It appears UK Athletics is finally relenting a bit in terms of alcohol sales with the general public at sporting events.
On Friday, the school announced it’s initiating a pilot program to begin sales of alcoholic beverages at baseball and softball home games during the upcoming seasons. No other spring sports will be included in this program.
In terms of alcohol being sold to the general public at football games this fall, UK will make a decision on that this summer based on the results of the pilot program.
“Our priority is, as always, to positively impact our student-athletes and the experience of our fans,” UK AD Mitch Barnhart said in a press release.
