Alabama athletics to reconsider alcohol sales at events: What it means for football?

Greg Byrne and Alabama athletics are reconsidering alcohol sales at sporting events for the University of Alabama.

A conversation started about this after the 2021 football season, but a service fee between UA and the City of Tuscaloosa caused Byrne not to move forward with the situation. According to a report from Nick Kelly of Tuscaloosa News, alcohol sales for the general public will be considered for Bryant-Denny Stadium, Coleman Coliseum, and other areas on campus. The Southeastern Conference lifted its ban on alcohol sales in public seating stadiums in 2019, allowing its schools to choose to sell alcohol or not.
