Earlier this month, we reported that Purdue athletic director, Mike Bobinski, was looking at possibly expanding alcohol sales throughout Ross-Ade Stadium. Today, Purdue Athletics announced that starting this season, both Ross-Ade Stadium and Mackey Arena would have beer and wine sold throughout the respective venues. However, alcohol will not be sold “immediately adjacent to the respective student sections.”
“We had extensive discussions with campus police and safety and security, and what we learned is that our fans have responded very favorably to being able to purchase beer and wine on the South End Zone Patio,” Purdue vice president and athletics director Mike Bobinski said.
