New Gameday Regulations after Arrests

[NawlBennyDawg]

I wasn’t at the game, what caused all this to happen? I knew 7 people got arrested, just not sure what for. Anyway, they’ve changed a few things because of this:

Check the lengthy threads dating back from Saturday.

I hate to be glib like this— but the posts were pretty extensive.

 

[patdog]

How were any of these not part of the regulations from the beginning?

 

[ZombieKissinger]

Zac does listen!

 

[atomic dawg]

When people start calling to say they’ll pull support/stop buying tickets because they don’t feel safe with their kids at the game, that’ll get some attention.

I never saw any lengthy threads on this. Went back and looked through Sunday and still didn't see any.

About dam n time

 

[ckDOG]

Good. It's very easy to have a good time with a little act right and will continue to be. Hopefully this filters out some of the folks who take some flexibility too far.

If the behavior continues I’d be all for having to scan a ticket or student ID to enter campus on game day.

Based on these new rules I would surmise that a couple of neighboring tailgates got in an alcohol fueled dust-up over noise and/or tent site encroachment.

Shut down the borders!!!

This had to be done.

• No non-MSU-provided amplified music will be allowed in the Junction. TVs and radios will be allowed, but large speakers or elevated speakers will NOT be allowed.

I love this new rule. The frats have had huge speakers and really loud music for too long now. I like music too don't get me wrong, some people take it too damn far though.

Let them have their fun! What's next, banning grills and only allowing cold chicken fingers???**

There's a video circulating facebook showing a fight. Little more to it than that, chairs being the main weapon of choice in the short stint I saw. Pretty big crowd of people going at it.

I think this may be just the beginning of changes which is why they referenced reviewing the policies in 2024

 

[Shane of Pisgah]

Keenum said that for the final games of the 2023 season, the following new rules and procedures will be implemented:

• No non-MSU-provided amplified music will be allowed in the Junction. TVs and radios will be allowed, but large speakers or elevated speakers will NOT be allowed.

Where does one procure "MSU-provided music"?

Famous Maroon Band?

More likely an event that makes headlines for the wrong reasons.

 

[Duke Humphrey]

The stage in front of Dorman

 

[Mayor of Little London]

Didn’t leave him much of a choice. Had to be done.

 

[Shane of Pisgah]

So you think Keenum was like, "I'd like to see them try to twerk to marching band music"?

 

[tenureplan]

Twerking is still protected

 

[L4MANDW]

It was the mj toke smoke that did it…….

I didn't see "No Chandeliers."

So I guess WSP still won't come back to State

Let's not overreact, in the height of the Dak days, there'd be several thousand fans hang out in the junction during the game and watch it on TV. The stadium was full too. There were very few problems.

The measures put in place are sensible. It's a shame some folks can't live without regulation, that we're at that point in society.

 

[NawlBennyDawg]

"No Morgan Wallen"

 

[CochiseCowbell]

That's an MSU tradition though. Ask those 1927 OM students.

It really does smell awful and fair or not, in most people's mind, it changes the perception of the event from normal partying to something else. Combine that with loud explicit music and you pretty quickly make it an environment that a good number of paying fans are not going to like.

I certainly can't stand it. I know plenty of people that smoke or take edibles and I have no problem with it, but when I smell it in public, it immediately makes the area seem ten times trashier to me. Of course usually the people smoking in public are trashy, so that's probably a big part of it.

I'm not a prude about weed. I'm all for it in the privacy of your own home.

Doing it in public? Doing it while driving? Now your rights are infringing on my rights.

Definitely, If that’s what the group wants, I know the band could whip out some 1970s funk songs from their library. I’m sure the kids still get down to that.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I'm no Puritan, either & know many friends & family who partake in a variety of ways. I myself occasionally dabbled many moons ago.

But, weed smells like an old Craftsman lawnmower, that leaks oil, ran over dog ****, a dead skunk, & it was stored in a hot shed all summer long without emptying the bag. Then someone emptied the bag onto a campfire.

Heineken also tastes like weed smells.

Now that I have read this, I can't un-read it. It's like the world has opened up and given me a newer, deeper level of understanding about life.

 

[thatsbaseball]

When I was in school (late 60's early 70's) we had some concerts at the "cow barn" that there was absolutely no need to bring your own weed. All you had to do was breath.

I heard that they've put the SS in charge of security.

WTF ??
Seriously??
I know several people that come to tailgate and don’t have a ticket but may purchase one prior to the game or decide not to and sit out at their tailgate and watch on TV.
Nothing at all wrong about coming onto campus to enjoy the Gameday experience and have a good time without being an idiot or thug and 17-ing it up for everyone else.

Good for them for taking swift action. Gameday isn't spring break.
