COLUMBUS (WCMH) — The Ohio State University has announced there will be alcohol sales stadium-wide as part of new policies being implemented at Ohio Stadium.
The policy will take effect with the Buckeye Country Superfest June 18 through 19 and then continue for games. Jack Miner of OSU’s athletics council said the university will evaluate whether each concert or special event will have beer sales, but he said that games would have them from now on.
Fans will be able to buy beer inside the Horseshoe, although Miner said there will be limits imposed.
“They’ll check your ID every single time,†Miner said. “They’ll let you buy two beers at a time. It’s not going to be an armload of beer.â€
Miner said the university tested out the program last year in the Club and Suite sections and that it was successful. He said Ohio Stadium would be following in the footsteps of other stadiums that now sell alcohol.
“They see fewer alcohol incidents in the stadium when they allow alcohol sales, because people aren’t chugging beers before walking into the stadium,†Miner said
