Sales/Consump Bicenter
rlcohol¡CMB Sales and Consumption at the B.C.
For City Commission Focus Session 12/7/87
There appear to be three main cptions that ran be examined
regarding alcohol and CMB (Cereal Malt Beverage); use at the ~alina
Bicentenni~l Center. Each of the options represents just the core
possibility, since there could be many variations stemming from the main
rcsition.
1.
2.
Ban the sales and consumption of all alcohol/CMP
Ban the sales of all alcohol/CMB, permit the consumption of
same.
Permit sales and consunlption of alcohol/CMB at certain events,
which wDuld be a continuation of the present policy.
3.
gapning the sales and consl!mption of alcohol/CMB or the facility's property
This option would be the Easiest to enforce. The fê:cility staff
would not have to dehate various considerations on each event, and the
rule would be simple to explain to clients. It would also shift most of
the liability from the City to the individual. If a person becomes
intoxicated while at an event held at the Bicentennial Center, the
facility would not usually be held responsible f~r this perscn's actions
after leaving the building, if the venue did not allow the consumption
of alcohol/C~1B on its pi'orerty. There is, of course, the possibility
that the facility could face some liability if the case was made that
the staff was derel1ct in efforts to total1y keep liquor out of the
puilding or that the patrcr WâS not spotted and detained before
leaving. 1his possihility, bcwever, is remote.
Thi s bar. waul d have an impact on the fð.ci 1 ity find the communi ty in
a number of ways. Most concerts have Fecd Riders, meal/drink
requirements for the band and crew tb~t are to be catered in the
backstag~ dressing rooms. I have included a partial copy of the 19R3
Barry Manilow Rider and the 1926 Loverboy Rider. These are fairly
typical of what is commol1 in the lndustry for most entertainers. A
total ban would. of course, apply to these areas of the building and
viewing our small overall impact (on a national level) regarding
concerts, I believe that thi~ would just about finish all concert
activity here.
Another problem would be the loss of revenue. Revenue currenUy
received from the sale of CMB averages about $35,000 per year in high
net dollars.
There is an adciitional $14,000 - $20,000 in revenue generated by
tar service at t~e Bicentennial Center. This figure varies widely from
year to year, but in 1986 $13,315 in bar service was received. This
5ervice is a charge for the mixing and dispensing of alcoholic
Page 2
heverages, but not the sale of alcoholic beverages. Prior to the
changes in the State laws, mixed drinks rculd be served at private
events, i.e. socials, conventions, private parties! etc., provided there
was no c~çrge for the alocholic beverage, which had to be donò.ted. T~e
B.C. would provide bartenders, glasses, mix etc. for a flat fee of x$
pel' person, the liquor" would be delivered to the Center staff and only
the client would be bi11ed for the service. rurrently, about one-half
of all the conventions and tradeshDw5 that are hosted here ~Rve alcohol
or CMB served. This trend is most likely to increase since many of
these events have wanted cash bars available in the past, which State law
previously prohibited u~ frcn, providing. There is no way to élccurately
predict how many of these events would no longer be held here if a
strict ban on consumption was imposed, but our opinion is that a
significant number would choose alternate sites.
BanninG the sales of alcohol/CMB while permitting their consumption
This would elinlinate any direct salE~ of alcohol;CMR in the
building, but would allow for the corsumption of alcohol and/or C~B.
The rules governing this option would need to be qu~te specif4c,
allowing, for example, entertainers to consume alcohol in their dressing
areas but not allowing the General public to bring ir bottles. We would
still be able to serve most of our clients with bar service as we have
in the past--they provide the liquor and we mix the drinks.
This method would not greatly relieve our liability in the ca5e of
accidents arising from impairment. It Voiould not be rruch diffE~r'ent than
the operation of the facility prior to the State law changes on
alcohol. We would, however, no longer have the sale of CMR. The
revenue from sales would be down, but the overall impact ftom t: total
ba~ ~ould be reduced.
