On tap: Beer sales coming for many Illinois athletic events

If you're an Illinois fan and want to have a beer at an Illini football game in 2019, you're in luck.

The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics announced on Tuesday morning 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, according to the DIA, and it's possible 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.
