coog4life Posted October 3, 2010 Report Posted October 3, 2010 How many people had to tolerate smoking and drinking at the Lamar game tonight? I have talked to several people who either had people already drunk around them or in our case they just broke out the vodka bottles and just started pouring drinks right there in the stands. Told security about it and nothing was done. Was told that they would take care of it. Stuck around to watch and see and they just watched the game. So much for a fun night for the whole family. When security blew us off we just left. Thanks Lamar for a great 1st experience....NOT Signed....never going again
braves24 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Posted October 3, 2010 Well, I enjoyed the experience..and didn't see anyone drinking or smoking.
bigred360 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Posted October 3, 2010 With over 17,000 at the game there is always someone with a complaint. ::)
theyoungballcoach Posted October 3, 2010 Report Posted October 3, 2010 All the fans I see were great despite the score. Dont let a few bad fans stop you from going the game.
TradinUp BH Posted October 3, 2010 Report Posted October 3, 2010 Are you sure they were drunk or just having a good time? Try going to an LSU game.
tyree Posted October 3, 2010 Report Posted October 3, 2010 I was on the pressbox side and so no bad behavior at all. Also, I saw many families with children having a great time, especially during half-time with the band and fireworks. Kudos to Simmons, Tubbs, et al for bringing this type of collegiate experience to The Golden Triangle. As soon as we get a couple of senior classes, I think we'll be fine on the field as well.
Bucof2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Posted October 3, 2010 You didn't expect drinking at a college game?

Bucof2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 This thread definitely isn't going how the ceator envisioned lol
NorthoftheBorder Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 I would agree with you sir, if that was going on around me I would feel exactly like you do. I suggest you get in touch with Dr. Simmons office and relay your concerns. If smoking & drinking is prohibited in the stadium then something should be done about that. I think you will get some action if you do call. The drinking at the tailgating will not be stopped but inebreated fans who are out of control need to be sent home to sleep it off. I had a gentlemen who had definately had a little too much sitting by me at the first game, and albeit he was a little bit over the top, he was not out of control to the point that it had to be handled.
LUFAN Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 If someone was sitting near me smoking I would have gone off... And if the rent a cops would not handle it I would have found a cop that was at the game to handle it!

AshlyHasBeen Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Yeah I would speak up immediatly or contact a security guard to come over. Gotta expect there to be some rowdiness. Try going to any major university to watch a game. P.S. Lamar fans (and I went to Lamar) it's ok to yell and get rowdy, I can take a nap sometimes while I'm on the field.
TradinUp BH Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 The fans need to stay rowdy IMO. There should be that atmosphere for visiting teams that playing at LU will be loud and wild. Just as long as there are no fights in the crowd, I say get wild and crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Go LU
skyhcky Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 I know this is an old thread but maybe this will help the OPer. The Security Officers (aka Rent a cops) aren't paid enough to handle things like this. It's why they have on vests with USHER on the back. However, Lamar has police officers walking around and those guys have no problems handling situations like this. So find the guys dressed in black and they will be glad to help. Go LU!!!!

Michele Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 My family and I have attendend every home game so far.... not one sign, and I repeat, NOT ONE sign of anyone drunk, high, or acting too rowdy. It has been a very pleasant atmosphere eah visit and definitely a place where you could bring the family.
