The University of Southern Mississippi will become the state's first major university to offer alcoholic beverages at football games when it begins selling beer and light wine later this season.
Starting Sept. 28, fans 21 and older with valid government-issued identification will be able to buy beer and light wine at eight locations in M.M. Roberts Stadium, according to a news release.
Keg and Barrel, with two locations in Hattiesburg, posted on Facebook, "Southern Miss to the Tap," a play on the university's slogan, "Southern Miss to the Top," in reaction to the news.
