Six months after announcing a plan to expand beer and wine sales at football games and other sporting events starting this season, Rutgers University on Wednesday announced a partnership with a new concessions vendor.

In an attempt to enhance its game-day atmosphere, Rutgers signed a multi-year deal with Gourmet Dining.

Starting Friday when the Scarlet Knights host UMass for their season opener at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, fans can purchase alcohol at concession stands in general-seating areas.

The price point for wine is $11 while beer prices are expected to range between $11 and $12, according to signage inside the stadium this week. Here is the complete beer and wine list:

Blue Moon, Bud Light, Budweiser, Coors and Coors Light, Miller and Miller Light, Shock Top, Yuengling

Trained Gourmet Dining management and security personnel will serve as alcohol monitors at the point of purchase throughout the 100 and 200 levels of the stadium.

Here is Rutgers’ alcohol-service policy:

All guests must be 21 years of age to purchase an alcoholic beverage. Valid I.D. is required for purchase. A guest that appears to be 30 years of age or younger must produce a valid form of acceptable identification.

There is a 2-alcoholic beverage limit per person (per identification).

Alcohol service will be discontinued at the end of the third quarter.

In addition to the alcohol sales, Rutgers updated concession stands and made other improvements to address customer flow throughout the stadium. The infrastructure costs associated with equipment and signage are expected to be incurred by Gourmet Dining, which replaces Sodexo as Rutgers’ food-services provider.

The New Jersey-based company is also upgrading its food selection with the typical football-game food (hot dogs, pretzels, nachos, popcorn) offerings and other themed options, including:

Jersey Eats (Section 104, 113, 124 & 132): Pork Roll, Egg & Cheese; Cheesesteak; Meatball Hero; Sausage & Peppers

Absurd Bird (Section 106 & 136): Chicken Tenders & Fries; Chicken & Waffles Sandwich; Grilled Chicken Sandwich; Fried Chicken Sandwich

Barbecue (Section 120 & 143): Pulled Pork; Loaded Tots; Mac & Cheese; Chorizo Chili

Jersey Mikes (Section 118): Chicken & Beef Cheesesteak; Assorted Cold Subs

Taqueria (Section 111 & 139): Beef, Chicken & Veggie Tacos; Beef, Chicken and Veggie Nachos; Cinnamon Sugar Churros

NJ Advance Media first reported last February that Rutgers would be expanding its alcohol sales beyond its stadium-club section at football games, basketball games and other sporting events in 2019-20 and beyond.

The decision followed a year-long study by Rutgers Athletics Director Pat Hobbs and other university officials to, Hobbs said, review “the experience and data from across the college landscape.’’

The plan to sell beer at football games was vetted and supported by the Rutgers University Senate, a group representing faculty, students, staff, administrators and alumni that serves as the principle advisory body to university President Robert Barchi.

"Universities have seen a dramatic drop in alcohol related incidents on game day by providing a controlled environment for beer and wine sales,'' Hobbs said in an interview last February. "We will work closely with RUPD to achieve similar results at Rutgers.''

Alcohol sales are expected to result in a revenue spike for Rutgers, with university officials estimating a net-profit of more than $500,000 in Year 1. The net revenue from alcohol sales will serve to offset scholarship costs, which exceed $16 million annually in an athletics department with more than 600 athletes.
