not on my watch

Perhaps to the chagrin of some beer-chugging football fans, University of Miami games at the Orange Bowl stadium are about to become more tame -- with limited alcohol sales and a larger police presence.

The new rules, which will be enforced immediately, are the latest effort by the city of Miami and UM to bring a more ''family type'' atmosphere to Canes games, where fights sometimes break out among unruly -- and often drunk -- fans.

Wow, I was under the impression that they couldn't serve alcohol at NCAA games. Is it because the University doesn't own the stadium? Or do they own it?

I've always had to sneak booze into college games around here.

Used to sell beer like mad at OU games. Then they cut down the beer selling, then they wouldn't let people leave the stadium at halftime to get beer elsewhere.

The Orange Bowl is not on campus, and is not University property.

The university leases it for football games, but that's it. They don't just serve alcohol there. They serve it all over the place.

I have never been to any pro sports stadium that not only had as good of prices on booze, but as plentiful of a supply. Basically, like every 10 feet in that shithole's concoure there is a guy with an icy tub dispensing booze to hundred of sweaty, lightly clothed, young persons.

anyway, they can actually tone it down, and still have plenty of alchohol available.

the part about ticket checking is bullshit. last year for the FSU game we sat in the student section, and obviously didnt have student tickets. its simply more fun there. Hope we get to do that this year.

As far as I know the only College campus that sells Beer at games on its premises is UNO unless thats changed very recently.

The Orange Bowl is a shithole because of the fans, not the booze.

They've never sold booze at Florida Field, but you're allowed to leave and re-enter. Needless to say, the bars across the street are always fucking PACKED around halftime. We have very few fights, and, since they quit seating frat blocks behind the visitors' section, no more golden showers.

yeah i'd much rather have to walk across the street and do my drinking in 10 mins competing with 50,000 people to belly up to the bar. no thanks, i'll walk 10 feet and drink all game

rationalize how you want, but no booze = lame as hell. bee LEEVE it!

I used to tuck a little flask in my band uniform, since it's hard to hit the Porpoise when you're s'posed to be on the field

Back on topic, the only thing that will improve the Orange Bowl is a wreching ball.

When I went to school at WVU, we had beer there. Then again, they are a pretty drunken crowd and school

if by "improve" you mean: demolition is the only thing that would give the gators a chance of having a national title shot in the next 4 years...particularly if that wrecking ball happened to hit during a Canes practice ...then yah i'll give you that

We don't play y'all after this season, so things are looking up sooner than 4 years!

hehe indeed!
