Posted Sep 24, 2021
Portland State football coach Bruce Barnum found an easy way to get fans to his team's home opener against Western Oregon. Turns out if you offer free beer, they will come. And while it wasn't as grand as a Field of Dreams plot-line, Barnum followed through on his promise, fronting the entire $14,448 bill. Barnum tweeted a picture representing the bill.
