"Spirit under the Stars
8:30 – 11:30 pm
Holmes Convocation Center
* This is the BIG event of the evening. Bring everyone you know to enjoy the Pep Rally, live band, food, and inflatables. There’s something for everyone, so don’t miss out! The bonfire and fireworks will be rescheduled for a later date"
This event has been moved to the Holmes Center, so does this cancel the beer Garden?

Not according to this. Looks like the Beer Garden is still on.

Re: "ApptoberFest" Alumni Beer Garden
Have been to several stadiums where beer was sold. Crowd appeared appreciative of the fact they could have a beer in the stadium. Also fans would come to the stadium earlier and not feel the need to slam down multiple beers before they come in. When you treat adults as adults, I believe the majority will behave as adults. Hard for me to believe this is discussed in Boone as many of us remember driving to Blowing Rock to purchase beer. That only made drinking more fun and did nothing to curb consumption.
