HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Changes are on the way for the gameday experience at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Marshall appears to be joining a growing number of college football venues around the country to offer alcohol sales. It will also continue its pass outs policy, allowing fans to leave and re-enter the stadium.

Marshall Athletics Director Mike Hamrick made the announcement Friday via his official twitter account.

Glad to say we are working on alcohol sales process in Edwards stadium but regardless of the outcome we will continue our pass outs policy. — Mike Hamrick (@TheHerdAD) April 15, 2016

Limited alcohol sales have been available at Edwards Stadium, but only to season ticketholders in the stadium’s chair-back section, who can purchase beer and wine in the Big Green Room but are not permitted to take their drinks out of the room. Alcohol is also permitted, but not sold, in the stadium’s suites. Now, alcohol sales would be available to fans who purchase general admission tickets.

Marshall began exploring the idea of selling beer at football games in January when it released a survey asking fans if they would support beer sales at the stadium. It also asked if they favor a “no re-entry” policy for football games.

The policy change comes at the same time Conference USA is renegotiating its television rights deal and indications are individual schools could see $500,000 less in television revenues each year.

Marshall could recoup some of that loss through beer sales at Edwards Stadium.

Currently, 34 schools across the country offer alcohol sales to general admission fans. Of those, only seven are in one of the Power 5 conferences. C-USA members North Texas, UTEP, Western Kentucky and Texas-San Antonio already offer alcohol sales to general admission fans.

West Virginia University implemented beer sales at Milan Puskar Stadium in 2011.
