Edit: Allow alcohol at UI football games

In today's editorial, Devin Rokyta of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News argues that the state of Idaho should allow alcohol at the University of Idaho football games:

For many Vandal fans, the best part about Saturdays and University of Idaho football games during the fall often takes place prior to the action inside of the Kibbie Dome. Every home weekend, fans, students and alumni pack the parking lots west of the dome to tailgate and enjoy food fresh off the grill and some ice-cold beers. Win or lose, everyone has a good time. Tailgating this season, however, could be much less interesting - and the Vandals' matchups with the likes of University of South Alabama and Troy could become much less bearable - after the Idaho State Board of Education informed UI officials earlier this month that, per state law, alcohol is not permitted in the university-owned parking lots.
