Swedish Pop Culture 2012 - Bandyportföljen (The Bandy Briefcase)

Pic from http://whiteroomstudios.blogspot.com

If you attend a bandy game you will see a lot of audience members with briefcases. It might seem out of place at a sports arena but it is an old tradition. Tradition mandates that it beused to transport a thermos full of warm coffee, mulled wine or some other hot beverage, usually with high alcohol content. It used to be that most games were played outside but as more and more clubs build inside rinks the bandyportfölj is slowly disappearing, because of new rules that forbid the audience from bringing their own drinks..
