'people who havent gotten through the restroom\concessions lines yet'. Some of those lines can be a disaster sometimes.
No, you would be ok with some flags, bumper stickers, etc....just don't drive by flipping the bird as you pass out tailgates and talk a lot of *****...as that won't work out too good with or without us serving beer. Come by and say "hey" during tailgates and we will treat you to a beer and welcome you to West B'God....

WVU could make $1.2M on football game beer sales - BusinessWeek
WVU was projected to make 500k to 1.2 million last year in beer sales. That is a giant chunk of change.
