Abstract TEAM is a responsible alcohol service program developed for public assembly facilities. Its objectives are to promote responsible alcohol service, enhance safety and enjoyment of fans, reduce potential liability, and reduce alcohol-impaired driving. Case studies were conducted of TEAM programs in seven Major League Baseball facilities. The project staff attempted to collect from each facility: (1) data on food and alcohol sales and on alcohol-related incidents; (2) written TEAM assessments and alcohol policies; (3) anecdotal information dealing with the history, implementation, and impact of TEAM; and (4) survey data from employees and fans. Results of the study showed that TEAM had been adopted in spirit and actively implemented in each of the seven facilities. The program was relatively easy to implement and appeared to have contributed to a decline in alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problem behavior. TEAM also produced general improvements in the facilities, including positive changes in the environment that are likely to attract more families, and better relations among different categories of staff. Recommendations included regular data collection by facilities as well as research designed to address limitations of the present study. Study findings are presented in this detailed research report and a summary report. /Abstract from report summary page/
