Post-game Sheridan Road Celebration ‘Not Acceptable,’ University Says

A post-game celebration flooded North Sheridan Road near Loyola’s Lake Shore campus March 21 shortly after the Ramblers won over University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, March Madness. Now, university officials are condemning what they call “not acceptable or responsible forms of celebration.”

In an email to Loyola students March 25, Assistant Vice President for Student Development and Dean of Students Will Rodriguez and Student Government of Loyola Chicago President Maddie Drescher addressed the celebration that followed after No. 1-seeded Illinois fell to the No.8-seeded Ramblers.

“There were many students reported to have violated COVID-19 health and safety protocols, as well as open container laws,” Rodriguez and Drescher said in the email.
