The LSU Tigers will take a trip to upstate New York this weekend to play the Syracuse Orange at the Carrier Dome, but some fans have concerns regarding something besides the game.
Per a report from Ross Kelly of CBS, citing one by Nate Fink of Syracuse.com, Jason Razeman, VP of LSU’s alumni association, is worried that with approximately 7,500 LSU fans making the trip up north for the game, that there won’t be enough alcohol to go around for the pregame celebration, during the game, and then afterward.
“I’ve gone places in the past where they’ve run out (of alcohol). They might meet their alcohol budget for the year. Tailgating at LSU is a science and it’s a religion, and in the fall, it’s almost better than the game…When we went up there we said, ‘Oh this is going to be interesting. There is not a lot of space.’ It’ll be different.”
Clearly, Razeman and many LSU fans have not spent a lot of time in upstate New York. Though not as much of a football mecca as Baton Rouge or any other cities or towns that host SEC schools, the town of Syracuse (and upstate New York in general) is one that can DRINK, so having plenty of alcohol for certain events is planned well in advance.
Thus, if LSU is so worried about the community running out of alcohol, perhaps they should pick some up at the duty free shop at the airport. You know, just in case!
Kickoff is slated for Noon ET on ESPN this Saturday.
