In the US, they stop selling for the last quarter of NFL, the last twenty mins of a football match, and after the seventh inning of a baseball game.

I didn't notice:cool::highfive:

So noone actually knows the legal end of it.

I think there is a law against Association football and alcohol within view of the pitch but have nothing to back it up, just thought i heard it before. Id ask my legal friend but he is busy studying in his final Blackhall exams so ill wait until he finish's to ask.

edit: Just asked a different legal friend and he said the law i was thinking of was a British one but the FAI dont allow it. So that's why alcohol is not generally sold in grounds.
Anyone wanna pressure the FAI to change their minds??????
Clubs without bars would still need to apply for a club bar licence which would prob be just beer and wine (no spirits) but that's fine for most
