Regents to consider first step toward alcohol sales at Husker games

Beer sales have expanded across the college sports landscape in recent years, including at Colorado's Folsom Field, where Nebraska played in 2019. Regents at NU next week will consider a proposal to rescind a ban on alcohol sales at Husker games.

The University of Nebraska Board of Regents will consider changing its policy next week allowing for the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at athletic events.

NU’s president and campus chancellors have had authority to allow alcohol to be sold, dispensed and consumed at licensed private social events on campus since 1990, but regents have banned the consumption at any University of Nebraska-Lincoln athletic events since 1999.
