Fargodome officials consider adding seats/BEER for Bison games

You nailed it. They start selling beer, I think there is a high likelihood they cut back on tailgating time...I would bet they shave off an hour. No way I would want that trade. I wouldn't be drinking in the dome either way.

Yep , They already suggested that at one of the meetings. Iowa is looking at cutting back tailgate time also..

Yes, let's restrict things our customers want and then stand by and wonder why our business is down. HBR here we come!

1 hour won't hurt shit, open the taps.

Not surprising at all and makes sense when one starts thinking about the over all liability at play.

Give me tailgating time over beer in the Dome anytime and chalk me up as another that will not be buying a beer during a game. I really do not think this will be as big of a revenue generator as people think.

That's just dumb. We could allow overnight tailgating and hand out free jag bombs upon entrance and nothing would happen. Still to this date... nobody has ever died! The nanny state is quite impressive.

Actually, a friend of mine was tailgating/drinking a few years ago (2018 playoffs I think), tripped/slipped on ice in west lot, hit his head, went into coma and died a few days later.

For me, the potential negative secondary effects of selling beer/alcohol in the Dome during games outweigh whatever relatively small financial gain (assuming there will be one after all variables/constants etc. are in the equation) NDSU may receive.

And I’m no teetotaler by any means.

Iowa actually had a couple of students die from ETOH poisoning. They have police that check IDs at tailgate. They check IDs of people coming out of bars and just walking down the street. They have banned ETOH at frat parties. And a host of other rules.

Heres a thought. Not selling ETOH at a football game wont kill anyone either.

Then why have so many schools started allowing beer sales at college games? What makes Fargo so particularly dangerous relative to other locations?

A guy had his propane tank blow up a few years ago. Nobody was injured but if someone was standing in the wrong spot it could have killed someone. The dome already sells alcohol at basically every event, including the home show. Once every decade or so someone will die. Unfortunately accidents are just the cost if doing business IMO.

Heck I could get shit faced drunk and walk home because I'm not safe to drive... and slip on an icy sidewalk and die.

I won't buy a beer at the dome myself. I consume enough tailgating so I honestly don't care if we get it. The added revenue would be a bonus but I don't think it's going to be this pile of cash. To me I'm a grown ass man. I should should be able to buy a beer and risk death. Just my opinion.
