Oregon State is nearing completion of an agreement that would allow stadium-wide alcohol sales at Reser Stadium for the 2018 football season, per a source.

Autzen Stadium announced a similar policy last week and OSU has been at work for several months finalizing its own new stadium policy. It's unknown if the current re-entry policy that allows Beavers fans to move between the parking lot and stadium during games would be altered. A source with the Oregon Liquor Control Commission said it's working with OSU officials on certification and direction.

I'm certain OSU will do as Oregon has done and increase in-stadium monitoring of alcohol. Also feels like this trend is rooted in a couple of things:

A) Generating revenue at a time when everyone needs it;

B) Working to eliminate any possible reason that fans would choose staying home vs. visiting a stadium on game day;

C) A recent study being shared among university presidents that demonstrated fewer alcohol-related incidents as alcohol consumption moved from outside stadiums to inside the stadiums. More regulation appears to curb reported incidents.

An announcement from Oregon State is expected in the coming weeks.
