Fargodome officials consider adding seats/BEER for Bison games

Just to play devils advocate those who run the facility and event should have the ability to decide what they will and will not sell.

The tax payers own the facility and the college.

Your point?

The tax payers own the facility and the college.

Tax payers also own the streets and roads in which we drive on, so we should be able to drink while using them also?

At football games? Not that I know of. They have died from pregame parties, Fraternity parties etc etc etc. Universities have banned ETOH from all fraternity houses and have archaic rules for a dry campus and pregame tailgate where student could be involved. NDSU doesnt live in a vacuum. So when these event happen all schools take notice and at least have policies in place to lessen liability. There was big push about 5-7 years ago from schools admins to get a handle on ETOH.
I know that the University of Iowa had the police in there back pocket to the point that the police would let the university know when any fraternity members had any contact with law enforcement. Especially when ETOH was envolved.

All that is true and yet many universities have started selling beer at football games this decade. Anyone know if there is any evidence in those cases if that decision has lead to an increase in alcohol poisoning deaths?

A free country should allow people to drink beer on a public sidewalk and in a car as a passenger. Do you know what would happen if they did? Nothing.

Now there's consistent libertarian thinking!
I'll be interested to see the arguments against your claim.

You might try looking it up?

Why not the driver also? They are just as much a taxpayer/owner of the streets (and the Dome) as the passenger. No?

You can drink and drive as long as you're below .08. So it's legal to drive after drinking but illegal to drink in public or on a sidewalk. Good reasoning
