CBS: Texas to start selling Beer & Wine at it Football Games... - Maize - 06-17-2015 05:07 PM
From the article...interesting that only the ACC, B1G-(Minnesota) & Big XII are leagues that allow Beer sales...:
Texas fans will be able to enjoy a cold beer inside Darrel K. Royal Stadium this fall during Longhorns games. The decision to permit beer and wine sales at football games follows an expiremental stage that included alcohol sales at men's and women's basketball games.
New UT president Greg Fenves voiced his support for beer sales earlier this month. This week, chancellor Bill McRaven gave the "OK" to expand the alcohol sales to football games.
"Fan safety and enjoyment remains our number one priority as we work through the process of expanding beer and wine sales into all seating areas of the stadium," athletic director Steve Patterson said in a school-released statement. "During our extensive pilot, we found fans and staff handled the situation responsibly and we had no negative issues or situations."
Texas joins West Virginia and Kansas State as some of the first Big 12 schools to offer alcohol for sale at football games.

They cost $8 or $9, but I've been enjoying beer at Memphis football and basketball games for years.

Doesn't State law come into play as well? I don't think beer is served at any NC college events even if the ACC allows alcohol.

No only UNC system schools are not allowed to sell alcohol on campus or during sporting events. The private schools can do what they want. However several schools have been ignoring this rule and have been serving alcohol on campus for years. East Carolina sales beer in the club level and beer and wine in the Murphy Center during football games. Just can not purchase in general area. However in the future the pressbox side will have alcohol and probably the upper deck just not the student section.

Classic story. John Mackovic got a reputation for being a wine connoisseur during his time in Austin, which fancies itself as wine country.
Despite making the Sugar Bowl in 1995, the Texas fans were already becoming restless with Mackovic in 1996 after a home loss to Notre Dame.
The next week, UT travelled to Charlottesville to play UVa led by the Barber brothers. It was ugly. The Cavs manhandled the Horns 37-13.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, one of the Texas fans sitting a few rows behind the Longhorn bench had enough. He stood up and yelled at the top of his lungs:
"Hey Mackovic! What kind of chardonnay goes with a blowout?"
UT eventually upset Nebraska that season to win the inaugural Big 12 title. Mackovic slipped to 4-7 the following year and had clearly worn out his welcome. He was fired after one bad season following back to back Sugar and Fiesta Bowl appearances.
Good luck, Charlie Strong.

Thanks, so it's a UNC system thing and not a State law thing. I've had a beer as well at Charlotte bball games up in the "half time hospitality" section. I'm guessing that's the loophole, alcohol can be served in situations like that, just not to the general audience, etc.

Maize are you talking P5 only. I think most of the AAC stadiums have beer options. We have vendors that come to you seat. If you want draft you can get that also.

They do. Even have the roving vendors selling it so you don't have to get up except to pee.

Yes, they try to save the alcohol for the A&M board of regents (big scandal about 20 years ago-then they went after the whistleblower).

I thought almost every place had stopped selling beer through the vendors that walk through the stands. I remember when the Giants played at Candlestick, there were always a few fans in the outfield seats who would get several beers from those vendors and by about the 6th or 7th inning they'd be sauced enough to get into fistfights with each other. Of course, each beer was $3 at the park then.
