Thanks, Abdul.

Suites. Get a job losers.

When there was cold weather I would stuff a flask into each of these gloves that I had. Fit perfectly. Then, I just held the gloves in my hand and walked in.

When it was warm, always stuffed the flask in the front of my pants, tightened my belt and just walked in. Or used my gf's purse and made sure she had several tampons in there. No one likes searching through those.

Back in the day, there was no tailgating at LSU--wasn't banned, we just didn't do it except a few old timers only in the west parking lot.

Students (pledges) would sit outside the stadium to save seats for actives. This started at 10 am or so, until the gates opened at 530. You couldn't leave, so you'd drink a fifth of whatever and get 'faced with your date.

At game time you'd take your other fifth, covered completely inside a paper bag, and flash your student i.d. briefly at the guard as you entered the stadium in a mad rush with 10,000 other students. In the stadium you'd mix drinks openly from your fifth. After the game, if you glanced around the stadium, it looked like a dumpster from behind a liquor store had disgorged its contents everywhere--bottles, cups, ice, etc.

Perhaps this is why I don't have very many specific memories of games back then.

This is the way I remember it. In the 80s, they started to crack down. First, it was no glass. So people would fill plastic jugs with jungle juice and bring that in. It wasn't until the mid-80s that you had to try to hide it, and, even then, you didn't have to try hard.

take an empty water bottle fill half up with booze, squeeze the air out and down the front of pants

too many of these^. I swear for every good cop there are at least 10 bad ones and the LA state troopers are the worst

I've snuck alcohol into games at LSU and UGA and I can tell you that when it comes to power-tripping cops, UGA university police are the worst.

My senior year at UGA, I was using my floppy flask (same thing as the freedom flask) which usually works just fine. I was stopped by a GBI officer (because they UGA needs extra help for gamedays). He found it but was cool enough to just take it and let me go into the game.

But then a UGA cop comes up to the scene, treats me like a damn terrorist, confiscates my student ID and kicks me out of the game. The whole time he's giving me blunt, abrasive orders despite the fact that I never put up any resistance at any point. a-hole.

Why do you need whiskey to watch a game, have you not realized that Gary Crowton is at Maryland?

Back when we had the dark overlay uniforms, I snuck in a couple of flask for friends and met them at the concession stand after we got into the stands.

May not work well in the student section, but I've been doing this every game for years in the NEZ.
