How about this: Have fun at the tailgate. Eat food, drink beer and have your liquor before kickoff. Do it again at half. But respect your fellow fans and your team and the visiting team and the school by going into the stadium to watch the game. Don't sully the field and the sport by thinking you gotta drink in the stadium. After all, if you wanna get drunk and watch a football game, why come to the game? Go to the pressbox. How is this even an issue?
While I agree with the fact that more people should be ACTUALLY IN THE STADIUM for kickoff and after half time,
I don't think that the game would be sullied by allowing alcohol in the stadium. I'm sure it has something to do more with crowd control in the stadium more than anything, But I think having someone bring me a nice cold brew while sitting in my seats would be rather welcome. Hell it would be fine even if I had to go get it. I doubt UM will ever spring to get an hard alcohol license to cover that kind of square footage (way too much $) but beer would be just fine with me. And just tell everyone up front, if you drink and turn into an ass we'll show you the exit gate.
