UNT Says Beer Sales at Football Games Are Ongoing Discussion

[Harry]

University of North Texas leaders say they've long toyed with the idea of adding beer vendors to Apogee Stadium and other campus venues.

Like many college sports venues across the country, no alcohol is allowed in the Mean Green's football stadium.

But Athletic Director Rick Villarreal said it's been an ongoing discussion. He said he has watched closely as other venues tackle the topic.

Villarreal said there are some real benefits to beer sales, such as new profits. But he also said beer sales could actually have a positive effect on safety.

This story is old, almost a year old.

UNT could be even more progressive and pass out joints to everyone coming through the turnstiles. Not only would attendance increase but concession also.

Oh, that was from a Colorado or Washington St message board.

Nobody said a word, therefore, I must go ahead and assume there will be no beer because there has never been beer and no one said there will be beer. They've apparently been thinking about it for some time.

Beer will be served this year.
