JMU deemed their first year of beer sales very successful. They brought in 250k through 9 games and curbed the amount of binge drinking at the same time. I guess we don’t like free money to be passing this up:

"After a nine-game season, concessions grossed $250,000 off of alcohol sales . . ."
They had nine home games, and the 250k is gross. Sure, there are economies of scale there by simply adding it to existing concessions, so I'm sure they made a healthy profit. But everybody knows UM would be in the red after paying for all those required port-o-lets.
In all seriousness, the old saying that we don't have enough bathrooms is convenient, but has anyone conducted a study on our bathroom deficiency based on adjusted necessity from legal beer sales?
1. I would assume that most who would be buying beer are already drinking it on the slide, and thus are already contributing to existing bathroom traffic?
2. Further, would those who currently smuggle in five and slam them covertly (or shotgun them in the parking lot) instead maybe just purchase three inside and drink them openly?
3. Based on the answers to #1 and #2, are we ten terlets short, or 100, or do we maybe have enough already?
