College football bowl game experiences beer shortages before halftime, per report

One college football bowl game is having a wild turn of events Tuesday evening.

That game is the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl featuring Texas State and Rice. That game is being hosted by Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, but multiple issues are reportedly plaguing the venue.

According to multiple reports, the venue was running low on alcohol before the game even reached halftime. Texas State’s sideline first exhausted its supply of alcohol while things were running low on Rice’s sideline.

Reports also indicate the venue is having issues related to the comms of the coaching staff:

Twelve minutes left in the first half and reports on the ground say the coaches’ headsets have died and the alcohol has run dry. We now have no comms and no booze at the First Responder Bowl.

RedditCFB can confirm earlier reports: Texas State has consumed all alcohol available on their side of Gerald Ford Stadium.

Beer is in incredibly low supply on the Rice side, but sections 104 and 106 appear to have the most stocked supplies.#CapitalJjournalism #beerwatch pic.twitter.com/S0I4msx7ka

The good news is the action on the field has resulted in points coming in bunches throughout the first half. Texas State kicked a last-second field goal before halftime as the two sides combined for 45 total points before the break.
