They sell beer at the RPI/Union game. Not sure about an NCAA tournament even though.

Re: Albany Regional Weekend
Lowell led Hockey East in attendance this year without having the biggest arena or student population. If the league was really worried about attendance in the NCAA Tournament they’d take a few pages out of Lowell’s book. Keep prices low, reward your best customers with promotions, partner locally, let college students in for free or very cheap and sell beer!

Re: Albany Regional Weekend
The insurance on selling beer is gotta be high. Underage drinking a problem at the arena? friends buying friends beer? Just curious how they do it. I like the rest of what your saying. The college students are the ones who bring the atmosphere to an arena

Re: Albany Regional Weekend
This place is great, everytime you order a drink you get a "free" pizza with it, the size of a paper plate. For someone like me, I go as the DD, and I eat for free.
Also, go upstairs and ride the mechanical bull (Pictures need to be posted here please) and try to break the record. Just be careful, parking is very limited, and with the construction of the new Albany Convention Center, it's even more limited than normal.

Re: Albany Regional Weekend
Have never seen or heard it being an issue at Tsongas Center. As soon as Meehan became Chancellor several years ago, he immediately implemented alcohol sales for the UML games as the previous Chancellor had never allowed it. Meehan saw the revenue potential as well. He also implemented the free admission with student id which provided a huge boost as well.

Re: Albany Regional Weekend
This place looks like way more fun than where Lowell is at the Pearl Street Pub starting at 4:00. May have to stop by as anticipating being in Albany around 2:30 Saturday.

Re: Albany Regional Weekend
It's definitely never been a problem at the Tsongas. They card just about everybody without exception at the beer stands (I've seen them card a guy who was definitely 60+) and there are dedicated "Alcohol Compliance" staff.
About the only "problem" I've seen is there's a guy who's probably 45 or so who sits near me who occasionally has a beer or three too many and then starts shouting truly nonsense complaints at the refs.

Re: Albany Regional Weekend
Another cool place to check out is the Merry Monk. Pretty extensive beer selection including several different bottled beers from the US and Europe. Really good food,try the Mussels. It's down a block from the Pearl Street Pub going away from the arena.

Re: Albany Regional Weekend
They have an upstairs there? From the looks of it, that's where this place used to be, can't remember the name of it, was like a 1920's gangster/jail-themed name. The Hoosegow, or Iron Bar, or something like that. That was a decent place, although looking at the Monk's beer list, it looks a bit more upscale than the old place was.
Ah, just remembered it. It was called The Big House.
