Had to stop by the Pub while at the game last night. Got to the game about 15 minutes, so wanted to give it a try. Certainly need TVs in there so you can see the game, because without them you can't see shit unless from that first row. Thought it was pretty busy there. We quickly had our beers & headed off to our seats. Glad to see this a part of the Ryan Center. Certainly should bring in some money. Hopefully some of that goes to the Athletic Department.

I think it is working out well so far. Only problem other than TV's is that there isn't enough room for all the people trying to get in. Huge amount of people couldn't get in last night. They should push to add another area on the other side of the arena.

It looked like they had the other end blocked off for a private party. It seems the obvious solution would be to keep the Alumni Lounge open for alcohol sales during the game as well as having the Rhody Pub. My understanding is it's only open pregame and halftime, which seems nonsensical on a few levels.

The taps are open at URI basketball games

By Stephanie Turaj
Staff Writer

SOUTH KINGSTOWN — Beer and wine are being served during the University of Rhode Island men’s basketball games at the Thomas M. Ryan Center in Kingston.

Beer and wine are available in the Rhody Pub, a sectioned-off area of the Ryan Center’s South Concourse. The service began last week at the University of Rhode Island vs. Fordham University game.

The Ryan Center is owned by the University of Rhode Island and the 7,800-seat facility is home to the Men’s and Women’s Basketball programs, and hosts university-sponsored concerts and events, as well as those for the general public. The center is managed by Global Spectrum, a private venue management company.

Since joining URI in 2009, President David M. Dooley has allowed for a campus-wide review of alcohol policies, a departure from his predecessor, Robert L. Carothers, who banned alcohol at university functions. Since 2009, URI has allowed the sale of alcohol in specific, regulated areas at football games, and allowed it in the luxury suites and alumni room at the Ryan Center.

Global Spectrum officials said adding beer and wine sales to men’s basketball games is among recent “fan experience” improvements, which included installing LED scoreboards and updating concessions.

“After careful research of other [Atlantic 10] schools, competitors in our market including Providence College and other universities across the nation, Global Spectrum, along with URI Athletics and university administration, determined the next step in enhancing our fans’ experience was to offer beer and wine sales to the general public in a controlled, sectioned-off area of the South Concourse,” Ryan Center General Manager Leah Becki said in a statement.

Liquor sales in Rhody Pub begin when doors open (one hour prior to tip-off) and close five game minutes into the second half of the game. Patrons must be 21 or older to enter the pub and receive a wristband upon entry. Seats in the area are limited to approximately 100 spots, so those who leave the pub are not guaranteed re-entry, officials said. This area was chosen because of its distance from the student section, officials said.

Matt Moeller, director of marketing, said the Rhody Pub has been used in the past for concerts, and liquor service is determined on an “event-by-event” basis.

“While our men’s basketball game versus Fordham marked the first men’s basketball game we have served beer and wine to the general public, Global Spectrum management staff at the Ryan Center has successfully implemented beer and wine sales to the general public at nine previous Ryan Center events over the past two years with zero alcohol related arrests and zero hospital transports during those events,” Becki said in a statement.

Huh? If it's a blocked off area and IDs are checked, what the heck does that have to do with the student section?

A 21 year old student can leave the student section and legally buy and consume a beer in the Rhody Pub and then go back to the student section with a tummy full of beer.

Secondly, the students also sit immediately in front of the Rhody Pub in the South end zone as well.

Yeah, but this is still pretty dumb. If a student is 21 they can get a beer. The price will probably dissuade most students anyway.

I just thought it was a line that didn't need to be in the article. They didn't actually chose that side because it was away from the primary North student section -- they selected it because that's where there was enough space to stage the Pub without causing concourse congestion.

It's also just kind of funny to think that a walk across the arena (if that was even the case) is going to stop a kid from getting a beer if he wants one. We were quite creative and worked much harder than that to get a beer when we wanted one as students.

You mean like climbing onto the roof at Keaney, and climbing into the (already cracked open) vent windows at the top of the arena, with a 50/50 mix of rum and Pepsi 16oz plastic bottle in the waistband?

As I did for the Nebraska game.. I brought in the "pocket pub" filled w Tito's.

I am not an alchy (1st stage: denial.. LOL).. But I do appreciate a beverage to calm my nerves while watching a game..

I walked by the Rhoda pub.. While I am appreciative of the option.. It seemed like 2 much work 4 me

There was a line.. The attendants were slow..

I mean.. I just want to walk up to a station; grab a beer; then get back 2 my seat

Again tho.. I am appreciative and some beer is better than no beers

At halftime I did try for a dunkin donuts.. Waited in line of 40 deep for 2 mins before I bailed

What a nightmare

Yeah good point, I would be willing to bet that in 2002 I could have gotten me and 3 friends drunk for $6.50.

Trillium is excellent. Foolproof has some great beers but some that are only meh. There is also Proclamation Ale Co. about one mile from the Ryan Center which makes RI's best beer.

I'm by no means a beer fan (if I drink it-- it's probably Bud Light, Miller Lite or a Stella) and that's okay since I'm a girl. However, I've been to Whaler's Brewery which located in the mill complex in Peace Dale. They've been getting really good reviews, too. I talked to the guy who opened it with his friend, and at least one of them graduated from URI only a few years ago.

Another note to EZ: what's the sense of having the gun shoot stuff into the 100 sections. Even you can throw something that far. I don't need a shirt or a ball but there's little kids in the 300s who would love to get one and have no chance.

As mentioned before, for safety reasons, they can't shoot the gun up into the 300's.

I believe EZ mentioned before that it's a safety issue. Dont want anyone falling over the railings trying to catch a tshirt. Should find another way to get them some swag.

When they do come up, which is not that often, it's usually one person with one t-shirt who stands in the aisle between two sections. Good luck with a kid walking out with something. Also the parachutes don't reach the 300's either. On the other hand, there aren't many kids in my section.

Everyone did a solid job echoing my previous explanations...can't shoot or throw anything into 300's from the court so we are limited to 100's & 200's.

Ramettes or Cheerleaders should be in the 300's for minute of mayhem to get some kids some stuff. I will make sure it happens today.

Love Badfinger. Did you know half the group committed suicide?
Paul McCartney got them into Apple Records and helped with their

Raspberries were good too. Eric Carmen was their lead singer.
Oddly, the Outfield were from England. Is there an outfield in cricket?

Baby Blue was used in the departed movie as I recall. Day after day, Baby Blue, Come and get it, No Matter What = classics. Lots of kicking guitar!!

Waaaay off topic but for any of you other guitar players out there there is a killer YouTube video out there where a guy covers the entire Pete Ham bit from Baby Blue on a vintage Les Paul sunburst. If you are into guitar it will give you goosebumps

When EZ was yelling at the fans in the north endzone, he was pissed, seriously pissed. A bunch of the students were in shock. Many of them popped him the bird when he turned his back. But 10 minutes later, every one of them were on their feet screaming. I was in section 112, so I had a great view of this exchange. Great job by EZ.
