Title/Alt Text The University of Texas at Austin has approved the sale of beer and wine at Darrell K Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium for the 2015 season, two University sources tell Horns247.

No further hurdles remain for either the administration or athletic department with alcohol sales at DKR.

Texas began selling beer at other athletic events, including basketball, baseball and softball, in 2014, but had not previously approved a plan for football games. Initially, the University had used the sale of alcohol at the other events as a smaller-scale case study to determine its effect at sporting events on campus.

Two weeks ago, new University president Gregory Fenves said there have been no issues at other events during his introductory press conference.

The sale of beer at sporting events has long been a priority for Texas men’s athletic director Steve Patterson. Fenves also recently came out in support of beer sales at games in order to enhance the overall experience for fans.

According to USA Today, 32 other schools sell beer at their home football games. UT-Austin is the fourth University of Texas System school to serve alcohol at sporting events.
