Contrary to popular belief, my personal opinion is they aren't trying to prevent anything. They know not selling alcohol affects almost zero percent of the students BAC. In my mind, the main reason is not to prevent disorderly conduct, but to give the appearance of preventing disorderly conduct to appease the public and to create an atmosphere and culture that coincides with the moral standards preached by the university.

I am complaining or saying that it is bs that they don't sell alcohol, cause in fact I don't care at all. I'm just saying that I believe the main motives for the rules are alterior to the ones stated.

It's like the Blue Laws here in the South. Don't sell alcohol on Sunday morning and we all go to church. Otherwise, if I could buy bourbon on Sunday at 9am I'd be home wasted instead.
Crack is illegal but there are still crackheads.

yeah stadium security at Fed Ex is lazy. i was in teh upper section a few years ago, 2 skins fans are wailing on each other at the entrance to a bathroom for a good minute. a lady goes up to 2 people, 1 was a security guard another a female usher of sorts, she says there are 2 guys fighting in the bathroom, which was literally 10 feet away from were these 2 employees are. the guy smiles and joking laughs with the lady usher saying "shit i aint doing nothing".

then there are times were i have been caught on video surveillance in the lower row and i get a letter in the mail saying how i was caught on video and this is a warning. so idk, i get busted on video in the lower section for dumping beer on opposing fans but its a free for all in the uppers.

hoestly, what do you expect the 22 year old temporary security guard from PG county who makes $8.50 an hour on 8 sundays a year to do?

Employ more cops, they can order more police it is just more expensive.

Stadium security is limited to some extent in just how far they can go with intervention measures. They do however, work closely with the PG County authorities, but the response to incidents are not always swift. Some of the security personnel don't even have communication devices.

yeah or go with an off duty police officer! did that at an eagles game, he came strapped. as a joke he decided to not tell the guys who do teh pat downs that he was an officer and had his gun, the guy pats him, face goes white when he feels the gun, then my buddy told him he was a cop, showed his badge, etc. pretty funny.

Alcohol + idiots = problems

going to a game is so much better, funner and more enjoyable when you realize the opposing fans are people that just so happen to wear a different color on sunday.

ive come along way, still have a ways to go thoo, it is something i am proud of to the extent that looking back just a few years ago on my behavior it makes me down right embarrassed.

it feels good thoo, i mean real good. unfortunately when guys like me grow up and start acting our age there is just another dumber, drunker version of me waiting to take my place.

That's what I call learning to take responsibility for your actions. That's the first step towards recovery, so many people can't get to the point where they can admit that to themselves.

Yeah, but at least the good thing is you see how much more enjoyable going to the games can be now, although I'm sure even more so when the Redskins finally start winning on a consistent basis. :cheeky-sm

The funniest part is how that scronny kid says "whats up bro you want some" and then hides behind 98 dude, then finally shows his face, then gets clocked.
