Cheers, Longhorns fans.
University of Texas officials have gotten all the necessary approvals to serve beer and wine at football games this fall at Royal-Memorial Stadium, the school announced Wednesday afternoon.
Texas athletic director Steve Patterson pushed to get alcohol sales approved last season, but then-UT Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa nixed the idea, saying more study on safety protocols was required.
Fan safety and enjoyment remains our number one priority as we work through the process of expanding beer and wine sales into all seating areas of the stadium, Patterson said in a statement. During our extensive pilot, we found fans and staff handled the situation responsibly and we had no negative issues or situations. We will continue to monitor the service closely.
