    Now we need to somehow make sure they get a Yuengling cart up on the concourse near 135.

    Repped. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time reading a sports article.

    I guess it is a sign of those times that I don't remember the event although I am pretty confident I wasn't there.

    I've never been in the stadium more than 30 seconds before kick off, how early to concessions open up?

    Yeah, kind of like a night on the Flats. Or a boozy hot afternoon at Mickey Rats on the Lake outside of Buffalo.

    these parts made me snort my Jack Daniels right through my nose.

    lol the natives were restless (as well as stoned and drunk)

    makes a great case study for every intern given the job of coordinating promotional events at a pro sports venue. when you determine the promotion is going down in flames, it won't look any prettier with bigger flames so think twice before dousing with gasoline.

    My favorite part of the article is where the Indians' front office responds to the disaster by saying that at future 10c beer nights the limit of beers per person would go down from 6 to 4. Wow. Talk about missing the point.

    No, YOU'RE missing the point. They were ensuring that they'd have 1/3 less trouble.

    Do I have to explain everything to you? :rolleyes:

    1 hour is standard - though some open a little earlier.

    Lowering the number of beers people could drink would only increase the trouble...

    Well, the way we've been playing, I think I'm going to need to buy about $40.00 worth of beer next Wednesday.

    Seattle is going to beat us like a red-headed step-child.

    Oh no, we'll rest our starters in Chicago so they'll be 100% for the Open Cup Final... gotta win that Trophy and give the Front Office an excuse to keep Tommy around. I mean, how else will United get a chance to play in Champion's League? The serious international competition that our front office takes more seriously than life or death.

    If I hadn't already decided not to come up for the match, I'd be the first over the rail, on a path straight for Soehn.

    I already requested off from both of my jobs, but I'm not going to waste money on gas, a ticket, beer, food, and assorted other expenses until Tommy is gone.

    Who knows, maybe they'll fire the bastard tomorrow (or after a loss in Chicago when he rests some starters for the Open Cup game...), and then name Benny the interim player-manager. He couldn't do any worse at this point. If that or something else should transpire before Wednesday, then I'll see you in Lot 8. If not, maybe next year.

    Everyone's all excited about the beer, but what about the hot dogs? These are the same hot dogs from 1996, correct?

    Are you talking about the color of the water they float in?

    Not to be a jerk or anything--but, is $2 beer really a good idea?

    Ignorance is bliss... (and the alcohol can probably kill off any deadly bacteria, at least we all hope so...)

    It just seems like going to a football match, and a kegger breaking out... I foresee a lot of flying beer...

    i don't see how $2 beer could possibly be a bad idea.but i doubt anything dangerous would come of it, though given the ineptitude of the concession staff at rfk the type of thing like in cleveland couldn't really happen at rfk. in fact the promotion could really benefit dcu--the inevitable rage that 1000s will get at the concession staff could translate into rage in the crowd that inspires our side on the field. from your perspective that could be bad :)

    i assume you haven't been to rfk but its simply impossible for anyone to actually move through the line fast enough to get enough beer to actually get drunk on. which is why everyone gets really drunk before the match.

    I can imagine RFK running out of beer and feeble attempts to use the bathrooms before the match end with urine flooding the concourses more than normal. I never recommend the hot dogs, but I would definitely stay away from them after that. That's not even Anacostia grade "water" that is being used for everything at that point.
