_ It is indeed official. Beer in the Swamp this fall. Take that to the bank.

Yup. I was told by our director at band camp. We have to change the Ragin' March because of it. We won't be playing at the top of the hill anymore (something we wanted to stop doing anyway.) because that's where they're going to be selling the beer. Above the tunnel like. That's what I heard, now whether that ends up being how it is or not is unknown to me.

_ Woo hoo. Remind me to sit low in that upper deck. A couple of reasons. Easier to decend after a few and also the most important, quick access for refills. _

RCAF is coming up with another fund raising mechanism that ties into the beer sales... for the high flying members... a beer and urinal plumbing system will be piped into your seat... separate piping costs extra.

I like the beer sales... but also hope it doesn't create behavioral problems at the games... like missed high fives and spillage.

I don't know if I'll be in the minority on this one but I'm against the selling of beer at the games.

Can I get another parking pass with that? The behavior is my concern also. I'm sure they'll cut off sales at the end of 3.

Of course the main problem will be behavior. Most will have been drinking all day already to couple that with the warm draft they will be served. It is a recipe for disaster. More littering of the stadium, a horrible beer stench making its way through all the seats and bathrooms may actually be even worse than they are right now. For the money generated, I don't think it is a good idea. You couple all of those things with the heat and I'd rather not go there.

I have mixed feelings about it. My biggest concern is that anything bad that happens will be blamed on the sale of beer. It could be a public relations nightmare.

To me, there is just nothing positive that will come out of it. I'm glad I sit where I do because beer consumption will not be a problem having to sit around a bunch of drunks with spilled over beer cups everywhere but I'm telling you it will be like that in parts of the stadium. I do not believe it to be a very good idea.

I'm concerned about the potential problems. They definitely need to cut sales off at the end of 3Q. People who cannot drink without it being an issue will learn it somewhere in their travels... if it isn't at a UL football game... it will be somewhere else. I don't think Cajun Field is going to create any drinking problems, but it may reveal some.

The fact remains that if behavior gets out of hand, the people involved are going to get kicked out and probably go to jail. You also do not want to get caught driving over the legal limit. With drinking comes decisions and consequences... like many other things in life.
