Michigan State University (MSU) recently announced that it will allow alcohol sales at four of its home football games this season. This is a major change for the university, which has previously prohibited alcohol sales at any of its athletic events. The decision was made in an effort to improve the game day experience for fans and to generate additional revenue for the university.
The four games that will allow alcohol sales are the September 7th game against Western Michigan University, the October 5th game against Indiana University, the November 9th game against Rutgers University, and the November 16th game against Maryland. Alcohol sales will be limited to beer and wine, and will only be available to those 21 years of age or older. The university also plans to implement additional security measures to ensure that alcohol is consumed responsibly.
MSU is not the first university to allow alcohol sales at its athletic events. Several other Big Ten schools, including Ohio State University, Penn State University, and the University of Minnesota, have already implemented similar policies. However, MSU is the first school in Michigan to do so.
The decision to allow alcohol sales at MSU’s home football games has been met with mixed reactions from students and alumni. Some believe that it will improve the game day atmosphere and make it more enjoyable for fans. Others are concerned that it could lead to increased incidents of underage drinking and alcohol-related violence.
Only time will tell if allowing alcohol sales at MSU’s home football games will be a success or a failure. Regardless, it is clear that the university is taking steps to improve the game day experience for its fans.
