Straight from the horses mouth at: http://the-inferno.net/forum/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=10&TopicID=46&PagePosition=1 It's time to start thinking of alternatives.
Yes we can drink on this adjacent land. I believe it is located on the West side of the stadium beyond the scoreboard. If you can make it Thursday night we will be discussing the options (or clubbing John to death with a big stick)
Since the parking lot is on school property, the alcohol ban should come as no surprise. It was nice of the Burn to work out a deal with private landowners to allow tailgating on their property. But don't be surprised if you see strangers at the first few games. SPD and residents of Southlake will likely be watching. I'll eat, but I wont drink.
Let them watch. We clean up after oursleves, we are loud, but not overly so for a group of our size. Scipio and the devil drink. No mere mortal shall tear asunder.
In the Fan Guide that was sent out with the season tickets, at the very bottom of the sheet, it lists off things that can get you ejected, lose of privileges, arrest, and prosecution: 1.selling or distributing alcohic beverages or any other drug/intoxicant. 2.entering the playing field without proper authority. 3.loitering the aisles. 4.engaging in rowdy, profane, abusive, inconsiderate, drunken, or other inappropriate behavior. 5.fighting 6.throwing of any object that maybe dangerous to others. 7.causing property damage of any sort.
What the heck are the Inferno supposed to do then? Seriously, we'll check out the tailgating options tomorrow night at the open house and see how feasable it is to lug beer (& the rest) over there and back.
Essentially, those polcies have existed since day one. The only problem we will have is with item one and item four. The use of "profane" language and gestures permeates the Inferno. If there are objections, we just change a few words. "Rowdy" or disorderly could be a problem. I do beleive, however, that things such as chanting, singing, or standing up will not be prohibited.
Throwing anything that may be dangerous to others. I think the Burn might have had a hand in this, since it appears to exclude confetti, except for the Irish type.
As long as they don't give me crap for standing at my seat and shouting, then the event staff and I might be able to get along.
I figure if I could get away with drinking beer at age 17 in a HS stadium parking lot - I can probably figure a way to do it at age 35. And what is Irish confetti?
Irish confetti, Rovers, is bricks. Not the correct way to greet Teri Hatcher, and laest if we are trying to get her drunk and dancing on the top of cars. Arsenal Texas has it right. If they don't mind us standing and cheering, it will not be a problem.
Well you guys in the GA section have it a little bit easier than I do. For 6 games I'm in the Southside reserve section. Hopefully no one cares, but if they do, I'll kindly point to the "handicap" section where there is plenty of room to stand and where the soccer moms and i can co-exist. Them in the seats and me yelling across the guardrail.
