    i guess its league wide now I heard it was first only at the Palace because of the brawl. I dont have any problems with that I dont buy beer at games usually cuz they are waaay too expensive for me.

    I think they did this already at the FedEx Forum in Memphis. I am not really sure so if candycane reads this maybe she can give a sure answer.

    Well, I know they've been announcing last call towards the end of the 3rd quarter the last two games I've been to but I don't drink beer. The mix drinks are expensive and weak as well...

    You are correct. It's been in effect for at least 2 months.

    I read the guidelines. I have a question. It said something about a maximum of 2 beers per fan. Do they mean 2 beers the entire night or 2 at a time.

    That's a league-wide rule. In college I sold beer at Cardinals games and you couldn't buy a bear after the top of the 7th 2 miles away from the main brewery.

    Being close to Vin Baker's fumes can bring you over the DUI limit.
