SUDS THUD AT ARENA NAMED AFTER BREWING COMPANY: UPI reports that Colorado University, 11 years after banning beer sales at football home games, has done the same thing for its basketball games venue.

At least for us, nothing is funny about an alcohol embargo at ballgames - except when the affected arena is named after a beer company - Coors Events Center.

Not surprisingly, Colorado had been the only school in the Big 12 Conference to continue to allow beer sales during basketball games. Maybe some Buffaloes fans we’re concerned about their safety on the drive home after the game.
