Stern: New guidelines will limit beer sales

[SequSpur]

america is not a free country

[GoSpurs21]

So what are the new guidelines?

You already can't buy a beer after the end of the 3rd quarter....

You can buy beer and mixed drinks at Headliners bar (main floor near smoking area) all the way through the game and even after the game.

For T Park...keep going to your AA meetings and stop trying to take my drinking rights away...you communist....this is America

Here in Slovenia you can drink as many beers and alcohol you want at a basketball or hockey game, but you cant bring a drink in to the stands, sits. You can drink in bars in the arena, but then you cannot watch the game, since you rae not allowed to your sit with a beer in your hand. It's the same with non alcohol drinks. It's simmilar everywhere else in Europe, but in Sweden, Finnland you cannot even bring alcohol in the building or buy it as well. you have to smuglle it in - you fill your 2L cocalola bottle with a beer (dark!) at home and you have it your bag, they check it and let you go in.
And when you are in, the party begins. hehe it works, trust me!

How are they gonna enforce this? Have you dip a finger in indelible ink every time you buy a beer?

I dont drink what so ever.

I aint takin your drinking rights away.


I go to the goddamn games to watch the game, thats what we are there for, not to in drink.

You want to drink, go to a damn bar or sit at home.

That simple.


And Sequ, you dont like it?? Oh well, your not going to the games anyways what do you care.

good for you boyscott. I am not trying to get you to drink. Unlike you, trying to force your lifestyle on others (like a communist).

Once again you are TELLING me what to do (just like a ing communist).

Just where the is it written that I can't do both? Just because you cannot walk and chew gum doesn't mean others can do two things at once. As for going to the games, the teams don't make money without alcohol sales dumbass.

T Park : People getting up are the inconveniences that go along with watching the game live with 20 000 other people.

And how are the new rules going to prevent someone from getting drunk if thats what they want to do? Only two drinks per purchase? But how many purchases are allowed? That doesn't stop anyone from drinking more than two and it will cause more people to get up to make the two limit purchase.

And cutting it off at the start of the 4'th quarter? They will just drink more during the first 3 quarters knowing they will be cut off. Looks like the NBA is just trying to do something for public image.

Well, gotdamn....if you're looking to not be disturbed around 20,000 people, then watch it at home!

[TNT21]

I'm just gonna start bringing vodka to the games. I can probably buy an orange juice for about 1/674 ths of what a beer costs. Someone do the math!!

Here, here...those are my thoughts exactly, smuggling in the alcohol, BRILLANT. I see people smuggle in alcohol into the UT games all time. But don't be too sure about the price of orange juice. Although it's not as high as beer isn't not cheap and I'm not sure the SBC sells it by itself.

Spurswoman, I really like your reasoning. If T PArk can't deal with adults enjoying adult beverages (I guess he's not an adult yet), he should stay at home. I mean this is SA goshdarnit, and SA knows how to party. Isn't this the same city that throws a huge party every spring (FESTA).

Wow, now the Fans must to drink 3 or 4 Beers before enter to the Arenas

3 or 4 plus 2 Beers in the Stadium may be good

[Clandestino]

During the finals against NJ, because of the narrow aisle, I spilled at least $3.00 worth of my margarita on the kid in front of me. This was before I had even taken a sip

haha! my cousing spilled his whole beer on the back of some guy in front of him... my cousin offered him some napkins to clean up, but the guy just got all pissed and left... when he left, i laughed hysterically... then the guys friends starting getting all mad...i said, "hey, he is not here, i can't help to laugh. 6 bux and it all went to waste".... they kept telling me not to laugh and bs like that.. anyway, the guy is walking back up the stairs and i couldn't help it and had to laugh again, part because i was remembering how the guy was acting like a little even though my cousin was aplologizing profusely and part bc his buddies were whining bc i was laughin.. then we almost got into a fight! haha... my cousin is huge, so when he stood up, they sat down... whew!

Some enforcement questions:
1. How are they going to know who's had two beers? Dip their fingers in indelible ink? I know which finger I'll dip first.

2. Wonder how this will go down with all those rich fat cats who spend thousands to be members of the private clubs in these arenas--or are they exempt because they really aren't attending the event when in those sacrosanct precincts?
