OT: Purdue beer sales aka Ross-Ade Kool-Aid

[SoFla-Hawkeye]

Will we ever see legal beer in Kinnick? $500,000+ in sales has to get the attention of the AD's office.
Funny that the Nebraska game was their lowest sales for the season. Shucker fans prefer Old Milwaukee NA.

Agreed. Remember, that's gross, not net. You have the cost of beer,equipment, vendors, etc. Not to mention more puke to clean up.

Maybe they will use that money to fix up the visitors locker rooms.

More than likely that expense(other than the puke) is on the vendor and the vendor pays a % of sales to the university. No idea on stadium vendors but perhaps in the 15-25% range.

For bucks for a bottle of water at Kinnick ...I bet you they could charge $8 for a glass of beer. How could you not make a profit on that?

I hope it never happens. Some of the drunks are already out of hand couldn’t imagine how it will be if they can consume it all day.

Last time I was at a Purdue game you could leave and come back in why buy an 8.00 beer

So, the $500,000 is net to PU?

35,714 beers per game x 7 games x $8 x 25% = $500,000? Seems high.

My guess is that $500K is the revenue and the school netted a $100K payment on it.

then the added insurance costs eat up the rest?

Generally the vendor has that in their expense pile.
