House Bill 389 was approved by the North Carolina House of Representatives yesterday, which would allow beer and wine to be sold athletic events at UNC System Schools.
That means we are one step closer to alcohol being sold in Carter-Finley Stadium, PNC Arena and Doak Field.
The bill has now been passed on to the North Carolina Senate for consideration.
The bill proposed by NC House Majority Leader John Bell (R-Wayne) and NC Senate Majority Whip Rick Gunn (R-Alamance) has the support of 14 of the 15 UNC System Schools, including NC State.
Duke and Wake Forest, which are private universities, already sell alcohol at sporting events.
