If there was one thing you would wish for Miami University, what would it be and why?

I do not see that as unrealistic. If Bee Gee can sell beer at football games, we can certainly work something out--I know, make beer available for sale to season ticket holders only.

This could be a stroke of genius. Imagine $3 beers, available only to season ticket holders with vendors operating only in the season ticket area. I really think we could double or triple are season ticket sales with affordable beer available only in season ticket sections.

There are problems, but they could be overcome by some creative thinking. How about they place a punchcard like area on each season ticket, or send out tokens or separate punchcards with the tickets allowing the purchase of X number of beers(per game) for each season ticket holder. I see more problems with vendors, but with training, and a defined area perhaps that could work. I believe it would double our number of season tickets in a few years. Stir in a winning team and ---
