Yeah, I hear ya. And I agree that venue food and beverage pricing is non sensical.
But, ya know. For me, buying a hot dog and a beer at the ballpark is part of the game experience. Especially on a hot summer day.
I'm not doing it to get plastered.
Drinking on a "party bus" on the way to a game smacks to me like all the bad and violent vibe I hear about attending FedEx games. (And probably many other NFL stadia.)
I hear you, brother. As I get older, I am getting more sensitive to people who over imbibe and frankly act like total imbeciles and take away from other people's enjoyment of the game.
