Suds at Bowen Field Enforces Age Rules with Wristbands
Security guards issue clear wristbands to buyers at the concession window and punch holes for every beer purchased, with a three drink limit per evening.

Abbie Cyphers of Indianapolis notes she bought her 10th beer at about 6:30 p.m., reflecting ballpark culture of hot dogs, casual drinking, and stadium rules.
