I went to the SF Giant’s game for lunch. ($6 ticket but they still pull your pants down for a beer: $14!) It was crowded, as baseball stadiums tend to be and while navigating a slow narrow section it got crowded.
Well the gentleman in the electric wheelchair with the sales bros leaning over him pushing through the crowd had no patience for that shit. He came to a brush back stop one time and when they crowded up again he tapped reverse. I saw that shit.
He got space after that. Hats off sir!

Just throwing this out there; I’m pretty sure the reason beer is so outrageously expensive is because they don’t actually want people drinking it. Can you imagine what a sports crowd would be like at the end of a game if beer were $5?

They stop selling in the 7th so that the high wears off and the lethargy kicks in. Best of both worlds: everyone is dead broke and relatively docile at the end of the game.
I mean you’re right, but you’re giving them maybe a little more benefit of the doubt than might stand up to scrutiny.
How’s your Formula Ford? I’m jealous as hell btw.

It’s not too bad - our minor league team has dollar beer nights. Granted the dollar beer is a tiny glass, but you can get a big one for (I think) $3. General tickets are only $5, so it’s the cheapest place to drink in town!
The crowd leaving isn’t ever too bad, but I suppose that’s probably the difference in level of interest between major and minor league teams.

It’s $14 because they know people will buy it anyways. A man was almost beaten to death at a giants game once. You can get $5 beers at some spring training games (they give them to you in those little water cups). I’ve seen guys trashed after drinking twenty of those.

To a degree, yeah. Ten cent beer night was a thing way back when.
But $14 is really up there.
