Heeke said the UA would be posting public notices of its application at McKale Center and, if approved, said the school would serve beer and wine at an undetermined date this season.

“We want to kind of see what we can do, we want to do it the right way, so we’ll likely have that at some point during this season," Heeke said on his radio interview.

“We want better food service, better opportunities for food and drink across the entire board. We want to have new environments for people to retreat to and enjoy the game, more than just sitting on that hard, abrasive bench at the 50-yard line and just watching the game. There’s more to the experience now, and we want to try to grow that."

Arizona is expected to have two of its three committed players attend Friday's Red-Blue Game, and at least a few in the younger classes.

Chris Wright, father of UA commit Brandon Williams, confirmed today that his son is planning to attend the game (and Williams confirmed it himself on Twitter). Shareef O'Neal has also said on Twitter that he will be visiting this weekend.
