Fresno State Football Debuts 'Beer Bone' Souvenir Cup
The university's new bone-shaped cup for beverages costs $6 and aims to be a unique fan collectible.
Fresno State University is introducing a new novelty souvenir cup shaped like a bone for its upcoming football game against Boise State. The "Beer Bone" will be available for $6 and is intended to serve as a collectible item for fans attending the game.
The university's social media team has indicated that the cup can be used for beverages other than beer, including soda, for fans of all ages.
The debut of the Beer Bone coincides with a significant college football matchup, as the Bulldogs host the Boise State Broncos in a game that could be crucial for the season. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 PM Eastern on Saturday.
This culinary innovation follows other unique stadium offerings, such as oversized hot dogs like the "Glizzilla" introduced by the Colorado Rockies and various other unconventional food items available at sporting events across the country. One viral treat, a mini ice cream and fried chicken bucket from the New York Yankees, recently sold out within an inning.
While the Beer Bone is designed as a collectible, the article notes its potential for misuse if fans become unruly, suggesting it could be thrown onto the field if game outcomes are unsatisfactory. The author urges fans to use the souvenir responsibly.
