Most creative way you sneak booze into the stadium...
- Thread starter LionsandBear
- Start date
Back in the day (70's early 80's) guys at Pocono would buy an extra ticket to put a keg on there. I didn't start going until the 90's but this is the folklore I've heard from more than one person back then. Nobody even batted an eye as long as the seat was sold. It would be quite a hike with a full keg, the parking there is a lot like Beaver, spread out on grass. Cool story though true or not. I can certainly see it, having been there in the heyday.
@LionsandBear, can you post a picture of you wearing this “device” for the AKB if that’s the way you decide to go? Seems like a good choice.
I never worry about sneaking in booze I make sure I have enough at the tailgate. We use a shot clock to remind us when to drink 
FLAG - But many and maybe even most of the 1,000s of young ladies previously pictured here could easily smuggle in quarts or in some cases even gallons of booze in their fake boobs!
Perhaps you're not allowed to bring in food but otherwise, here's an idea.
Get a bag of chips, preferably one with silver coloring at the bottom, like Snyder's of Berlin. Open the bag of chips at the bottom, carefully so you don't mess up the bag too much. Empty out some chips from the bottom and then put your flask inside. Then, staple the bottom shut. The point of having a silver bag was so that the staples would blend in.
Then, put the bag of chips in a paper bag, bottom side down of course, with some other stuff you're bringing into the game. The only part that's detectable is the bottom of the chips bag, and even it has the staples blended in with the color of the bag and plus, depending on how you arrange it they may not be able to see the bottom of the chips bag when they look in your paper bag.

I have a friend who always puts 3 or 4 beers in the hood of his sweatshirt, when they scan with the metal detector they rarely go that high. At one of the games the detector went off, he said, “Oh you caught me” and reached in grabbed one can and threw it in the garbage.... that game he only had 3 beers!
I personally go the water bottle of fireball route. I tuck it in the small of my back most times. As the weather gets colder, it’s much less challenging. Airplane bottles are also pretty easy to smuggle in as well.

And I have some stadium pics that prove he has snuck in a ton of booze in his body!!I never worry about sneaking in booze I make sure I have enough at the tailgate. We use a shot clock to remind us when to drink
The search for booze at the gate was fairly perfunctory back then. You’d open your coat and get waved through. It was a simple matter to hide a fifth inside the back of your pants.
A) The only liquid I would sneak in is a double soy skinny latte
and
B) Why sneak liquid in at all. It's sooooo 1988. One bite of a special brownie before you walk to the stadium makes the referines so much more tolerable.

Late 70s typical run to the liquor store onWesterly Parkway cases of Bacardi pints behind the counter. Zero problem getting it into the stadium Bacardi and Coke yum
At NCAA tournament games, I’ve put the plastic flask in the front of my pants, with the belt holding it in place. The majority of the flask is in an area they aren’t touching, and they’ve never come close to touching the part above the belt. Now, we had liquor in there that we’d put in the freezer the night before, so that presented a different concern.
As a kid back in the 70's I was the mule for my older brother and his friends. I'd have so many Rolling Rock Ponies stuffed in my overalls that I clinked when I walked!
Don’t even know if these exist anymore, but I had a pair of “barnoculars” during my college days, which worked like a charm. Never had them checked, although that may not be the case these days.
BAC were your pals Ray, Brian and Irv? If not, they appropriated some other frat's ingenuity and made it theirs.
Saw a guy pouring drinks from his binoculars a couple years ago in the North Upper Deck. I would say it is fairly easy to sneak booze in still, especially when the weather is bad. I have experienced folks with bottles beer, cans, etc. The only thing is it depends on the people sitting around you and how they will react. Some people don't give a crap. Others I have seen people go nuts and get the folks that smuggle booze in kicked out. My advice is be discrete with it when you get in there.
Why do Debbie Downers try and get the smugglers kicked out? It's all in fun.

We had a soda vendor, that worked our section, that would shout " mixers" instead of Coca - Cola.
You're a corrections officer at a prison and asking the AKB board how to smuggle in contraband? Hint: Think like an inmate.
From my observations, it is usually moms that have had the same seats for many many years, that get the smugglers kicked out.
Nope. And I might be wrong about which game. Some things from back then remain a blur, if you catch my drift.
It was such a well kept "secret" that one Pepsi vendor would shout "Get your mixers here!" Another good-old-days memory that I miss from the 80s.
half filled poland spring bottle with the air pushed out tucked into the pants worked every time.
You could also get away with these for September games. Not sure what the capacity per sandal is.

Just a story about Dad circa 1980’s before all the security, he loaded up with small glass nips in all his pockets. He sounded like a f..king wind chime as he left the van. Often we’d have to meet him staggering around parking lot looking for the van. We’d only find him after lots cleared out. The next morning after an ND game he got up early, bought a CDT , returned to apartment, held paper up and announced “We Won”. First he heard! RIP Dad.
I will do you one better. I have seen a picture from a guy I know who was a student manager about that time, so he was on the sideline and took the picture. It was the Halloween game, and another student was on the sideline (not sure in what capacity) and was dressed up as Santa. Santa had his sack with him with a 1/4 keg inside.
LOl...that is funny. I went to a playoff game against the Bills (I know, several decades ago) and my browns fan friend brought a box of dog bones. We walked around and slid them into their coat pockets when they weren't paying attention. We got a kick out of them, some day down the road, slipping their hands into their pockets and finding a dog bone with "browns" stamped on it.
I attended during an era where they'd ask you to open your coat to visually look, but wouldn't pat you down or run a metal detector. In winter we'd have heavy coats on and would simply line both sleeves from shoulder to wrist with beer cans. It was an easy way to sneak in quite a few.
Can’t he just put it in his prison wallet like the inmates do? Better bring some hand sanitizers though.You're a corrections officer at a prison and asking the AKB board how to smuggle in contraband? Hint: Think like an inmate.
Had the same thing happen 76 while I was a guard in section NA. Didn’t turn out do well for the guys however, when one decided to relieve himself over side and into the wind. Police resolved the issue.
