On Feb. 2 when the New England Patriots played in the Super Bowl (and won), the University of Massachusetts Amherst instituted a no-guest policy for students to curtail any rioting and arrests. It appears the school will be doing the same for Blarney Blowout, the students’ unofficial St. Patrck’s Day celebration.

The festivities will take place in early March.

From from 8 p.m. March 5 through 11 p.m. March 8, students will be prohibited from hosting non-students in their dorms.

The move comes at the suggestion of former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis, who was commissioned to write a report in the aftermath of the 2014 Barnet Blowout on how best to handle these excessive jubilations.

More than 70 people were arrested and four police officers injured in 2014.

The report, more than 60 pages long, suggests among other things that “UMass Amherst to consider limiting, at a minimum, the number of registered guests to a number set by the building capacity based on occupancy numbers and fire regulations.”

It also states that the school recorded more than 7,000 registered guests.

“UMPD Chief should be the point person who determines whether extraordinary security measures need to be taken on campus and in the residence halls,” reads the report further. “These measures may include limitations or a prohibition of overnight guests in certain extreme conditions.”

The Super Bowl guest ban may have actually worked, too.

Of the more than 2,000 people who flocked to the Southwest area of campus – a densely populated section of campus with high-rise dormitories – a single individual was arrested. After the Patriots lost in the 2012 Super Bowl, 13 were arrested.
