Martin Hall at it again.

Please don't shoot the messengers.

Alcohol at university events is a huge liability. One under-21 kid sneaks one drink at a Greek party, gets killed or kills somebody, it will make national news and the whole university will be pulled into it.

Don't get mad at UL. We didn't create this problem.

I promise you there will still be freshmen and under age drinking going on by non freshmen. Majority of college kids are under 21. They get in bars and still drink.
Liability wise I see why they have to at least say that to protect the university.

Freshmen get to Cajun Field!!! Geaux Cajuns!
Have a great time! Be safe!

They sell alcohol at athletic events, and why at a Greek party? What about any student at any party or anywhere on campus? Why is only Greeks the liability?

Easiest one to control. That’s why the houses are on campus. Leverage. Worst thing that ever happened to the Greeks, gave up autonomy.

That’s true, but even off campus the university holds a big stick. They can suspend, or revoke the individual Greek organization they find in non compliance of their rules.

They should treat the Greeks like a business association. It would be far better to form a symbiotic relationship with all the Greek leaders. You’re far more likely to not offend your business associates.

Seems "tailgating" at the frat house would be better than having two spots. Thus leaving the parking lot tailgate more open for freshmen?

P.s. how do they know who is a freshman and who isn't, tell them don't bring the red folder with map on the back to the tailgate

They gonna make current members of the Greek organizations wear wrist bands. Anyone without will not be allowed in the each Greek organizations spot. I assume they’ll have wristbands for dates and I would think ones school ID may say what year you started because I don’t think they get a new one every year like the old days.

Damn proud GDI here...me and my crew never, ever missed a home game...we made our own fun, didn't need some campus org to tell us how, why, when...

The sad thing is if you want to do something near the stadium today the university has control and tells you the how, when, and where. GDI and all. IMO they should have bulldozed the old McNaspy and built the new cajun field on campus. Kids with rent house within a mile radius could throw big pre game parties and not have to answer to the university. I thin our student participation would be much greater if the stadium was built on the main campus.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Ah, no we don’t need a stadium near the classrooms. Tulane stadium sucks. But it’s good for students to participate. There’s better ways to get students involved. We seem to have lost our way, or got rid of institutional knowledge.

[facelessjonmoon]

They have officers checking the crowd and giving MPIs at every tailgate in the state of Louisiana. No one is saying let a bunch of 18 year olds drink in public. Just let them in the party.

.

This explains why student attendance has been so bad in the last couple of years.

It reminds me of the McKinley street strip. It became a ghost town overnight once they stopped letting 18 year olds enter the scene

Is this confirmed to be true?

99% of the college football stadiums in America are on campus. If a student walks by it every day they may be more inclined to go. On campus stadiums would give alumni a better feeling of coming back when tailgating in places like the Quad or next to Cypress lake….

Yup. And a few of us could pass for 18 when we hit driving age…
