No

The organization doesn't need the liability of excessively drunk patrons in the stands nor on the road after the game. 1 dead pedestrian or driver and Panthers are potentially liable. Answer is very simple regardless of the slant of your questions.

Poll Questions are slanted to get a particular response as any "No" answer is made to look like a wussy. Sorry just stupid to answer Yes on this one for anybody with the best interests of the public and the team. Also there will be a lot of Women and Children at these games.

Sorry, if people want to get blasted at games, they do anyways at the tailgates before and after. Not having beer in the games does nothing for the public good. If someone gets too drunk and out of hand, they should be escorted out. But why punish the responsible beer drinkers out there for the actions of a handful of numbskulls?

Generally speaking, I agree with Zod on this. The availability of alcohol is such that eliminating it for roughly thirty minutes in the 4th quarter probably has a negligible effect. The bottom line is that people have to assume personal responsibility for their conduct, and sluggin' down a pony keg before and after the game, knowing you have to drive, is just plain stupid. My only caveat is that by cutting off the alcohol in the 4th might relieve the Panthers of perceived liability for the guy who drinks heavily before and after the game (i.e., "Hey we cut the guy off at the end of the third quarter. What he did after he left us is not our responsibility").

From a crowd control aspect, I think it's best. If you allow people to buy beer all the way up to the end, it will encorage them to hang around in the stadium after the game (to finish their drink). It's the same reason last call in a bar is usually 15 minutes before close.

The last thing I'd want if I'm stadium security is a bunch of folks who have been drinking all day and who are still probably emotionally charged about the result of the game hanging around together in the premises.

I don't have a problem with it. Make a two-fisted run at the end of the third quarter and keep a stash in the car cooler if your deal is to maintain a buzz all day long. The fact of the matter is there is a disproportionate percentage of stupid motherfugers who can't make the right decisions and can't control their body who attend large sports events. It has nothing to do with the Panthers.

The Panthers have a greater responsibility to at least make an attempt at greater safety, even if it is only perceived, than they have a responsibility to make sure your beer buzz is uninterrupted.

    • As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.
    • I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense. 
    • No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
