Bring on the Booze – Alcohol Sales on Tap for Razorback Stadium?

As reported by Meredith Turner:

Beer and wine will be sold to club seat holders at Razorback Stadium in the upcoming season if the concessions directors can secure a liquor license, according to the Fayetteville Flyer.

If the license is given, alcohol might be served to baseball and basketball fans during the games as well. The Razorbacks’ concession partner Sodexo applied for the liquor license Baum stadium and Bud Walton Arena, but there are no real plans to serve beer or wine to baseball and basketball fans exist yet.

There are seven other universities in the Southeastern Conference who serve alcohol to fans in their concessions.

The UofA  announced club seat owners that are of legal drinking age will have the opportunity to utilize this service in the 2014 football season, said athletic director Jeff Long.

However, the opportunity to buy alcohol does not extend to non-club seat owners. No sales or drinking of liquor will be allowed outside the club area or in the stands. The alcoholic drinks will be sold in the east indoor club, south indoor club and the indoor dining area.

There will only be beer and wine sold, in addition to regular beverages. The beer and wine must also stay in the region it is sold.
