Q: How much revenue do beer sales at Grange Grove bring in?

A: Nearly $1,500 per game during the 2018 football season.

During six games at Memorial Stadium last year, the Grange Grove beer tent brought in $8,704.

It's not a major revenue generator, but University of Illinois athletics spokesman Kent Brown said it wasn't necessarily supposed to be.

"Fans can carry their own beer into Grange Grove; we just wanted to offer an alternative," Brown said. "We wanted to add to the game-day experience for our fans and saw this as one way to do so while building the activities offered in Grange Grove.
