No Beer??

[silversound]

I do not believe that is against the law, I heard that they did not get approval from the State Commission, because no one made the appropriate calls.

my fault. I didn't clarify. We got a permit to sell beer for a catered event. This is a football game. The permits weren't done properly.

And the State Commission didn't find out about it until 10 AM this morning? Maybe we didn't do the right thing...but the timing on this smells like BS.

I agree, its BS

I just heard less than 130 tickets left for the grass

from cajuns sports information:

Cajuns Announce Sellout

The University of Louisiana has announced that all available reserved and general admission tickets are sold out for Saturday’s game vs. Southern. The combination of tickets sold and the seating held for UL students with a valid ID has resulted in the largest pre-game sale in University history.

Contrary to previous announcements, Cajun Field’s concession management firm Sodexo Sports & Leisure will not sell beer in the stadium on Saturday.

Despite Sodexo having received prior approval from the Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC), a question was raised late Friday afternoon by ATC that remains unresolved.

A decision has been made by Sodexo management and their legal staff that all beer sales will remain on hold until those questions can be answered.

maybe with the grass seating being a little dicy with the possible rain, you don't want someone who has had their limit walking down the hill.

You are right, and that area has some uneven ground

What I've heard is that Murphy J Painter of the ATC got cold feet. If we get to sell beer, he feared every college in LA would want to sell beer and he would be forced to grant that due to the fact that UL sells beer. Just what i've heard. Not just a failure on UL's part but the catering company that we contract and the state.

Is any of it UL's fault?

Did he make that decision independently or did someone strongly suggest he not allow us to sell beer. I have always been leery of our North Louisiana bretheren who, for local political reasons, could never sell beer in their stadiums. The timing of his decision is also very suspect. If it was a bad idea Saturday morning, it would have been a bad idea 2 weeks ago. There is more to this story than a administrator having cold feet. Someone "persuaded" him to make that decision and I would be very interested in knowing who was behind it! With 41,000 + fans (voters) at a football game people start noticing and you get considerably more political clout.

Hard NOT to be a conspiracy theorist on this one....
