hhcmatt Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Sam Mckewon drew the short straw and took notes on the new AD on Sports Nightly. “We’ve had a great history and tradition relative to the things that we do in and around our games,” Eichorst said. “And I think that those things are working well. I don’t think our histories and traditions lends ourselves to heading in that direction. And I’d like to reinforce that those sort of conversations aren’t happening over in the Osborne building. But I understand the relevance and intrigue.” - Eichorst If he's calling it the "Osborne building", then that's probably a giant indicator that alcohol sales won't happen there. While you can probably never say never, you can rest easy for the time being if you're used to giving our neighbors to the east crap for the same thing.

He has only been on the job for a month and a half. Give it some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#GATA Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 They are not smart if they do not allow the selling of alcohol. A lot of money will be brought in if they allow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uneblinstu Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 It'll happen eventually, I think, but we might have to wait a while. It's not as simple as Eichorst just saying go for it. Lots more people have to give their approval before it happens. It'll take a while before the culture shift happens and will probably need a bit of a culture shift in the board of regents. If you want to make it happen faster, convince them it's important the next time they come up for election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb5856 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 So as of now alcohol will be sold during concerts but not at university events, correct? So if I'm right about this, and I think I am, because you can't have a concert without beer, then alcohol stations will be in the building. If they're already in the building then do the smart things and just open them up and sell during basketball games. It makes zero sense not to. If they're worried about people getting crazy then sell during the first half only. Usually the $9 price alone is enough to prevent people from going absolutely nuts. You're not going to prevent the college kids from attending the games drunk so let's allow those over 21 to enjoy the games responsibly. You're already going to have more people getting to the games buzzed in the new arena just because of everything going on in the area and the increased access to dinner and a beer or five before the games.

If he's referring to the AD offices as the Osborne Buildings then that's still an indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has only been on the job for a month and a half. Give it some time. He seems like a guy who doesn't just jump into things. If it does happen, I would assume it would be when he feels the time is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concrete Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I wouldn't put too much stock into what is said on radio shows. TO was very adamant about not selling booze at UNL events, so Eichorst going on a radio show just over a month into his tenure and going completely against what TO did could lead to some bad feelings, regardless of the popularity of the decision to sell booze. We still have 7 months until the arena and 9 until the first Nebraska basketball game, let's see how this plays out over the summer. Even if booze isn't sold in year 1, I'd venture to guess it will be in year 2 or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49r Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I can't believe this is as much of a bone of contention as it is.

cipsucks Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I don't think it's that big of deal. There's been alcohol at every game I've been to at the BDSC...... Jadler and George Beadle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
