CHAMPAIGN — As beer sales become more prevalent at college athletic events, the University of Illinois jumped on board.
The University of Illinois Division of Intercollegiate Athletics announced Tuesday that it will add beer to public concession options in general seating areas at Memorial Stadium and State Farm Center beginning in the fall of 2019.
Plans to allow beer sales at Illinois Field and Eichelberger Field are also being finalized. It is possible that Illinois will offer public beer sales for the final three Big Ten baseball series at Illinois Field this spring. Beer availability at softball games is expected to begin in 2020.
