Oklahoma State has made a major advancement in its efforts to improve the fan experience at Boone Pickens Stadium.

The university announced Thursday it will begin selling alcohol at football games starting this fall. OSU joins Texas and West Virginia as the only Big 12 schools where fans can purchase beer throughout the stadium. Previously, OSU sold alcohol in only private suites and the club level.

Beer will be available at 22 locations throughout Boone Pickens Stadium, all of which will be adjacent to current concession stands and include craft options. OSU is also introducing a no-re-entry policy at the stadium, one of which is already in place at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

"These changes will enhance game day safety," OSU Chief of Police Leon Jones said in a release. "Other schools that we have talked to have experienced a decrease in overall consumption and overuse of alcohol in and around their stadiums once they introduced sales in the venue, and we believe the same could happen at Boone Pickens Stadium."
