Oh yeah, SMU locked it down a bit this year but no alcohol ban. Since a lot of this is first-year policy there's no way to know yet how much they'll enforce. A good friend of mine works for the police department and said as long as you're not acting a fool, they'll probably leave you alone. BUT, this is the new guidelines for tailgating at the Boulevard:
- Fans that choose to consume alcohol prior to the game must follow these guidelines:
- For Boulevard holders with guests of legal drinking age, alcohol consumption is allowed while tailgating in designated areas on the SMU campus. Individuals must provide their own alcohol.
- Alcohol must be served in self-provided paper or plastic cups. For safety reasons, open containers, kegs, and glass bottles are not allowed.
- No liquor. Beer and wine are permitted.
- The sale of alcohol on the SMU campus is not allowed.
- SMU affiliated student and alumni organizations/schools and corporate and visiting team hospitality tents require a minimum of two officially licensed bartenders from the SMU Athletics' concessionaire.
- Responsible and appropriate behavior is required when consuming alcohol on the SMU campus. Inappropriate behavior may result in sanctions by law enforcement authorities and forfeitures of tailgating privileges.