Permitting the sales and consumption of alcohol/CMB at certain everts
This wol!ld be a compromise between a total ban on consumption and
sales and allowif'ç' consumption and sales at a11 events. Very specific
yet easy to understand rules would need to he applied for the
inlplementation of this type of policy. We could allow west of the
events that have had alcohol/CMP at their functions to continue to be
hosted here, a~suming the policy was so geared. This would, in essence,
he a continuation of our current policy.
A further question of t~e sale of alcoholic beverages would also
need to be addressed in this situation. Effective July 1, 1987 the State
liqucr laws underwent major changes. These changes have had ~n impact on
th~ Bicentennial Center that has not a~ of yet been totally felt. The
Topeka Expo Center and Century IT in Wichita have both arrlied for or
received liquor licensing. We have had to surreDder our r~B 1icense so
that alcohol could be served in the arena and we must use either a
temporary permit or a caterer's license when selling mixed drinks or CMB.
This places us really at the mercy of the l~cerse holders. So the
question o~ serving alcohol/CMB and consu~ing the same also brings thE
question of "if and how to~ license the facility tor the sales of
alcohol and CMB.
Page 3
We have so far only scratched the surface of the diverse
consideratiors that must be exarnineð when considering the i55~e of
alcohol/CMB at the Bicentennial Center.
Sponsorship
The 1987 KU scrimmage ",as sponsored by Mi 11 er Beer and ther(; ,;¡as a
Miller beer social prior to th:; scrimmage. The Oktoherfest -is sponsored
by Lowenbrau, the IPRA Nation¿l Rodeo Finals has Coors as a sponsor and
like Lowenbrau, they are involved with direct sales during the event.
Finally, most of th~ ~otor sports that come to the Center have beer
sponsors. How ~i'l this decision affect the sponsorship of events?
Wi': it m~ke a difference if beer sales are not allowed to be sponsors?
liability, morality and finances
Liability will probably continue to be a major consider?tion with
01" without the presence of alcohol/C~1B. Naturally, everythin9 that can
be done to le5sen the risk is helpful, but the Bicentennial Center
can rot be totall} insulated from the risks of legal action. Banning of
sales and consumption usually increases the level of alcohol that is
smuggled into the building. This very often increé!scs intoxication and
adds to the potential problem of personal injury by thrown bottles.
Thus far the only serious injuries happened in 1984 when a couple wa~
struck by a bottle thrown from the upper ievel seat~ \'.rhile viE~wing an
REO ccncert.
In talking to Sam Fulco. manager of the Kansas Coliseum, he agrees
that the amount of bottl es found after non-beer sale events i ': greater
than at concerts where beer is served. 1his is far from scientific fact
because of a number o~ factors. lhe Kansas Coliseum does ~ot serve beer
a~ "rock" concerts. Since yeung people tend to drink more heavily than
û~der people. it stands to reason th~~ there would be more bottles
following a beerless t'ock concert; than aftet' ô Kenny Roger' s performance
that had beer sales. Sam Fulco believes this policy has helped keep
young peop!e from being injured. Still the Coliseum has had -its share
of on-site injuries and suits related to impairment even without the
sale of CMB.
The Coliseum management decides whether to sell beer or not in large
part by the overall age of the audience for a '!rock" concert. Tina
Turrler, Kenny Rogers, Barry Mar.now, Rardy Travis, all had beer available
to the public. Def Leppard, Boston, Chicago ard Loverbcy did not have
beer sales. However, the Bicentennial renter has also elected not to
sell beer at certain concerts, based en age of ticket buyers and known
age level of fans. But, we allowed the sale of beer at the most recent
Loverboy Concert and at the Chicago concert. 011r audience seemed well
wit~in the older age grcups, on average.
Page 4
Morally a number of issu~s must be viewed. No one at the Center
wants to see a patron injured because of iffipairment from alcohol.
