Dry On Opening Day

Since there is no football going on except for the draft, the NFL slipped this announcement under the radar. Fans have not had a chance to react.

On the tenth anniversary of 9/11, the NFL will join MLB in prohibiting beer sales inside the stadium during the game. This is also the opening of the season on Sunday.

This will come as a shock to NFL fans. Some will probably linger out in the parking lot to tailgate. They will miss the pre-game ceremonies associated with the remembrance.

I think it's a good idea to honor that day. Some fans will disagree about the ban, but one alcohol free game won't hurt anyone.
