Con: Fan behavior

Of course, everyone on game day should know their limits and drink responsibility and I know that’s a calling card for college kids. But sometimes, students, as well as alumni, may possibly overserve themselves. Shocking, I know.

Some people get drunk happy, some people get drunk sad, and some get drunk and disorderly.

With alcohol readily available during the game will result in more fights, profanity, and incontinence/vomiting. It happens every weekend at a bar near you and the stadium is no different.

Luckily, this should be a small percentage of fans and the security staff will be well-trained to handle these types of folks and will be able to escort them out of the establishment in a timely manner.
