Michigan State Football: 3 pros and cons to alcohol sales at athletic events
Con: Bathroom/concession lines
I hope Spartan Stadium has its plumbing updated because the availability of everyone’s favorite diuretic means the troughs and stalls will be in use constantly.
By the time you wait in line, use the bathroom, and get back to your seat, you’ll probably have to go again. So, you’ll spend 20 minutes in line getting a drink, enjoy 15 minutes of the game, stand in the bathroom line for 20 minutes, go and walk back to your seat. That’s 75 percent of your hour not watching football and even less if you’re wanting a nice drunk hotdog/Melting Moments ice cream sandwich mid-game.
Not having fans in the stands because of concession and bathroom needs would potentially affect the crowd noise and flow of the game.
