Thanks for the responses.  

One thing I tell all my kids:  Try to learn from other people's mistakes, not your own mistakes.

So, we'll use the red cups, but we'll be watching how the other approaches work.  GBR!  Looking forward to our first tailgater and game!

Hi everyone...parent of a student here, and first time tailgater at a Nebraska football game this weekend.

We have a parking spot in the Haymarket area via stubhub...not a garage, but a parking lot spot.  

Are open container laws enforced by the cops?  Not planning on having anyone get drunk, but we would like to indulge in some adult beverages during the course of the day.

Is it enough to pour drinks in red solo cups, and stay around the car in the lot (no sidewalks), and don't act like a dumb@$$?  I'm hoping that is enough to avoid being ticketed by the police.  (Assuming a ticket is what you get for an open beer.)

Looking forward to my first tailgater!
