WSU Votes to Extend Alcohol at Games | Spokane News

Washington State University’s controversial beer and wine sales at home football games are on the verge of becoming official policy — with a vote this week deciding whether to extend the pilot program. While alcohol remains banned in the student section, it’s available elsewhere in Gesa Field, sparking safety concerns that led to new rules: tighter sales zones, crackdowns on field-throwing mini Fireballs, and potential ejections or ticket revocations for repeat offenders. With 80% of major college sports programs now allowing alcohol at games, WSU joined the trend last year and is pushing for long-term approval. The Liquor and Cannabis Board’s licensing team recommends a one-year extension, praising WSU and vendor Aramark for their responsiveness — while also emphasizing education and responsible drinking culture for those over 21. The final decision is due Tuesday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
