Drink Illegally at Football Games, Lose Privilege to Attend Home Sporting Events

submitted by theosetoh on Thursday, October 28 2004 at 9:12 AM

Football games days are "sweet" at NC State. However, some students see a sweet day turn sour we they run afoul of alcohol law and policy. NC State students who are cited for an alcohol-related offense at a home football game lose their privilege to attend any home sporting event for up to 90 days. Keep your day sweet by observing the following:
* If you're underage, don't drink alcohol
* If you can legally drink, follow the rules. Only beer and unfortified wine are allowed on stadium area property, no liquor is allowed
* No alcohol is allowed in the stadium
* Leave the driving to non-drinkers.

I decided to put this one up just as an FYI. Not because I agree with it, but just so you kids don't lose your priviledges because you didn't know.

S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-DUMB!

10/28/2004 10:05:47 AM

have somebody else get you a ticket

problem solved

10/28/2004 10:16:18 AM

good luck enforcing this madness

10/28/2004 10:27:09 AM

If you can't drink at a football game without getting in trouble, then clearly you are a moron.

10/28/2004 10:32:51 AM

worst story ever.

10/28/2004 10:49:17 AM

What a joke.

If an 18 year old kid gets a drinking ticket at a game and then gets a ticket for a basketball game a month later how in the fuck are they going to know.

Also this is stupid. This just gives underage people even less incentive to drink before games.

Christ, stop being prohibitionists.

10/28/2004 11:15:55 AM

Whoah, no liquor? I've never known of that rule. That sucks.

You say that like it's a bad thing....

Look, you can act like an elitist prick because you're 23 but when you were 18 you thought it was fucking gay.

I wouldn't fight in Iraq but by god I would fight today against MADD and any other neo-prohibitionist group out there.

Teetotalers need to get a life.

Don't knock alcohol until you've been an alcoholic and need it.

but i need cocaine plz, make it legal, and prostitutes too

Good.

a couple years ago i had a friend get caught with an airplane bottle and he was banned from carter finley for a year

10/28/2004 12:53:36 PM

fucking overkill in my opinion.

10/28/2004 1:02:29 PM

this school keeps getting gayer and gayer im glad this is my last semester

if you're a freshman I recommend you transfer

10/28/2004 1:09:28 PM

hahaha, i'm glad i'm of legal drinking age!

this sucks for the underagers, but works out in my favor. the more people cited, the less competition for tickets.

maybe their ID is denied when they go to swipe it to get a ticket/voucher?

10/28/2004 1:26:39 PM

^^^
You don't know shit about NC State if you recommend freshmen should transfer.

I wonder what the reasoning behind this is? Enforcing new rules doesn't solve the problem, it only tries to contain it, and often, doesn't prove effective in doing so.

10/28/2004 1:41:49 PM

i had no idea liquor wasnt legal! The captin coulda got me a ticket last time..... damn captin... damn

10/28/2004 1:58:59 PM

let me rephrase

if you enjoy having fun on weekends then transfer

10/28/2004 2:38:22 PM

I have fun on the weekends here.

10/28/2004 2:39:22 PM

you're old enough to go to bars too

ABSOLUTE DUMBEST POLICY EVER

How can a ticket written by a law enforcement officer, not affiliated with NC State, affect the distribution of NC State sporting event tickets? That makes no sense. I wish I knew my rights because I believe this would violate one of them. Suppose I'm a student and have season tickets, how are they going to stop me from going to the game? Whose to say another student can't use his ID to get you a ticket to the game? Are extra tax dollars being spent on this load of Sh!t? If so, and even if none are, this is still the most stupid policy NC State has come up with. It's almost as if NC State owns the ALE, Raleigh PD, Highway Patrol, etc. Leave the penalties of breaking the law to the law enforcement. Don't try to come up with stupid penalties for something that involves law enforcement not affiliated with NC State!

10/28/2004 3:03:09 PM

Do they have a lot of patrols going around checking for underage drinking before the game?

10/28/2004 3:05:23 PM

i don't think this is a new policy. this is just somebody pointing it out.

As long as you're a student at State, any action you make reflects on the University.

Therefore the University derives the power to punish you for any wrongdoing for which you might have been convicted of and already sentenced for.

Read your student handbook...it's all there.

10/28/2004 3:51:13 PM

It ties to your ID so when you go to swipe your card it won't let you in.
Though I'd like to see a student usher try to deny access to those with a ticket.

10/28/2004 4:00:08 PM

That's what Im saying.

Who gives a fuck if their ID wont swipe.

It's not hard to find a freshman co-ed that goes home every weekend because they are more comfortable in a high-school setting than a college one.

This is NC State, Home of the mal-adjusted, socially inept people age ranged 17-28.

10/28/2004 4:14:09 PM

I have no problems with this, drinking before the game is fine but dont get all out bonkers. And liquer in the stadium is gay as hell. Come to cheer not to get "crunk"

10/28/2004 4:34:44 PM

Its the COOOLEST

10/28/2004 5:10:26 PM

this got moved back to the top, and some of the posts were deleted. why?

10/28/2004 9:43:57 PM

nevermind... damn temporary internet files

When I was 18 and wanted to drink at games, I did so knowing and accepting the consequences that would follow should I get caught. If I was not prepared to deal with the consequences, I wouldn't have had anything to drink.

And the rest of your argument is completely inane. Not even worth commenting on.

MADD focus is not drinking and driving. Sorry if you drink and drive you deserve to get your ass draged across the coals.......
