Anybody who knows me knows I enjoy my wine. I drink beer on game days, and Mrs. Basket Case and I have a ceremonial Jack and Coke before heading to the stadium. But that's where it stops, at least until after the game.
I had a similar experience to Toddrn at that 2007 Florida State game, and saw a couple of fights in the stands, between Alabama fans. Plus, as also cited above, people were forever getting up to get another beer, or visit the restroom....it was really annoying. Then there's the lowered inhibitions and screaming profanity, regardless of whether there are kids in earshot.
It just further erodes the gameday experience, and I have no desire for BDS to evolve into Tiger Stadium (Baton Rouge) North.
Yeah, I know....people smuggle booze in. Shoot, when I was a student, I did as well. But all it takes is one drunk fool to ruin the experience for a couple hundred people, and making alcohol easily accessible in the stadium is begging for trouble.
I enjoy my adult beverages. I just don't want it easily available in the stadium.
