Just curious, do you recall if they pat you down?? Not that I like it mind you, but since my seats are located in the Outer Space Upper Level, not sure Jim Beam will be served there over crushed ice. thanks

Haha, I honestly believe they just use the metal detectors to scan over so make sure your airplane bottles have plastic caps on them. I typically walk around the gate you are going to enter and scope the scene before getting to the front and realizing you cant get them in.

The way it is getting at Neyland these days, if you can get them in there you can get them in about anywhere.

I agree. The problem is that a lot of college kids will still heavily binge drink before the games, even if the stadium sells it. They won't pay or can't afford the overpriced drinks in the stadium. Heck, a souvenir cup Coke is like $8 in Neyland. I can't imagine what a beer would cost.

The real issue for the University is the potential liability of serving alcohol to minors, which is what the vast majority of college kids are. It just gets to be a personal injury lawyers dream if they start serving alcohol at a university stadium which is why the overwhelming majority of on campus stadiums don't.

It was called a paddy wagon but seeing it's hillbilly vs. hillbilly teams 1 or 2 buses may be more appropiate at this venue! 1 orange and one blue/yellow. Don't want to mix these 2 fan groups together while under the influence.

No pat downs, just metal wands and checking bags

This wasn't students, this was grown ass adults.

I've been to lots and lots and lots of games. My wife and I both commented we'd never seen anything like it before. Usually the dumbest of ****s are gator or LSU fans. These were UT fans.

One numbnut got the royal KPD ankle and wrist treatment. You got to be one special person to get that treatment. It was first fame of the season, and a late start. It was super hot outside, still doesnt excuse the numbskull behaviour.

I felt for the people there with small kids.

There will, but it won't be because of alcohol. It'll be WV fans when we win and they melt down.

Discount furniture stores around Charlotte might need to stock up in case there's a run on fodder for a Morgantown-style bonfire.

Typically they will serve until the end of the 3rd quarter. I you want any for the 4th better buy it during the 3rd quarter.

I recall the Dooley game in the GA Dome (the one with the leather helmet), i searched high and low for a Guiness. Finally found one. $10. i drank Bud Light after that.

Guinness would be hard to find I would think in a stadium unless you make it into a skybox.

Not picking on you joe, but since you said melt down it got me to thinking. I’m as big a duck in the puddle as anyone to this point so I’m talking to myself too. Please everyone consider something, no matter how it goes after games this season, please don’t do what we usually do...go into meltdown mode and knee jerk reactions. If we win let’s act like we’ve been there because we have, if we lose let’s be gracious and mature, we can’t win em all. Our enemies want to come in here and hopin to see it to laugh it up, and if we win it’s like counting poker money at the table, be gracious. We’re all proud sons of Tennessee raised better than that.

I've been told that during this year's preseason games at B of A, if you're caught trying to bring alcohol into the stadium, you'll be denied entry and your tickets will be confiscated.

Is anyone else concerned about the OP's question when taking into account his username??
