From the article:
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State will begin selling beer stadium-wide at Buckeyes home football games during the 2016 season, the university announced on Wednesday.
This is an extension of a pilot program started last year, when alcohol was available for purchase by fans in the suite and club levels of Ohio Stadium.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith told cleveland.com before last season that this could be a possiblity, but that the university wanted to study the impact of alcohol sales at football games more closely before it was fully implemented.
"I don't know if it's coming, but we're going to keep studying it, probably at a more intense level than I've studied it in the past," Smith said last August. "We have to look at it harder."
Ohio State has sold alcohol in club seats at men's and women's basketball games and hockey games at the Schottenstein Center since that venue opened in 1998.
The revenue from beer sales this football season will help fund two new full-time positions in the Ohio State police department, at a cost of $300,000.
