pakapablo Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I keep hearing conflicting information regarding beer availability at our new on campus arena. I saw Xavier fans on the Charter broadcast enjoying some coldies. Is the Cintas Center on Xavier's campus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 have no fear as there will be beer in the new arena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILbillikenfan Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Are you sure? I thought there was a restriction to selling beer if arenas are a certain distance from campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 there must have been a change in NCAA regs as I have been assured there will be alcohol in the new bldg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 They're selling beer at the BiondiDome. They sell it at the Cintas and other on-campus arenas. Don't worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 why would you even think that. as long as i have been aware of saint louis university they have had beer on campus. when i was a student in the late 70's early 80's there was a pub in the busch center, and i believe the restaurant in the busch center now serves beer. i would think ab and their generous support will make sure that beer will flow at the biondi dome as well.

Supersonic Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Our band does play the Bud theme. I would hope that I can still enjoy a few cold ones at the new arena! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBand Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 The only time the ncaa can control alcohol sales is during NCAA events (NCAA Tournament games). Its up to the school to allow or not allow alcohol sales. Distance from campus of the building has nothing to do with their policy. beer will be at the new arena.

courtside Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I don't know the rules...but most on campus arenas or football stadiums have not had beer for sale. Off campus yes. There is a difference between having a pub on campus and serving alcohol to 20,000 for hoops or 80,000 plus for football. I would definitely say I haven't been to an on campus football stadium that served beer, and I go to a lot of sporting events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 It is possible that a campus could be dry - like Mizzou so that is why no alchol is sold there. Seems to me that all those saying they have bought alchol at other school's on campus arenas means that you are just going to dry campuses or places that a decision has been made not to sell.

TheGoat Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 are you kidding? Midwest Catholics at a function and no alcohol? That is just unheard of. Hell, catholics around here will put up a beer garden for a bake sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtside Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 There are two different things: Dry Campus, and no booze at games on campus. I know many campuses who have a campus bar or pubs...on campus, some even University owned serving booze. Some of these same places have on campus arenas and serve zero booze at games. As I said, most on campus places serve no booze of any kind at arenas...they aren't dry campuses...just at arenas. Let's see Midwest? You can get booze at Louisville, Marquette DePaul...off campus venues.....But go to bigger schools, or state schools...schools with on campus venues ....Mizzou, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan....etc...Illinois...no dice. The urban schools that have off camous venues are usually the exceptions. In fact it is unique to have venues that serve booze imo. Maybe some of the lcoal STL folk don't realize that they are definitely the minority at SLU games. ....and as we discussed, kids can't afford it anyway.

pakapablo Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 They should start serving beer at the Billiken soccer games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 The savvis beer is expensive enough that, If I was of a mind to drink I'd hit a real bar somewhere close. I've had maybe three beers at the arena/savvis in all the years I've been following the bills. A great man once opined that happiness is a warm bush, not a warm Busch......
