The state Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco is sending 12 to 16 agents to Thursday's event, where the No. 1 Florida Gators vie for the title against the No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners. Agency spokeswoman Alexis Antonacci says it's a family event and they want to make sure it's a safe environment for all.
Fans under 21 who are caught with drinks will be asked to dump the beverage, and may be given a notice to appear in court to answer charges.
