THE NEWS Page 4 Page 16 Tailgating tradition continues By RAOUL BIRON STAFF WRITER What was the score to the game? For many students and alumni, the most important part of the home- coming game isn’t the football, but the tailgate. “I think it means more to me now that I’m an alum because it’s a chance to get back into the college atmosphere for the weekend and it’s a good way to get together with people I haven’t seen since graduation,” said Kelly Hunt, a member of the class of 2015. The college atmosphere was hard to avoid as cars and throngs of people made Boulder Field unrecog- nizable on Saturday morning. Even UNH’s football game against Elon University well underway, the crowd on the farthest end of the field seemed to grow. The sounds of music blaring from car after car and beer cans getting crushed almost fully obscured the marching band and stadium announcer. Police cars and beer bongs don’t often mix, but on the field alumni from as far back as the class of ‘72 passed Solo cups and bottles back and forth with students. Students over the age of 21 could not bring alcohol in by hand and were given bracelets with clear instructions upon entering the field: “Alcohol consumption must end at the end of halftime.” Alcohol was only permissable if driven in by car. “I went to the tailgate because it’s tradition and it’s good to see all of the alumni. I will probably go once I’ve graduated, assuming I’m near enough to make it, but not if they keep making it stricter every year,” said Lauren Beck, a UNH senior. While the presence of alcohol was unavoidable and virtually impossible to truly regulate, students and COURTESY OF STEPHANIE BREWSTER alumni alike found ways of making the party their own.

Non-student tickets were unusually hard to come by for alumni, so leaving behind a wake of tire tracks, Solo cups and other unrecognizable pieces of trash, many chose to reunite in Dur- ham’s bars instead of an extended tailgate.
