No Alcohol Policy at NCAA Tournament Games

[Black_Dragon]

Would love to hear the NCAA's reason for this. Attending a session at the Milwaukee site and watching 2 full games without a cold one is pretty disappointing. Same thing when I attended the BIG Football Championship against Sparty.

And before I get the classic "you're an alcoholic" response- no, its my day off and would like to enjoy the game while drinking a beer.

The B1G Tournament in Chicago doesn't serve alcohol either, but this year in D.C. they did.

Many people do not like to attend sporting events where alcohol is sold, because there are always some who over imbibe.

If you don't like the policy, I suggest you no longer attend NCAA events.

Attending a session at the Milwaukee .

Enough said, there will be plenty of beer around

Didn't Minnesota experiment with this?? I thought there were some schools who were "trying it out" to see how it went? Maybe it was Ohio State. I remember hearing some colleges were trying it out.

If people can control themselves and maybe limit it to 2-3 per game, i would be okay with that. If it brings in extra $$$ I don't see why you wouldn't.

Correct. I went to the Iowa Minnesota football game and they served beer. I didn't see any incidents. Just sad Minnesota fan faces; ) Just grab a plastic flask and fill it with rum or captain. Buy a coke at the games and enjoy.

On one hand, you're free to want a beer while you watch back to back sessions of basketball. On the other hand, surely you can do without a $10 cup of beer flavored water. No?

Went to a Final Four in New Orleans and no fun stuff at the game there. Had a great buzz going thinking I would be able to keep it going......alas, buzz kill.

stupid rule. The NCAA games in DSM was the first time I went four hours without a drink since I was 17.

LOL, that'd be pretty pathetic.

Get enough in you before the game, smuggle some in or go to a bar....

Odd that it can be served at the B10 Championship game.

You can even smoke a "J" in D.C., anything goes in D.C.

I'm going to guess, without clicking, that the first two are flasks and airplane bottles. Then a bunch of novelty body devices, then number 43 is knee-high socks.

Beer has worked every time at CSU fball! Never see an incident.
