[NU Sports] Alcohol

[Marilyn J Zilka]

Alcohol is served up in the Stadium Club at Ryan -- they are allowed to give it away, not sell it.

I was surprised that beer was sold at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse -- it is right on campus

Lots of talk this afternoon on Minnesota sports-talk KFAN, a lot of it seemingly based on this from WCCO:

Most callers seemed horrified that they couldn't drink at TCF Bank stadium, the Williams Arena or the ice hockey venue.  It sounded like liquor had been available to club and premium level fans at these other two venues.  It was going to be available for club and premium football as well, but was banned instead at all 3.  Some questions:

- Do we serve alcohol at any of the premium seating at Dyche ?

- I always thought Big Ten rules prohibited alcohol at on-campus venues.  Is that still true ?

- I can't remember alcohol sales at any of our opponents stadiums (on campus).  Beer was always availiable at the Metrodome, as I recall.  The only campus stadium I remember with beer was the stadium at Cincinnati (Nippert ?). 

- I know that even if the Big Ten allowed it, Evanston never would.  So what led Minnesota to think they could serve alcohol ?

- And is Lou Nanne implying that you can't do client business without alcohol ?  And if so, isn't that more of an indictment of his business skills ?
