How much per beer at Fedex?
 

Hey Guys,

I don't drink much at sporting events. Friend of mine told me he went to a Yankees game in NY and each beer was $12.50. Is that normal?

Re: How much per beer at Fedex?
 

I'm thinking $6.00 - $8.00 for a domestic draft is reasonable enough at a sporting event. I usually set aside $100 bucks when I go to either a baseball or a football game at any professional venue. Once I get there I rarely consider the price of the item I'm purchasing if I feel that it's contributing to my overall game experience. I'm all about the utility factor.

I just went to a Yankees game a couple weeks ago and beers were either $8.50 or $9.50 depending on what you got. I don't know the answer you're looking for but I can't imagine it being higher than that.

how about..... too much?

Re: How much per beer at Fedex?
 

It's why I always bring a flask. Gives the $6.00 beer an extra kick.

Re: How much per beer at Fedex?
 

yes the flask of happiness.that is the way to go as long as you have a good sober driver to get me home.

For NY... yes.

Re: How much per beer at Fedex?
 

I believe it was $7 or $8 at FedEx last year for a beer. But I usually drink my fill before the game then let the game sober me out so I can drive home.

I wonder if that $12.50 beer was a larger than normal beer, or if it was a commemorative thing?

Don't know................too drunk to remember.............

Re: How much per beer at Fedex?
 

I am fairly postive it is $8 for a draft beer. Last year I went to the Steelers preseason game with three of my buddies. I bought a round (4) for $32! Next week it was on our bank statement and my wife was like did you drive home drunk? You had a $32 bar bill at the game! She is use to seeing my happy hour bar bills of like eight or ten bucks. It was funny!

True, it probably includes $5.00 in some sort of tax(es) up there. :)

How about RED parking passes?? - this is off topic, but I've been offered tickets to the Skins Giants game on 11/30, with a RED parking pass.. isn't this the lot that you have the really long walk??

Don't ladies get a free pass from the pat downs? You can buy really thin flasks.

Heck no. They usually have some dike woman feeling my up.. YUK..

RED Parking passes? Good or not good?

Re: How much per beer at Fedex?
 

While the Red lot is a good hike, it's better than hoofing it from Metro...just be sure to get there early and park as close to the stadium as you can.

There are certain areas of the body that they just don't pat down. :)

Its about a half mile walk.

Oh well. Better than parking and bussing it, or having to walk from the metro I guess...

Just wear boots and put it in your boot. People that sit next to me do it when its really cold outside. And they haven't been caught yet.

Re: How much per beer at Fedex?
 

My brother in law had season tics and these four older men (65 or older) all had their own little flask. One was a hollow walking cain with a twist off handle, two had binoculars with twist off eye peices, and the fourth had a slim flask that slid in his boot. Those guys would sit there and just have a good old time watching the game. At half time they would go down and come back with a meal that looked like they went to the cooking channel and had Paula Dean cook them up some fried chicking with all the fixings to go along. Not sure where the food came from but it sure did smell good.

The Red parking passes are best, IMO. I usually try to park near an exit of the Red lots (nose out). I find I can be on the beltway very quickly after a game ends that way. It is a long walk to/from your car, but walking back to you car is pretty easy. The traffic usually snarls from the inner lots out so you end up walking [I]through [/I]all the traffic to get to your car. It usually takes me no more than 10 minutes to get to the beltway from the time I get to my car. I have parked in every color lot, and Red is by far my favorite, as it saves me time when I leave. I always wait for the game to end, too.

As for not finding a flask on someone, I think you could have a giant one strapped to your chest out in the open and they wouldn't see it. Honestly, the security is more for show at FedEx.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Re: How much per beer at Fedex?
 

Beers were $8 for a 20 oz plastic bottle of miller lite.
I haave the Red parking as well and love it. Cpayne already nailed the explanation so I won't respost.