However, in the past year Kansans and Saline County residents vote¿ to
loosen the State and local liquor laws. Some people will question the
City's right to make a moral decision for the entire community on this
issue. Regardless of whether the decision is to ban fully, partially,
or ~omewhere in between, the moral question will be raised.
Finèlly, there is a last factor that is often overlooked when the
community discusses the Salina Eicentennial Center and most similar
facilities. We are publicly owned but we compete with many other
taci1ities and we are expected tc operate like a privete business. Other
municipal departments are not expected to attract new business or to
really ccmpete with private enterprise on a local, statf: and regionòl
basis. The Bicentennial Center does compete, even o~ a natioral basis,
to bring events into Salina.
tIn 1983 the Bicentennial Center hosted 11 convent~rns
and 12 ~rades~o~5 with a combined attendance of 75,532. The
1984 Laventhol & Horwath study credited those 23 events ~1ith
having an estimated $3.2 million value tc Salina's economy.
In 1986 the Bicentennial Center hosted 10 conventions
and 16 tradeshows with a combine~ attendance of 97,801.
Based on Laventhol & Horwath's mode1, those 26 events were
worth $4.7 million to Salira. Those are direct dollars
without turnover an~ no allowance made for price increases
since 1983. The additicral $1.5 million is a 47% growth
fè.ctor.
La~t year was, by far, the best year to datp in business
frr the Bicentennial Center. Even though there were 16 fewer
total events than in 1985, the combined atten~ance was up 16%
(385.000 compared t~ 331,000). We hosted 11 more conventions
and tradeshows, ore less sperting event. the same nun~er of
entertainment events, and 26 less other types of activities.
The Center was used for 282 events as follows: 10
conventions, 1~ tradeshows, 10 sports activities, 24
entertainment events and 222 other various events such as
meetings, banquets, etc.
The financial picture improved considerably over 19ß~.
Revenue earned was up $98,000 or 32%. By category the
breBkdown is as follows: conventions arc tradeshows +17%;
entertainment +83%; sports +36% and all other -15%.
Operating fxpenses were up $39,000 or 6!%. Again, though, we
hasten to remind the reader this is ã y'oller coaster, vell'Y
unpredictnble type of business. Entertainment events are
really the money makers and it is becoming increasingly
difficult to get them in.
PagE !'"-
In addition to the revenue earned by the Center, support
groups realized a quarter million dollars for their efforts
during 19Ðf. Their services incìu~e catering, security,
staffing concession stands and ~tôgehands.' (Taken from
February 1987 elM report.)
This report outlines the current 9l'idelines which govern the sale
and consumption of alcohol ar~ CMB at the Salina Bicentennial Center'.
It also shows the relationship between the revenue received and scme of
the problems and danqers that these sõ1es brin~ w~th them. We have
examined alternat~vps and some of the overall consideratlons that ~ny
policy must addre~s. This report is far frcfT! complete, it is only ê\
cof,c,ensed outline of 8 year$ cf operat"!r\g experience and a knowledge of
what .is happening industry \'iÍåe. Hopefully, this will assist you in
better understanding the oper~tion of the facility and give you
information useful in determining what role alcohol/CMS should play ~n
its future.

Column C is revenue received from the bar service. This is when the Center provides setups and bar tenders
and the client supplies the alcohcl. The charge is usually ~ased on an 'IXli $ per hour. per person charge.
Column U lS revenue received from actual liQuor sales.
This was not permissable until July 1987.
Column E is the total revenue the Bicentennial Center earned, including Food and Beverage, rents, etc.
The overall d~ta that is important to under$talld from this report is that Food and Beveraqe accounts for over
50% of the total revenue the Center earns. Also that on average 20% of Food and Beverages revenue come~ from
alcohol/CMG consumption.

Const.mlption of cereal ma.lt or alcoholic beverage on the prerru.ses
of the Bicentennial Center.
