January 8, 2008 (Alexandria, VA) – Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management (TEAM) Coalition
recently reported that in the last 12 months over 27,000 employees of sports and entertainment
facilities were certified in the organization’s alcohol management training program. That is
more than any prior year in organization’s history. The training program educates facility
employees in the following areas:
- Understanding the warning signs of intoxication the factors that affect how alcohol is absorbed
- Blood Alcohol Content and how serving sizes in sports stadiums will impact BAC
- Reasonable efforts including documentation, designated driver programs, and enforcing
alcohol service policies that sports facilities undertake to ensure guests have a safe experience
- Intervention techniques for all job functions, and how employees of various companies with
different job functions within the building can work together to ensure a positive fan experience
- Serving guidelines including ID checking, cutting-off alcohol service, and state-specific regulations
Many individual facilities, teams, and concessionaires earned recognition for the number of
employees certified in the last year.

across the leagues. TEAM’s Responsibility Has Its Rewards™ campaign and sweepstakes for
designated drivers encourages fans to register to be a designated driver at the stadium
or arena where their favorite teams compete through programs sponsored by brewers and
concessionaires. Each time fans pledge to be a designated driver they are entered for a
chance to follow their favorite team to the World Series®, MLS Cup™, or Super Bowl®.
Nearly 450,000 fans from Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, and the National
Football League pledged to stay sober and make sure their friends and family got home
safely from the event.
