I was at a concert last year, I think it was in New Hampshire, and the cops patrolling the parking lots were stopping at every vehicle/tailgate party reminding people about the open container law, and to use cups instead of drinking out of cans/bottles. First time in years of going to concerts I've ever seen that.

row_33 Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 the biggest security enforcement of my season ticket years was a useless Saturday night game in December versus the Broncos and they were patting people down and confiscating paper bags that fans were going to wear on their heads fortunately lots were snuck in and ESPN was able to capture a section with a lot of bag-wearing fans for a shot

First time in years of going to concerts I've ever seen that. oh yea ive been seeing that at different venues for years now. Usually to prevent the use (and breaking/smashing) of glass bottles. It's really quite simple to pour into a solo cup. I do this anyway because I drink a lot of homebrew and craft beers.

mrags Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 4 hours ago, Playoffs? said: That’s kinda BS. I get it if someone looks underage, but come on... You realize It’s against the law right? “Open Container Law and Penalties In New York State, it is against the law to drink from or have an open container of alcohol in a public place. This law does not apply to residences or business establishments with liquor licenses, but it does prohibit drivers and passengers from possessing or consuming an open container of alcohol in the car. The law applies even when the car is not being driven, meaning being inside a parked vehicle does not allow you to have a drink. The only way to be sure that you will not get in trouble with the law for having an open bottle of alcohol in your car is if it is in the trunk.” https://www.lipsitzgreen.com/dwi/2017/03/01/what-is-new-yorks-open-container-law/

First time in years of going to concerts I've ever seen that. That's how it started in my area going back quite a few years - cops telling us if we have cups we're OK. It's been part of every pre-game and pre-concert routine every since: Who's bringing the cups?

May Day 10 Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 The behavior before and at games is a small fraction of what it was 10 years ago.
Phil The Thrill Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 5 hours ago, HOUSE said: Buffalo Bills officials continue to tinker with policy to curb the raucous behavior of fans on game day that last year resulted in 55 game-related arrests by Orchard Park police outside the stadium. https://buffalonews.com/2019/09/17/buffalo-bills-to-fans-on-game-day-behave-or-be-gone/ No surprise. For all of the talk about the “Bills Mafia,” the organization has been ashamed and embarrassed to be associated with some of the behavior in the viral videos around the internet. They’ve been taking incremental steps to curb behavior and some speculate the ultimate goal is to build a stadium downtown to eliminate tailgating all together! 6 minutes ago, May Day 10 said: The behavior before and at games is a small fraction of what it was 10 years ago. Agreed. I remember back in the day, there were drinking games played in the parking lot where people openly pounded beers. There also was a number of multi-person beer funnels set up where any stranger could walk up and funnel beer with their Bills Mafia brethren! Now if an officer sees the funnel he takes it or breaks up a game of flipcup 1

Could be different this year though. You could probably find a couple adults that would pay you for that. Hey, when opportunity knocks... The sheriffs warned us that there was an undercover in the lot ahead. Told us to chug it or hide it better.
SirAndrew Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 1 hour ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: The past couple games I went to, I have found stadium security agents to be a little “over the top” in responding to fairly minor transgressions. I think they need to lighten up a little, and focus on the bigger problems. This ^ I go to games with family, and just chill with a few beers. Most people aren’t there to cause trouble. I don’t ever want to get to the point where tailgating is completely outlawed, and that possibility doesn’t seem too far fetched. I’m always in favor of outlawing stupidity, but sometimes it gets to the point where fun becomes outlawed.
Freddie's Dead Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 One of my relatives works security at the stadium. It says 55 were arrested, while dozens more per game are let go. It's a big problem, and as was said upthread, act your age. Your right to have fun ends when you take that right from others.

Sure. Try to get rid of 10K fans so remaining fans fit along with those who buy tickets from their partner scalpers who give them kickbacks.

akm0404 Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 I'm ashamed of a lot of the things I did at the Ralph during my season ticket twenties. You'll grow out of it too, but feel free to get a jump on things if you'd prefer not to have the memory of drunkenly harassing an opposing fan wearing the jersey of a player who had died and having an older lady look at you in horror and shame in her eyes and tell you to have some class.
