At Wyoming, there is also the matter of driving distances. Given the school’s standing as the state’s only four-year school, many Wyomingites trek from all over the Cowboy State to the southeast corner for football games. That means long drives afterward for those who don’t stay overnight in Laramie.

Burman said the distance of one’s postgame drive isn’t necessarily the issue.

“The reality of it is it doesn’t matter if you drive one mile or 100 miles, you can’t drink and drive,” he said. “So, if you’re driving home, and you live in north Laramie, you still can’t do it. You’ve got to be sober or at least not above the legal drinking limit.”

Still, that reality could affect the logistics of in-game alcohol sales.

“It may have an impact more on when you stop selling or how many you can sell to an individual person,” Burman said. “If you go to some venues right now, you can buy unlimited number of beers during an event. Some places you can only buy four beers during an event, and you can never buy more than two (at a time). So, we would have to look at all of those when we decide if we want to go forward with it.”
