Improvements during MSU football games

A. Similar to other major Division I football stadium policies (West Virginia University,University of Minnesota), MSU should develop a plan to study the feasibility for a “no re-entry” policy for ticket holders during home football games. 

B. As part of this feasibility study, MSU should gather appropriate data that would assess the benefits and liabilities associated with selling beer in the non-club sections of the stadium.

C. This study should be started in Summer 2016 and be conducted by the Center for Health and Safety Culture at Montana State University.  The full CASAC should review the findings from this study in Spring 2017 and make a recommendation on any policy changes. 

D. If the decision is ever made to adopt a no re-entry policy and to implement beer sales in the non-club section of Bobcat Stadium, a portion of the new revenue generated from beer sales in the stadium will be donated to additional risk-reduction and alcohol educational programs for students at MSU.

E. The Commission fully endorses additional levels of enforcement of currently existing tailgating policies that reduce high risk drinking starting immediately.
