We’ve always said you might need a cold one to wash down any chance of watching Illinois Athletics.
Now it’s going to happen.
The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced on Tuesday that beer will be sold at Memorial Stadium and State Farm Center beginning this fall, with it also expected to be sold at Illinois Field (baseball) and Eichelberger Field (softball) beginning next year as well. It might even be sold at Illinois Field as soon as this year’s final three home series.
In a press release, Athletic Director Josh Whitman said:
“We are continually looking for ways to improve fan engagement and augment our in-game fan experience.
