"Michigan State University's Board of Trustees Greenlights Alcohol Sales at Spartan Stadium and On-Campus Sporting Events"

The Board of Trustees at Michigan State University has unanimously approved plans for alcohol sales at Spartan Stadium, with hopes of having state licenses in hand for the home games starting on September 16. The sales will be limited to two beverages per person and will begin one hour before the game, ending when there are 5 minutes left in the third quarter. The estimated revenue from alcohol sales is around $250,000 per home game, with the funds being split between athletics, student life and engagement, culinary services, and health and well-being. The move brings MSU in line with other universities in the Big Ten conference, with only four schools remaining that do not sell alcohol at their football venues.
