Aaron Rodgers Has Beyond Insane Request for Packers to Help Make Home Games at Lambeau Louder
By Scott Rogust
The Green Bay Packers' fanbase has been down in the dumps the past two years after consecutive missed playoff berths. With an improved roster and a new head coach, Aaron Rodgers wants the crowd to be loud at Lambeau Field, and he's got an idea.
Rodgers suggests Lambeau Field should slash beer prices in order for the crowd to get loud while the Packers are playing defense.
“I’m up for anything that’s gonna get the fans as loud as possible,” Rodgers said, via ProFootballTalk. “Maybe slash some beer prices or something, would be a good idea.”
Ah yes, that's exactly what the NFL needs. Even MORE drunk fans causing a raucous and getting wasted to the point they don't even know what they're yelling about. There's a reason stadiums stop selling booze after the third quarter?
Do people in Wisconsin really need those few extra pints of Miller Lite?
Lambeau Field currently sells a 16-ounce can of domestic beer sells for $8.25, and if they were slashed, that's a decent bargain.
If we needed more proff of this being a disaster, ust look at Ten Cent Beer Night in 1974, which saw fans at Cleveland Stadium vandalize the field and steal bases in the ninth inning of an Indians-Texas Rangers game. As a result, the game was forfeited to the Rangers.
Yes, cheap beer will get Packers fans rowdy...but at what cost?
