Just fucking open up the zone for 3 hours before the game and then close it 30 mins before the game starts, money made, problem solved

FREE PUB! For Fatter's twitter feed is always cool, man

I can't blame the fans on this one. It's capitalism at it's finest. When the football program generates a product worth watching live, then fewer people will be at the zone.

Serve Coors light only. Problem solved.
Also, hand out Full Blown Aids 2 for 1 coupons on the way in. -
Then sell beer in the ENTIRE stadium during the fucking game like every other place does.Houhusky said:Just fucking open up the zone for 3 hours before the game and then close it 30 mins before the game starts, money made, problem solved

I agree with you, but very few schools sell beer at games throughout the stadium.CheersWestDawg said:

Go ahead and get wasted before the game if you want.
Sober up for 3.5 hours while watching the game, then
go get wasted again after. Opening it up post game might
even generate more revenue. The whole administration has
lost the vision of what Husky football should be. By focusing
on all the peripheral entertainment which includes the Zone, they
have lost sight of the fact that a WINNING team will generate more
revenue that all this other shit put together. Win, and everything else follows. -
If this was the 1991 Huskies there would be no discussion. Win games and people stay.

I know. But like we talked about earlier at SODO Showgirls (sorry Mrs. Petersen) people are getting drunk in the parking lots, they're serving beer in the Zone, luxury suites, the Don James Center, Club Husky, and the "Off Leash Deck". I mean, Christ, the athletic dept. should quit fucking fooling themselves and just well beer everywhere. They just want to be able to say they don't serve alcohol except in certain areas without saying "except in certain areas". It's just another line of bullshit by the cocksuckers in charge.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

Ok, If you want to not sell it in the student section - fine. But they're tanked before the game anyways.
FMFYFE. -
Correct if I'm wrong, but the public sale of alcohol inside the stadium is a Pac-12 restriction, not a venue rule. No?
-
Close the stadium.
Abundance. -
I don't think people stay if they were winning. Have you seen the new husky fan?
It is about selfies, showing off a new pair of jeans and a North Face coat. Just watch the T&A screen during the time outs. It is a total joke.
If this team was 10-11 win team the same crew would be dying to get into the zone for a red hook.

They have learned well from the Mariners. No other organization can make a mockery of the sport like the Mariner's gameday experience.jecornel said:I don't think people stay if they were winning. Have you seen the new husky fan?

The number of schools selling beer throughout the stadium has exploded recently its over 30 now including Texas and Maryland.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a majority within a couple years. -
Everybody says so. And much like most things repeated over and over, it's not true.Nevadaduck said:Correct if I'm wrong, but the public sale of alcohol inside the stadium is a Pac-12 restriction, not a venue rule. No?

But notice that at Mariners games that you can still in theory watch the game while sitting in the beer garden ... and you can buy beer at your seat.SteveInShelton said:

It's only the Huskies that actively encourage you to not pay attention to the product ...
Closest thing that I can compare The Zone to is in Dallas there are bars where you can go during Stars/Mavs games that aren't tied into the ability to watch the game. Generally, they are heavily populated during intermissions/halftimes but not at all during those periods. Only if you need to finish a drink or pull a BRB, Blonde moment. -
They'd close it down if people stopped coming. If people want to be there, let them. I think it's a brilliant money grab, because when the game is no longer in doubt, instead of losing money from people leaving, they get to collect it at the zone.whuggy said:

If the school generates a winning team, then the zone will peter out organically. Closing the zone isn't going to generate a winning product, but the reverse is maybe true. -
Face it, The Zone is the house Sark built. So just rename it Sarkville and then the public outrage will lead to its closure. Problem solved.

Since someone already advocated closing the stadium, I say we should sell it to the Sounders. Sad to see such a nice stadium go to waste.
-
after a 10-11 win season I think a lot of the old crowd would come back and be hardcore. Fuck if this team would win the North a few times, the south sound would toss all their Oregon shit and 12 out for Washington.jecornel said:I don't think people stay if they were winning.

There'd still be selfies and that sort but there would also be a ton of beer drinking losers wanting to feel a part of something special as well.
That's the script.

Beer is too blue collar and proletarian. These are the same people who came up with Crazy Larry, animal cracker promotions, and a general Marinerization of a major college football program.CheersWestDawg said:

I haven't been to a game in HS since Notre Dame in 2005, but The Zone set up looks very similar to these faggy wine and cheese UW Alumni events I've seen in Tucson and Tempe. You have to pay $15 or $20 just to get past their stupid fake white picket fence, and that gets you a glass of wine or some microbrew, then the next one is probably $8.50. You're supposed to mingle and network with blue hairs and wannabe big shot faggots like Bill Fleenor. I hate networking and I hate people in general. That's why I have 7,300 posts on a board like this.
Seriously, I know you marketing morons read this when you aren't changing your tampons or primping your metrosexual hair. Sell beer in the stadium. It will work. Cut it off at the end of the third like the Seahawks do so you can pretend you did your part to prevent drunk driving. -
Who the fuck can afford to buy booze at the stadium in this economy? Fill one of these fuckers up with MD 20/20, Thunderbird, or if you're a big shot splurge on Wild Turkey, and you're ready to keep the glow from the tailgater going. After the game you're drunk enough to push a grandma in a wheelchair down the North steps at Autzen and not give a fuck

Yeah, the beer garden at Safeco is strategically placed right next to the bullpen and in view of the entire field. Well done on their part. People will buy tickets to the game and not even sit in their seats once.Tequilla said:

It's the State of Washington for Christs sake.
Sell marijuana in the stadium. Edibles. -
Just make the entire stadium the Zone. I do.

Places like that are for the loserist of the losers. Real drunks simply leave with 2 min left in the half and then shotgun a beer, grab a brat and refill the flask at the tailgater and make it in right at kickoff.
Fuckin rooks! Besides pig tailgater's and others like it gotta be 10 x better than that dreckzone. -
