You could buy just about anything you wanted at last Saturday's g-unit concert...EXCEPT alcohol.
The Civic Center says there's a reason why.

[OUT Q=AT THAT CONCERT]

In fact, since the civic center received its expanded license, there have been nine concerts, alcohol was served at just five.
During that time, the civic center has had no violations.
It did however receive a warning last February when an ABC agent saw the lights go down at concert where alcohol was served.

Arrests have happened.
During an undercover operation at the Incubus concert, ABC agents arrested 13 people.
The Civic Center points out alcohol was not served at that event, and all the arrests happened outside the facility.

Critics however say the Civic Center is still accountable.
