There is very little research available for facility managers to use to develop an alcohol management policy at their varsity football games. The purpose of this study was to discover which criteria were most often used in alcohol management policies at Mid-American Conference football games. After reviewing the literature, it was clear that there is a growing problem managing alcohol at college football games in and around the stadium. Riots and other acts of vandalism have become more and more commonplace across the county. These acts can cost a university thousands of dollars as well as expose the university to unwanted negative publicity.The researcher created a questionnaire based on a possible criteria used to manage alcohol, and alcohol related problems. Participants for the study were the facility administrators at Mid-American Conference schools. Research revealed that the searching of bags was the most commonly method used to prevent alcohol from being brought into the stadium. To prevent minors from drinking in tailgating areas, the most commonly used method was uniformed police officers. The use of uniformed police officers was the most common method to prevent alcohol consumption in alcohol free tailgating areas.
