UT Austin to Sell Alcohol at Longhorn Athletic Games

[TexasTowelie]

Starting soon, the University of Texas at Austin will sell beer and wine at basketball, baseball and softball games, according to a UT source.

The university is making the switch because fans have requested it, according to sources, but officials also hope to increase revenue and decrease the amount of binge drinking that occurs before events.

While the university hasn’t expanded alcohol sales to football games yet, UT adjunct professor Marlene Dixon thinks the university is using basketball and baseball as a test market for the football season.

“This is a lot more about the atmosphere at games than making money," Dixon says.

I thought the NCAA banned the sale of alcohol at on campus sites. This will be interesting.
