Incoming Eliot House Committee President Emily R. Murphy '03 said banning kegs would permanently change the nature of the Harvard-Yale Game.
"Part of the reason so many people come out for The Game is because it turns into a social thing," she said. "Banning kegs will kill a lot of the spirit that comes out during The Game--banning kegs would basically equal no tailgate."
"There were some concerns, problems with Yale students and alumni as well as Harvard [students and alumni]," Chipman said. "In general, I think you'd find over the history of college campuses that banning kegs does have a [positive] effect."
Harvard University Police Department spokesperson Peggy A. McNamara refused to comment about the presence of alcohol at any tailgates, but maintained that "no alcoholic beverages are allowed at any athletic event or any of the athletic facilities." The rules stem from an athletic department policy banning kegs at athletic events...
But he said he is not sure that banning kegs is an effective way to discourage excessive drinking, arguing that "a bottle of vodka can do more damage."
