The Lincoln Indian Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, adopted a permanent ban on alcohol after an unruly tailgate party drew negative attention.

The center allows University of Nebraska-Lincoln football fans to use its parking lot for pre-game events and parking. But after a party got out hand last month board members voted 4-3 to permanently ban alcohol.

The decision will mean a loss of revenue for the center. A temporary ban prior to a recent game led to far fewer people using the parking lot -- profits dropped from $10,000 to just over $1,500, The Lincoln Journal Star reported.

The parking lot was nicknamed "The Rez" by students although it is not on Indian land.
