As I'm an Wyoming alum, I got this in my email last night. Thought you might find it interesting.
I'm at a loss for words other than it should make for an interesting "game day" experience at "The War". In reality though, I'm surprised it took them this long. When I was there (1982-1986), they had talked about it then.
University of Wyoming Athletics will offer beer and wine for sale to fans at home football and basketball games beginning this coming season. Beer and wine are being offered to enhance the game-day experience for fans, to heighten the pregame atmosphere in War Memorial Stadium and the Arena-Auditorium on game days by encouraging fans to enter the stadium earlier, to create a new revenue source for UW Athletics and to benefit from other positive effects that have been seen in other college athletic venues as alcohol sales have expanded the past several years.
