If that person went and killed someone hours later, would the Flames be responsible?

People gather at a Flames game for the purpose of watching a hockey game. The Calgary Flames do not attempt to create a culture of booze filled chaos at the game. I would estimate an incredibly small percentage of people go to the games with the intention of getting absolutely blitzed. BSD on the other hand, exists so that students can get wasted at an official event on campus. Forgive me if I am wrong, but I don't believe there are other events during BSD that don't revolve around alcohol? Thinking it will end at 5pm, just because U of C closes all campus activities, is naive. They have created a culture around this day that involves mass drunkenness and stupidity
