Interesting Solution to a shared "problem"

I found this article to be interesting based on feedback that many people post on Egriz about not being happy with the empty seats in the 3rd quarter start. I personally dont think its an issue but UW has a unique solution that could easily be applied to Montana games.

If we were to do this i think you would have to open up 2 open to public halftime tailgate areas instead of just one like we currently have. The 2nd would need to be on the opposite side of the stadium. I personally like the idea..more beers to be distributed at half....half the wait time and everyone would get some beers in their bellies faster and back into the seats.

People that put a premium on drinking at halftime in the beer gardens I would think wouldnt have a huge issue paying maybe an additional 50$ for a yearly halftime beer garden pass.

I still say the remedy to all of the beer issues is to sale beer in the stadium!

I don't disagree, but you know that opens up an entire different and lengthy debate. In my opinion it's disappointing that this happens. Such a great venue, great fanbase (generally), and nobody in after halftime. I don't understand that thought process. I get it if it's 47-3, but not 17-13.

And the littered plastic cups and smell of spilled alcohol...

Better to have a beer garden or some kind to keep it in one area?

Obviously that is the main issue to keep ppl in the stadium, but, the other huge issue is that there is not enough room for 25,000 ppl to roam one skinny concourse and a woeful lack of bathrooms. I know there are more bathrooms in the new Champions Center, but nowhere near enough to service 25,000 ppl. It would be complete gridlock if they didn't allow re-entry.

This! Kent State started this. Although their attendance is always atrocious, there was a noticeable difference in attendance at the end of the game between before selling and after selling beer in the stadium.

No beer in the stadium. Beer is cheap swill for people who do not know liquor. The answer is simple: just bring in a small flask with some real hootch in it. Disguise it as a Coke bottle or whatever. Beer drinkers are low, obnoxious bastards who have to piss every five minutes and who smell bad. No one wants to sit next to them, especially in a packed stadium that is either cold and loud or hot and loud. There would be an endless parade of fat, wobbly jackasses forcing their way down the aisles in front of you. Sometimes two of the unstable cretins would have to pass each other right in front of you. One of the dingbats would fall over on a small child or on your wife and fights would break out. In addition, most are old fools with bad prostates which means they would not make it to the rest room on time. The smell of piss, blood, beer and sweat would fill the stadium and everyone would go home out of disgust leaving the place empty in the fourth quarter instead of for the first half of the third quarter. In addition, they are weak minded sorts who are so afraid of being un-cool that they feel constrained to pretend they actually like the bilge to win favor with other morons. Do not encourage this practice.

Selling alcohol in the stadium I would assume would open up all sorts of legal issues since a huge portion of the attendance is minors.

Maybe it wouldn't be an issues?

I feel you are partially correct; however, you really ought to differentiate the rather large difference between true beer drinkers, that is, those who consume a few bottles of Copper Johns Scotch Ale or a couple of cans of Cold Smoke a day versus those who do in fact drink pony piss light beers of any kind. Those individuals you describe drink light beer and they don't like beer. They just like to piss. And they are annoying as hell.
