Just an observation from an old timer but I walked around the stadium just to check out the tailgating scene in comparison to what TS offered back in the day.One thing was evident, and this from one who still enjoys his Irish whisky, is that I saw huge, huge crowds that were smashed. Hours before kickoff. Does anyone expect "a drunk" to sit for 3 hrs watching a football game? Don't get me wrong, we smuggled whisky into TS with the best of them. But we were not stumbling drunks before the game even started.

This. And so much this.

LSU fans beat their chest about how great the tailgating atmosphere is before the game and they’re totally right. It’s a truly unique experience. But it has become “the event” while the game itself is secondary.

Great post and so true. Alcoholics all over the place and it's sad. I'm there with my 11 year old and you can't even throw a piss balloon at the opponents fans without drunks calling attention to it. Why can't people just consume in moderation
