Regents approve alcohol sales at Nebraska football, volleyball games

KEARNEY -- The University of Nebraska Board of Regents on Friday cleared the way for alcohol sales at Husker football and volleyball beginning in 2025.

On a 7-1 vote, regents approved allowing for the sale of beer, wine and liquor at all NU athletic events, replacing a previous policy that required venues to be approved individually.

"We have shown that our athletic departments can do this in a safe, responsible way," NU President Jeff Gold said.

Gold said alcohol sales would be done using best practices developed at other universities across the country where alcohol sales already take place.
