Well our state has two Super-Sectional Boy's Tournament games (the level that determines who goes to the Final 8 or State Finals Tournament) at the United Center in Chicago where the Bulls play. For some reason they have Liquor Ads on the electronic screen going around the stadium while these games are going on. Of course they cannot sell liquor at these games. But when the Big Ten Men's Tournament is going on in the same building about a week later, you cannot find any signs of liquor ads in the arena. Now at the Big Ten Tournament they do sell liquor in a bar in the stadium, but you cannot leave this small area with your drink. So you cannot walk around the concourse at all with any alcoholic beverage at any time during the Big Ten event. I just find it funny that it is OK to advertise to a bunch of kids that are in HS, but you cannot advertise to a bunch of adults in the same arena with mostly adults in attendance.
Funny how the world works I guess.
