In Athens, Georgia, there was a club called O'Malley's back in the 80s. They used to have Nickel Night for house draft and liquor. You talking about a bunch of drunk college-aged students. The police used to just wait down the road and see what fools were going to catch a DUI.

Lawrence, where University of Kansas is, has a BYOB strip club called The Outhouse. It can be quite the adventure.

The one thing Arthur Blank did with the Falcons that we can all get behind is his insistence on cheap/inexpensive food/bev at Mercedes Benz stadium

  • Chili cheese dog - $5
  • Regular hot dog - $2
  • Soda - $2 (souvenir - $4)
  • large premium draft beer - $10.50
  • small domestic draft beer - $5

These prices are considered inexpensive.  Good lord.  I haven't been to an NFL game in years.

My wife and I spent a mint going down to Miami to watch FSU get stomped my Georgia last year in the bowl game.  They had shitty beer that was 19 bucks a pop.  We left before the first half ended and went back to the bar in Hollywood.  Much cheaper and more fun, screw stadium prices.

Edit:  Twin Peaks is a fun little spot to hang at if you’re ever in that area

If a family of four wants popcorn, a drink, and nachos, it shouldn't cost an extra $200

There are better quality, higher priced food options at MB but at least there's something cheap for those who want it

Some sports venues get it. The Masters is known for super cheap food/drink (but high merch prices, where they make their money)

On the other hand, The USTA announced that it sold 556,782 Honey Deuce signature cocktails during the 2024 U.S. Open. At $23 each (with a take hone cup), USTA made more than $12.8 million on the drinks alone, a 26% increase over 2023.

more than one Honey Deuce was sold for every two people who attended the Open

They reported operating revenues of $581 million last year, $514 million of which were generated from the U.S. Open, meaning Honey Deuce sales should account for roughly 2% of revenue in 2024.

    • Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up. 
    • I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.
    • I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
