Ford sells a whole bunch of brand new really expensive F-150s and it isn’t just to the college educated. Many (most?) of these buyers have underfunded IRA or 401k accounts and therefore should not be buying brand new pickups. Or contributing their meager excess net worth to the Billionaire Boys. Yet they do just that.
If I drive in to the A ramp in downtown Minneapolis and board the light rail to US Bank vs TCF Bank stadiums respectively there is a distinct and immediately noticeable difference in the nature and behavior of the other riders. And don’t even get me started on Cheesehead weekend.
Just be glad you're not dealing with potheads........yet. Frustrating to deal with those who are drunk, stupid and high, regardless of which team they are cheering (well, trying to anyways) on.

I would choose to be around a pothead over a drunk. I see people get into drunken fights all the time. Pot just makes you buddies with everyone and is one of the least aggressive substances ever. I smoke from time to time and I'm proud to say I do. I certainly enjoy beer too.
Of course I prefer to not be around potheads or drunks. But casual users...

I should have made my statement more clear as I was referring to those who use both substances simultaneously and make the game day experience around them miserable. Many times, they get booted from the stadium. When that happens, hopefully, they’re not driving.

The difference between alcohol at tailgating and the game is who is providing the alcohol. That changes the liability situation significantly. Fargodome and NDSU officials are still somewhat liable by allowing people to bring their own alcohol and partake in their property at their event but actually providing it even on a cash sale basis increases their liability.
I have no idea how much either of these affect any decisions but they could be factors.

Bolded is a big point that I think goes overlooked in these discussions and probably plays a big part in the admin's decision to not sell beer at the Fargodome during football games… yet. Once that cat is out of the bag there's no getting it back in so I think it's plausible that beer sales during football games is their "ace in the hole" if attendance ever starts to suffer. If attendance continues to be strong that's where I think the line of thought comes into play that it isn't enough of a benefit in selling beer to be worth it.

Somebody please send the admin a copy of the embarrassing Bison fan in the cities, to help them decide against it. Just sayin so you know how I feel about it.
Re: Fargodome officials consider adding seats/BEER for Bison games
If you cant go 3 hours without drinking at a football game, you need to take a long look in a mirror and figure out where you went wrong in life.

If you have a problem with adults consuming alcohol at a sporting event...

I heard Dan Michael’s saying the Fargodome has a new sound system, and is quite an upgrade. Looking forward to hearing in “4D”.
