Great for Texas and for us during our first game in Austin next season. I hope UNT doesn't continue to make excuses as to how hard it is to obtain beer for our sporting events. Nor do I want to hear they are considering the issue. I don't want to hear about the perils of navigating the bureaucracy of the TABC, politics, or how sales should discriminate against certain parts of the stadium. People in DFW expect beer, I agree with them too, and not just on the Club Level. It's not merely a football issue either. We need butts in seats in a competitive market in every sport.

Whatever your opinion on the issue is, I didn't hear a peep about beer in the Cotton Bowl ruining the HOD Bowl gameday experience. There were a lot of excited Mean Green fans partaking too. We aren't facing an impending Cleveland "Ten Cent Beer Night" in Denton, Texas either. The University needs to get this done.
