thanks for the "Check BAC Gate - blood alcohol content article". that approach once people are at the actual stadium seems justified to me. that being said i hope officers (especially those from outside minneapolis and/or the U of M) working the games back on-campus don't get too over-zealous in their work. i understand the line that a cop has to "do his job", but they also need to remember next year to let people (especially in the tailgate lots) to have a good time as long as they aren't harming anyone. otherwise you are going to piss off a lot of people who just want to have a good time tailgating and not have to deal with an over-the-top, buzz cut officer from stickville who thinks he needs to be a "bad ass" about each and everything little thing he sees or perceives that he saw.
So are the Breathalyzers only for students with previous citations? The real question is how strict they'll be. Is it zero tolerance or .08 or something else?
Correct, you have to have been previous cited or caused a problem for your ticket to be flagged. So long as you don't aren't falling over drunk, get in a fight, or vomit all over yourself at a game you'll probably be ok. There are too many people in the stadium for them to go looking for drunk people.
Just don't do anything to get noticed and you'll be fine.
Once you have been flagged I believe it's a zero tolerance. (I know that if you are under 21 and get flagged you must blow a .000--not 100% sure what the policy is if you are 21+.)
agreed-- let's hope that the University instructs their folks at the gates to be reasonable with the students.
I thought a previous article said zero-tolerance for underagers and under legal limit for 21+. Might have been the STrib article?
