The only time bootleggers and Baptist preachers are in agreement is voting on whether to be dry county or wet.If you can remember in the 60's at UT,you had to go to Oak Ridge to by beer,or go to the "woodshed"on Ashville hwy or the lumberyard on Alcoa hwy.But,do not get ouy of your car,or thejunkyard dawgs will eat you up.Not referring at all to the ice in the doghouse dawgs.

The same everywhere in the southern bible belt my friend. When Baptists what to drink, the go to back doors late at night to make their buys or go far enough out of town to not be seen by there "home folks".

Knoxville has so many issues with crime and homelessness and this is what they focus on?

You can say that exact sentence replacing Knoxville with any city or state and the issue with any minor, inane, low hanging fruit issue that politicians focus on because solving real issues like crime and homelessness requires hard work and tough decisions. These are two things that people get into politics specifically to avoid.

Well, don't you think if said vendor gets license suspended there's a clause that allow TN to get another vendor? Doesn't change the fact the title is misleading. At best, it's a, what did the article say, 60 days. Knoxville doesn't want to "stop Neyland" from selling alcohol.

**Edit** Accurate description: Knoxville recommends suspending beer license for Neyland Stadium's vendor

Three citations - 100k attendees - prob better than 65% are of legal drinking age.

They won’t lose their license. Got to love Knox City police department - never miss an opportunity to screw with someone.

The suspension will start in January by the time it gets through the court system.

I'll probably regret this. But if Kroger sells to enough minors, and they are routinely tested, Kroger will lose its license to sell beer. Same with and convenient store or restaurant. That's why they are diligent about checking IDs, even if you look 70. The vendor at Neyland needs to make that a requirement for the job. Before you sell a beer, you check the ID. Or you don't work here.

I would imagine if the contractor who has the beer concession at Neyland would be replaced if they lost their permit. Wouldn't you think the contract requires them to obey all laws and maintain the capability to execute a sale? Of course. I'm confident that the vendor would be fired and replaced with someone who can obey the law.

I'm not sure why fans would be worried. Somebody can figure out how to sell beer while checking IDs.

In my experience it's not the checking that's the problem. They don't do the math on the birthdate correctly.

To much money would be lost, no way this happens. They will pay a fine and go in with business as usual. It’s still perplexing to me that an an 18 year old can sign up for the military, but they cannot legally purchase an alcoholic beverage in the United States.

Years ago I was at a game and walking to another spot. It was cool and I had a jacket on and decided to carry a beer with me. I was walking in front of the stadium and was discreetly pouring my beer into a solo cup when a KPD officer told me to pour it out or he was going to issue me a $120 fine. People were literally 10ft from me tailgating and drinking. Ridiculous.
