Texas fans will be able to enjoy a cold beer inside Darrel K. Royal Stadium this fall during Longhorns games. The decision to permit beer and wine sales at football games follows an expiremental stage that included alcohol sales at men's and women's basketball games.

New UT president Greg Fenves voiced his support for beer sales earlier this month. This week, chancellor Bill McRaven gave the "OK" to expand the alcohol sales to football games.

"Fan safety and enjoyment remains our number one priority as we work through the process of expanding beer and wine sales into all seating areas of the stadium," athletic director Steve Patterson said in a school-released statement. "During our extensive pilot, we found fans and staff handled the situation responsibly and we had no negative issues or situations."

Texas joins West Virginia and Kansas State as some of the first Big 12 schools to offer alcohol for sale at football games.

Welcome to 2015, Texas. You're just about 50 years late.
 
I believe KY is doing the same thing this year but they will be adding a new BBN twist, they'll also be serving it in the coaches boxes upstairs and on the sidelines to the players that make a good play.

NoAlcohol sales are not a rule in the SEC. It is an agreement that the institutions decided many years ago before $8 beers became so profitable. Look for a change soon. UK has had people drinking alcohol in their suites for years.
