Because people like to sip on a beer or two during a game.
My seats have been in the Zone Club and now All American Club the last 10 years and I don't ever buy a beer and I'm a beer drinker extraordinaire. I'm not interested in $9.50 a pop.


Same here. But that doesn't stop the vast majority I see walking down the isle with two beers in their hands

2 years ago Spencer Nealey was so drunk in the AAC that I was truly embarrassed for him. At the Alabama game 2 weeks ago a drunk threw up on me. As I said I'm a beer drinker but we don't handle our club facilities well.

I don't have season tickets to football or baseball, but I have have been in both multiple times (more in baseball) and never once had a problem with anyone.

I highly doubt people are being overserved in a club. They came in that way.

Tried reading through campus plan , but wow it is really long and boring. Anyone know the timeframe? Obviously it's a plan , so it may or may not happen (at least anytime soon). Biggest issue i see would be leaving after a game with basically only parking garages. That would be a cluster. I hope it does not happen in my lifetime because I am only focused on 7 weekends a year cause those are the 7 weekends I spend in College Staion each year - don't care about the other 45 weekends.
Leaving after football games isn't ever going to be a leisurely drive and I'm not sure any of the proposed changes west of Olsen would have an impact. As for basketball, yeah if you are trying to get out of those garages immediately after a game it might be worse than it is now. However I think the idea is that if they scatter some restaurants, bars, retail, etc around Reed Arena, you might be more compelled to stick around after a 2-hr basketball game and the peak of vehicular traffic exiting the area will decrease.

Also to be fair it already sucks trying to leave basketball games because there are basically only three ways traffic can flow out anyway. As long as the garages have exits on both sides I think the end result will probably be about the same.

Good God the infrastructure in this town can't support any of this

Woah.....I guess we could stand to look at that green grass for just so long.

Concrete it. Brick it (ugly bricks please). Pave it. Park it. Gig 'em.

Tailgating is the most enjoyable part of game day outside of a win. If they eliminated spots or started exorbitant charging for them we would drop season tickets in a heartbeat.

Get ready for $24 Chicken Wraps during BB games.

I guess they want local input with only a day or so notice.

Building a volleyball only arena is the dumbest thing ever!! A&M JUST finished spending lots of money renovating the volleyball facilities in Reed anyway over the last year. Also taking that parking lot away from Olsen just pisses me off. A&M seems to be doing alot of pissing people off here lately and they could not even give a *****
Really, the dumbest thing ever? If we want volleyball to become a great program it needs its own facility. All the elite programs have their own facility. A&M has plenty of money to build elite facilities in every sport even if they just renovated a current facility as a stop gap measure. If you want to lobby to build the facility elsewhere than that's okay but we need the facility.

They had all kinds of wine and drinks at Rice for the exhibition

People must really value alcohol to pay the prices they would need to pay at Reed Arena!

Or $20 really isn't that much in the grand scheme of things to increase enjoyment of the game.

Agreed. It takes quite a bit of alcohol to enjoy a billy kennedy coached basketball team...




Sorry, but you tee'd that right up.

I hope they complete the parking garages before they put any of the buildings up around Reed. Also I didn't see any development concerning covered tennis courts.

Parking garages are awesome. Can't see the traffic jam...
