beer sales

[mgfan]

Anyone have idea how much beer was sold? What percent of sales goes the the athletic department?

The sale of alcohol seemed to work great and there was a lot sold... at least in section 104

Huge lines most of the game on the alumni side. Couldn't imagine it being any better at that one location at least.

They could have sold a whole lot more had they been just a little efficient...

The lines on the alumni side were full the entire game. I talked to a lady at the beer concession, and I told her "they are going to have to sell beer at more concessions." She agreed and and said there was no way they could handle it as is. The beers couldn't even get cold.

Probably made more $ off H2O sales today

1st thing I did was grab a beer on the student side on my way to the alumni side. No one in line ( before kick off) it was cold and GREAT.

I love beer...but I had none in the stadium...wasn't gonna wait in 40+ deep line...

[James329]

I bought 8 beers today (for 2) and I'mi had a flask.

yes, the mark up on water is higher than beer. But that's true everywhere.

[meangreen15]

They got 6 beers and 6 waters out of me today

Glad to do my part

Didn't buy anything. Went twice to buy, but I wasn't and I will not miss a 1/2 quarter of play for beer or water.

They should do large ice tubs in the middle or the concourse as well, it would help with lines.

I ran to the beer line right at the end of the first half, got back to my seat with 5:30 left in the 3rd quarter.

If anything, lines like that are very telling of the demand that has been there all along.

Surely they'll do some tweaking to the process, because that's a LOT of potential revenue.

As for the alleged projectile issue, how long does it take to pour a widemouth aluminum bottle into a plastic cup? Weren't they already doing that with the "craft" beers since those come in glass bottles?

[Christopher Walker]

The demand is. certainly there.

NT needs to invest in the BottomsUp system pronto though; 25% more out of a keg and twice as efficient as normal concessions procedures.

As the manager of the pavillion, you can probably answer this. Isn't there some legal distinction between serving single serving containers and serving out of a common source? If so, I think that's why they're not selling it from the tap to begin with.

First game with beer...call it a trial run like when a restaurant....except they get to have a "soft" opening before the actual to iron out challenges....this was the "soft opening" for beer sales. Things will work themselves out.
