Hey Alabama Alumni & Friends!

Happy New Year! And hopefully it is one that continues.  Been a bit of a bumpy ride, but we made it to the National Championship game.  We face off with UGA again, who will be ever ready and wanting to change their story against the Tide. Join us this coming Monday 1/10 for all the guts and glory to play out for the Tide to fight to bring home a win. 
 

IMPORTANT NOTE - A big games like this tends to bring a bunch of people out, and usually many people that have NEVER attended before.  We expect a big turn out, but we have no way to know for sure since much of attendance is word of mouth.

Please keep this in mind should you choose to attend for your comfort level to potential crowd & standing room options. Additionally as a night game, it will be a more adult crowd. 

We greatly appreciate your help in contributing to the watch party in a positive manner, both you AND the guest you bring with you, and in representing the University of Alabama as an alumni or fan appropriately so that we can continue to have watch parties & a dedicated bar just for Bama. 

City of Denver Indoor Mask Mandate
The city extended the mask mandate from November into February-  "face coverings will be required in Denver for everyone aged 2 and older in all public, indoor spaces."
This is regardless if you are vaccinated or not. Hopefully everyone is familiar with this drill by now. 

For our Watch Party!
YOU MUST WEAR A MASK IN THE BAR UNLESS YOU ARE ACTIVELY DRINKING OR EATING. This includes standing. If you need to move about the bar, EX: to bathroom or to make an order - PUT YOUR MASK ON. Coming in and out of bar - PUT YOUR MASK ON. 
Drink in hand - mask off OK!  
THIS IS MANDATED BY THE CITY, not the bar so please don't take it out on them (or us).

We appreciate everyone helping with consideration to not exposing others if you are knowingly sick.  

Watch Party Information

The College Inn - Main Bama Denver

- NO RESERVATIONS - SEATING IS FIRST COME-FIRST SERVE. 

- NO VERTICAL IDS. If you are new to town, and have a vertical ID, please make sure to bring another valid form of ID (ex: Passport). 

- The College Inn is family friendly, however we would advise that you use your own discretion in choosing to bring your kids with it being a more adult crowd for big matchup and/or night games.  Please do NOT sit at the bar with small children. 

- Big match-ups will be crowded and may get to standing room capacity.  If you haven't been to a watch party before, please expect this is part of coming to watch a big game at the watch-party. 

- NEW for this Season - Ordering is done at the bar at the ordering station.  There will be some floating service, but you will predominately need to make your orders with a tab at the bar.  

- You are responsible for your actions and those of the guests you bring to the watch party.

AND AS ALWAYS - THE BAR HAS THE RIGHT TO DENY SERVICE AS THEY SEE FIT.

Covid Considerations
DID YOU SEE ABOVE ABOUT THE MASK RULES?
As with this week, regulations can change at ANY point, completely out of the College Inn's hands. 

Your attendance is at your own risk and choosing. 

We will keep you posted should any rules and regulations change around this and appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping keep us all safe and healthy.  

ROLL TIDE.
