Unfortunately, Acrisure Stadium does not seem to have properly prepared for the game. A report from inside says beer ran out early.
Update from the Backyard Brawl: They’re out of beer. Not a joke.

In Week 0, Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland lost internet during the Nebraska-Northwestern game, causing a chaotic scene. The free beer supply eventually ran dry.
