Before we throw in with the ACC...

[Aftermath USA]

Is everyone aware that there is no beer sold at ACC events?

What is more important to you?

Drinking a beer while watching us take on Northeast powers URI and UMass in the new Big East

OR

Not being able to have a beer but watch us play UNC, Duke, Pitt, Cuse, etc.

 

[Aftermath USA]

It was a joke...or was it?

This is why the flask, tiny 50 mL bottles of booze, and camel pack were created my good sirs.

What about no beer against VA, BC, NC State, Miami, Vtech?

wait... when uconn plays some of their games at xl, beer won't be sold? or is this at the already acc schools

I am definitely one that likes to have a beer while watching a game but if having a beer means I have to watch UConn waste away in some crappy lower tier conference then I will gladly give up the beer to get UConn aligned with one of these power conferences that appear to be in the near future.
This is to me one of the most important times in the history of UConn. UConn over the last 20 years has positioned the school very nicely in the national scene. If we dont jump at any chance to get into either the ACC(1st choice) or the Big Ten then I think all that work will be for nothing. The alternative to leaving is sticking with the Big East and playing in a terrible conference.

I like beer at sporting events. Major loss for those of us who require a few beers to stop thinking about work for a while. I wish they would stop selling beer after halftime or something to that affect. Also, beer is a big revenue generator and since $ rules the day, I find it odd that some conferences/universities ban it. It is easy money.

 

[babysheep]

They don't sell alcohol at Gampel now (right? I've never seen anyone in the student section with a beer at least).

 

[SkyWalker2011]

Yeah, no beer at Gampel. No way in hell the students wouldn't take advantage of that.

 

[willie99]

that's not a problem

I'll be saving a lot of money by not going to MSG and having dinner in the city and buying expensive seats and $ 20 scotches

staying home and watching everything on TV will be a lot cheaper, including the scotch

but does that mean no beer at the HCC?(yes, it's still the HCC until they tear it down)

 

[babysheep]

Yeah, no beer at Gampel. No way in hell the students wouldn't take advantage of that.

But they serve it at Rentschler field and yes, students take full advantage

I've been to several ACC football venues and if you can't figure out a way to get your booze on before, during, or after the game then you just aren't trying. Granted it's not the same as sipping on an $8 bud light out of a solo cup I think you'll find it even more satisfying

Good news, maybe we will no longer have to watch people stream out of the Rent after last call.

Bad news, people will probably start entering at halftime instead of the second quarter so they can stay in the parking lot and drink.
