The Real Monarchs have spent nearly $250,000 to move the entrance of their new Herriman soccer stadium as far from their on-site charter school as possible — just to get a state liquor license.
The effort and expense, however, were not enough to convince members of Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control commission that Real Salt Lake’s minor-league affiliate was prepared to sell beer to fans.
On Tuesday, the board postponed a decision on the Monarchs’ liquor license for one month, saying it needed more information about the project. Namely, they wondered, are the emergency exits located near the school secure enough to keep minors from gaining access?
