This thread is great. 

Here I am, assuming college campuses have always banned alcohol and all these stories making clear alcohol had very little prohibition in the greater arc of history. Allowing sales now seems to be interpreted as a money grab more than anything else.  This may be true, but one can't escape the fact that whatever your stance on alcohol at college sports events, allowing it certainly does give back some lost personal liberties that were taken away previously.

I do think raising prices to discourage excessive consumption is a good idea if alcohol is sold in stadium, and I probably am OK with prohibiting a BYOB policy for similar reasons.  If people really want to get or stay loaded during a game, there is always the trusty flask that can easily escape security screening attention.
