Texas fans will have the opportunity to buy a cold one at Longhorns football games at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium beginning with the Sept. 12 home opener with Rice.
School officials have been seeking this opportunity for many years, but it has traditionally been blocked by the UT System. UT chancellor Bill McRaven gave his approval earlier this week.
UT becomes the third UT System school to begin selling beer at their home football games. UTSA and UTEP have both sold beer at the Alamodome and Sun Bowl, respectively. And UT-Arlington has sold adult beverages at the school’s sports events.
