Selling beer at high school games- whats up with that

[Guest 1motime]

Yes it's true they were selling beer at Reliant Stadium for both games friday. I thought that was against UIL rules. :shock:

[KFDM COOP]

Not sure how the rules are with the UIL and games at Reliant. Good question.

[Guest Kelly Football]

Reliant can sell it if they want. The UIL is aware they sell it there.

[Tiger90]

I would say it was definitely in poor taste, but Reliant is not school property.

[WHFAN]

Its all about the money they could care less about it being high school football thats whats wrong with the pro level now MONEY a poor man cant enjoy a pro event anymore they cant afford to go. It wouldnt matter if it was a baby pagent they would sell beer

[Guest GoStangs]

So long as they weren't selling to underage people, I don't see the problem. Either they sold it and people bought it, or they had it for sale and people didn't buy it. Whatever the case, their ability to sell anything is contingent on what people will purchase at a high school football game. If adults decide they want to drink beer and watch high school football at Reliant Stadium, that's their call.

I agree with you 100%.

[SETXsports Broadcaster]

[Guest 1motime]

We don't have a problem putting fans in the stands in Nederland we have a problem getting tickets.

[Tiger90]

I will tell coach you want a cooler of beer and some women when you are in the pressbox. :wink:

Alcohol should never be sold at a high school game. However, Nederland, PNG, LaMarque, and Brenham surely knew that Reliant would sell beer. So, if this was to be prevented, the schools could have played the games in another stadium. This was the call of the schools involved. It's a risk schools should not take, IMO.

[NedDog]

I certainly cannot speak for everyone in attendance Friday night, but I know that I personally, did not have anyone drinking beer anywhere within viewing (or smelling) distance of where we sat for both games.

It was never sold at the ASTRODOME at high school games. And they sold beer!!!!!!!!!!!

[whsalum]

Some of the high school games I've been too I needed a beer.Just kidding not a place for it in the high school venue.However most of the kids these days are used to being around it.Probably offended the parents more than it affected the kids.

[PNG Proud]

I agree it's in poor taste (shoulda been Miller light instead of Bud hehe)[relax, just a pun]. Alcohol should be omitted from any High school event. Heck, you can't even smoke anywhere on school property, you gotta go outside the gate, and alcohol is worse, so the UIL should step in and negate any sales.

With that said, i never saw anyone w/ a beer either, so it wasn't much of a prob.

BTW, do these venues have any consience at all???

3 sm drinks, 1 popcorn & 1 nachos......$27!!!!! There oughta be a law against that.

[BigTuna]

If you don't want beer sold, then don't play at an NFL stadium. And besides that, if you don't want to drink it, don't. It's all about the atmosphere when you play at places like that, have a good time, beer or no beer.

[Razor]

I was told they stopped selling it a halftime of the Nederland game. I was under the impression that alcohol could not be served at any UIL event, regardless of the venue. Not a bad rule by any means.

Great statement Tuna. I like the way you think.

[Guest Jody]

The taps were suddenly pulled after 1/2 time and since it was Miller Lite, not a big deal to me. I think someone finally pulled the plug.

I wished it had been available for the PNG game, would have made it easier to watch that whipping.

[gringo]

I went to Rice/UH game Saturday at Rice stadium - no beer !

[BHFAN]

Jody and I supported the schools and drank beer It was kinda funny you should have seen the people around us when we came back with beer, I thought everyone was going to kill their selves trying to get up to the food stands

LOL BHFAN, that's funny right there, I don't care who you are, that's funny.
