Alcohol sales at ULM athletic events have proven to be an instant financial success. The student section at football games consumed hundreds of beer cups per game.

“It’s not a bad thing for a college student to enjoy a beer or two during the game,” said senior kenisiology student, Austin Emfinger.

“I think it’s great for people who can control their alchohol and know their limits,” Emfinger said.

There were no reported incidents directly related to the purchasing of beer and wine at games. Though, as with any other place where alcohol is being consumed, people tend to get a bit rowdy.

“Some people took it overboard and were so drunk that they were annoying other people trying to watch the game,” Emfinger said.

Overall, the sales were positive for ULM, gaining the athletic department $6,385.83.

“The money is going to be spent anyways. It might as well be towards the greatest university in in Louisiana,” Emfinger said.
