More on the Beer Judgment: This article has more on the $135M judgment against Aramark, which runs concessions at Giants Stadium, for injuries to a young girl stemming from an accident with a driver coming home drunk from a football game. Will stadiums change their policies because of this? It is hard to say, because the NFL prohibits beer sales in the final quarter (many teams stop sales at halftime) and fans can buy only two beers at a time. Chances are that these policies will remain in effect, but that stadium vendors will all be reminded, perhaps through additional training, of the importance of the regulations and the need to follow them. In the Aramark case, the drunk driver tipped a beer vendor $10 to buy six beers, rather than two.
