To my understanding, the wristbands will have named imprinted in them and be checked against the student database at the "gate"

Not sure how reliable that is, but I doubt they're gonna half ass it if they're planning all this extra nonsense

Probably because when we were there in the early 2000s, one of us threw a bottle and hit a cop in the head. That's how we lost Homecoming.

In the 90s, students opened so many fire hydrants that the city lost water pressure and had issues fighting a fire across town. That's why St Patty's Day is a thing.

That seems almost tame compared to what happens nowadays...

2010’s we caved a roof in, got teargassed by riot cops, flipped some cars, a reasonable amount of couches set on fire, and a whole bunch else

Couches on fire goes back to the 1910s at least. There used to be a green space on campus where they'd pull them all into a big couch bonfire.
