Cooler Tax? Would you be for it?

After reading the boards for the last few years; one of the things that keeps coming up is coolers and their allowance in the stands.

We all know that tracks don't allow coolers because they are trying to generate income via concession sales.(Although they can create a hazard in the stands) They have to. They are a business and they have to turn a profit to stay one.

I also understand the desire of fans to bring your own beveridges and food.

Could a compromise be made if a track offered a cooler section, but in turn to bring in a larger cooler, you paid some sort of fee of $10 or $15 dollars. Say a ticket is $10, but if you want a large cooler it would be $25(Only for the one person, one other adult could benefit at the regular price and children would have their regular price as well.) You sit in a section that accomidates the coolers and have at it.

After a few cold ones and some sandwiches, the difference is made up for the customer,the track owner has some coin and the customer has their own food and beveridge.

At first glance that may seem unfair, but really everyone gets what they want or need without anyone being offended.

Just a question that may or may not help the tracks and the customers experience.
