The U of I at Springfield's Sangamon Auditorium keeps the drink factor fairly low-keyed, says Stephen Chrans, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs. Apart from sporting events and family matinees, the bar is usually open for business in the lobby area before shows and during intermissions.
Since that usually amounts to only a half-hour tops, the full bar service doesn't have time to allow patrons to over-indulge, says Chrans.
Chrans' comments were featured in a March 18, 2010, article in the Bloomington Pantagraph.
