Lots of booze immediately outside of DV, though.

In all seriousness though I really do not want booze soled at DV because then Clemson really has become sale outs because the only reason the school would do it is to make an extreme amount of profit. That if you can't go without a Beer or Alcohol for a few hours and would be dumb enough to pay for the $8 beer I don't know what to say for you. So now we would be giving them even more money and they would still go up on prices on tickets, parking and anything else they can think of.

You really think people haven't been drinking inside the stadium for years already? You've never seen the mini bottles littering the bathroom stalls? Lol

There are no discussions at Clemson about selling alcohol. He said generally school who do have an impudence to do - usually declining attendance - Clemson doesn’t have that issue. He also said they are very cognizant of and wish to keep the family-friendly atmosphere in the stands.

guilty ones who, early in the season might sneak out during half time to have a cool one, but I am ALWAYS back in my seat before the second half kick off. We are unique in that we are one of the few places that allow half time pass outs, and, I hope we continue to, BUT, what really really upsets me is the number of fans that go to their parking spaces at half time and do not return for the second half, or straggle in mid way through the half. The stadium should be a full starting the second half as it is at the end of the first quarter.

I hope pass outs NEVER end. It seems like it’s always 13 minutes and some change on the 3rd qtr clock, when I get back to my seat. Except for military appreciation day, I utilize the pass outs. I prefer my food and my beverage.

There’s lots of booze already. The rich people in the luxury seating have access to alcohol and the poors sneak it in.

Now there's an idea - rich people can pay a lot of money to have booze inside the Westzone, but poor people can get FREE booze on The Hill. And who says booze is never the answer to your problems?

I totally agree. If we start selling alcohol in DV IMO we will damage the The Clemson Family image and the values we stand for. I believe it will also have a negative impact on recruiting athletes to Clemson. I hope and pray it never happens. I think it would have a negative impact on the University and on the football program.

I've had a drunk Tarheel and a drunk Gamecock and a drunk Leprechaun fall a couple of rows into my seat through the years, so clearly there is booze in the stadium somewhere, even if it is already inside the fans.

BTW, I'm a bit irritated with the folks two rows back who keep selling their tickets to opposing fans.

The worst fans I’ve ever had around me were 2 coot fans in 2014 that bought from long time fan in front of me. Had a meeting with him and we agreed on a first refusal plan if we weren’t using our seats. Has prevented that situation since.

lead to more drunks inside the stadium, but i do hate the smell of spilled beer and drunk people tend to spill their beer everywhere and on everything.

No need for all of that. We’ve been doing fine without it all of these years. I love pounding beers with friends, but if you can’t go 3-4 hrs without a drink....... you have bigger problems than just not having a beer in hand come game time.

stadiums leads to less binge drinking before games. The 'drink it while you can' mentality is pretty common at tailgates when alcohol isn't sold inside the stadium.
I'm still not advocating for beer to be sold in DV, but there is a little more to this than drunks wanting to get more drunk.

Glad to hear about DRad's position. Plus if Clemson faculty is trying to reduce underage drinking on campus, selling alcohol at DV seems like something of a contradiction.

After reading stories about incidents in stadiums that sell alcohol inside their stadiums, I see huge liability issues they Clemson or individual fans may be exposed to. There is plenty of booze outside DV at tailgate parties so we sure don’t need it being sold inside DV.
