University of Kentucky Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart says drinking alcohol at sporting events on campus is a choice left up to fans. It’s simple, really. If you want to have a beer or cocktail, that’s great — just don’t be a casual game attendee.
You see, it’s part of the “fan experience” decision you choose to make when buying tickets, he says. Alcohol is readily available for those in luxury suites paying a premium. If you want it, pull out your checkbook and get to drinking.
For the other tens of thousands of fans in the stands?
