New York Rangers Could Become the First NHL Team to Ban Alcohol

BY AARON
There's nothing like sitting down with a cold beer at a sports event. The two go hand in hand, but there are very obvious consequences to over-consumption of alcohol.

This considered, it is a big moneymaker for teams, and fans truly do love it.

The New York Rangers have been threatened by the New York State Liquor Authority after issues with owner James Dolan's company's facial recognition software.

Dolan isn't afraid to throw words, and he essentially responded as such:


Dolan said of the situation: The SLA is way, way beyond their skis...they're being extremely aggressive and they're saying 'We're going to take away your liquor license.' So I have a little surprise for them. What we're gonna do, right, is we're going to pick a night, maybe a Rangers game, and we're gonna shut down all the liquor and alcohol in the building.

In typical Dolan fashion, he added that "they would post flyers at stations where beer is normally sold that feature a picture of State Liquor Authority CEO Sharif Kabir, which will include his email and phone number, and he would instruct fans to 'tell [Kabir] to stick to his knitting and to do what he's supposed to be doing.'"


Dolan is a very wealthy man, and a few games without alcohol shouldn't be a big issue for him. For the fans, however? This will be a very odd experience for the next couple of games.
