They definitely don't have draw beers in the open stadium. I just texted my tailgate group of like 40 people asking the question and no one has seen it. The press box suites they have have keg beer in some of the common areas (my employer has a suite), but there's no draws in regular seating. I don't know about the Ted Pacha club level, but nobody from there is going to be up in your area, and you can't get inside there without a pass. Someone might be pouring beers in soda cups from concessions or you're stepping in soda.
I remember on the HR rivals board there was someone around the time of the announcement who was affiliated with the U somehow, he said they'd never be able to do draws without a huge retrofit. You can't do kegs because you'd need thousands of them, plus you'd have people changing them out every 5 minutes. To do draw beer you have to pipe it in bulk from semi trailers and pipe it throughout the stadium. My kid and I took a tour of US Bank stadium and I remember the guide showing us the 10" huge pipes in the tunnels that hold all the beer. He said never to drink tap beer until the 2nd quarter because if you got it before that you were drinking beer that sat in the pipes for a couple weeks. There was even a separate trucking dock for the beer tankers to use.
I'll take pictures of it and post it. I just double check with my wife and son to make sure I'm not hallucinating. Remember the section I sit in was just built a few years ago. I've had beer spilt all over my coats and on to my shoes because they are in cups and when they get tipped over the entire contents of them spill onto the concrete and make their way down the bleachers.
