Would you be in favor of alcohol sales at Michigan Stadium?

What if the alcohol sales allowed us to pony up more NIL money and grab a fair share of 5*'s?

All that needs to be said.  Take a look at the "ambiance" at Ford Field if you're tired of a dry stadium.

You wouldn't be around more drunks...you might be around more people who are drinking (obviously), but it slows binge drinking.

No kid is going to a stadium and getting hammered off of $10 Bud Lights.

However, plenty of kids will forgo shotgunning 3 consecutive beers just before kick if they know they can get a couple beers in the stadium.

NFL crowds are different altogether. There isn't a college stadium in the country that is as bad as most NFL stadiums.

I've been all over the B1G, SEC, ACC, I've been to WVU where they get crazy drunk. I've been to UCF where these idiots drink like crazy and pass out in an aluminum bowl under direct sunlight. 

Nothing compares to half the NFL stadiums I've been to.

That's my gut reaction too, as my local NFL stadium is a drunken shitshow every fall Sunday but I also wonder if the environment would be different at colleges. To try to say it delicately, I find that the demographic make ups of Michigan games differ quite a bit from my NFL team. Little more 'blue collar', little more 'guys who drink cases of natty light after work every day' at the NFL games. There are a ton of alcoholics and closet alcoholics at those games

To each their own, but I would vote no sales at the stadium. (Full disclosure, I do drink beer and have an occasional shot of vodka or a mixed manly fruity drink.) Sorry to be a stick in the mud.

I would think the university automatically becomes liable for everyone in the stadium, including those who don't drink, (Yes there are people who don't drink.) even if they did not buy beer at the stadium.

I think the university banned people from bringing beer/alcohol into the stadium 25 - 30 years ago, and survived. Even though the university would be selling the beer, public perception and laws have changed from the last time beer/alcohol were allowed in the stadium. (I know, technically, you would not be allowed to BYOB.)

Walking up and down the stairs, let alone up the seats at the end of the game, and the concourse, could be a challenge.

The stadium medical staff and room, and security/police would be over worked.

Driving home may become more difficult/slower for everyone. (Being drunk or sleepy while driving.) You may say sleep it off, but you know that won't happen.

Driving will be worse after night games or when the weather is snowing/sleeting.

Ultimately a liver

I know stadium booze is expensive, but holy moly that is the worst I've ever seen

The $1 Sam Adams Oktoberfest I'm drinking suddenly just started tasting much better.

I was at a Lakers game earlier this year and was horrified at the prices for everything. But they weren’t quite that bad. 

Almost as much as a beer at JFK.

It might.
are you factoring in that every beer sale will likely result in a non pop/water/pretzel sale?
People who buy from the concessions don't necessarily have an unlimited budget.  
They will perhaps spend a bit more to include a couple beers instead, but it won't all be extra income.

In stadium sales tend to put a lid on the pre-game drinking as you don't need to slam a sixer to keep a buzz on all game long.

Season ticket holder in 1981, and we always got a bottle of something at the party store that was on Main just north of Stadium. Don't remember the store name, but the income from a football Saturday could have probably paid a semester's tuition.

Most people were OK, although there were always drunken assholes. (They were usually assholes when they were cold sober too, I'm guessing.) The only negative memory of stadium drinking I have is the pretty little blonde who had one sloe gin too many and barfed on my foot. The pink stains never came out of my Nikes.

How do u turn Happy Valley into Crappy Valley? Add alcohol 

Did you see that AD survey a year or two ago literally making every question a choice between X and advertising in the stadium?

I don’t recall if it mentioned selling alcohol but it was basically like, “would you rather get worse recruits due to a smaller recruiting budget or sell advertising in the stadium?” 

so you ain’t far off at all. 

I'll have one ""Mazi Stout" and one "JJ Amber".

That will be $300 sir.