As you are aware, I gave a verbal directive soon after taking charge
of the Bicentennial Center in June of 1981 that no one, while in employ
of the Center, is to have in their personal possession any cereal mal t
or alcoholic beverage, or consume tile same. This is in accord with section
VI-2C2 of the City's J?ersonnel manual.
. This policy appl~es to anyone w:>rking for the Center whether on a full
time, part time, or a contract basis. Individuals and members of organizations
supplementing our staffing whether it be W)rking in concessions, as bartenders,
ushers, ticket takers, security or any other capacity are prohibited from
having in their personal possession or const..nning cereal mal t or alcoholic
beverage while in the performance of their job.
Members of the full time staff having charge of such individuals or
members of organizations are responsible to see that these rules are complied
with. This regulation applies not only during tile time the person is
engaged in the performance of a particular job, but also from the time they
report into the Center until they leave tile premises. So that there is no
misunderstandinß, this restriction does not aJ?ply to full time employees,
part time employees, or members of organizatlons ~len tiley are attending
a function on their own time. The reasons [or this policy should be very
evident, but basically it is required for reasons of personal safety and
any liability the Center might incur as well as the public image of the
Center.
Any violation of this prohibition will be cause for dismissal of any
full time or part time employee involved. It will also be cause for not
utilizing any organization in the future ~lose members fail to comply with
this regulation.

The Bicentennial staff has made a conscientious effort to encourage
11/18/1985
only responsible consumption.
Over the past three years we have instituted
many policies and rules for our employees to follow and also to discourage
irresponsible drinking from our customers.
Some of our methods to encourage responsible drinking.
1.
All individuals purch~sing cereal malt beverages must be born
prior to July 1, 196&,
this is done by club members checking
identification (Drivers License, Military ID, Birth Certificate)
from all trying to buy cereal malt beverage.
2.
All employees, bartenders, club members, and all selling cereal
malt beverage will be 21 years or older.
J.
No person will be served more than two cups of cereal malt
beverage or two mixed drinks at one time.
4.
Any guest acting in an intoxicated manner will be handled by
the security force and Police Department, and will not be allowed
to drive.
This may mean calling a cab or providing some other
form of transportation for the individual.
5.
The manager or supervisor on duty will personally handle all
lifluor related problems with assistance from security personnel.
6.
No Bicentennial Center employee, bartender, at club member will
drink cereal malt beverage or alcoholic beverage while working
at the Bicentennial Center.
7.
All beer sales and service will stop at least one-half hour b,~fore
a function is over.
Depending on the crowd, bee r sa les cou ld be
stopped at anytime during an event.
8.
Two meetings were held on October 24, 1985, and November 6, 1985
with the supervisors at Sears, General Battery, Premier Pneumatics,
Schwans, Tonys, and North American Phillip's.
At these meetings
we discussed their upcoming events ,qnd talked about the dispensing

and consumption of liquor and beer, and the rules that were to
vJ. J(J"v~
be followed. ,lOur concern about under-age people who would be
at these parties trying to obtain beer and or liquor.
9 .
The Bicentennial Center has been In touch with Anheuser Busch
Inc.
We have received the information regarding their Alcohol
Awareness Programs, and have gone through it and will make a
presentation to our bar staff in November, -"hortly before our
Christmas parties begin.
10.
At events, we have security personnel roaming the concourse
and if somebody is drinking to much,
they wi 11 say some thi ng to
that person.
11.
Club members and bartenders have been told to refuse serviLe
to any person who seems to have had too much to drink.
12.
The J20z cup used to serve beer has been dropped and replaced
with a 240"- cup.
13.
At all stands, we encourage our customers to eat, at_beer stands
we also sell pretzels, and at our concession stands popcorn,
hot dogs and all the items which slow the absorption of alcohol
into the system.
14.
Liquor pourers and shot glasses are used by the bartenders to
reGulate the amount of alcohol being used in mixed drinks.
Non-alcoholic bars have been se t up during events wi th virgin
