Don't you just love it , they will generate 500,000 to help mental health , teach them how to drink a drug.
Who wants this money? Who keeps control of this money? We are creating a source for saving people who drink by selling liquor? Elliott

What's the problem? Still have to be 21. They can easily go to other professional stadiums (or simply a bar) and drink.
Smart thinking. It's like not wanting marylanders to go to delaware to gamble. Need to make what you can yourself.
Next will be marijuana....

6:43: "...Still have to be 21...?" What? Are you Amish or something? Eighteen out of High School and into college with MANY 21 year-olds. Did you not go to college? (With all due respect.)
