Ohio University to sell beer at football games

ATHENS, Ohio -- Ohio University will allow beer sales during football games starting this season.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that school officials announced the new policy this week.

Officials say the decision comes after feedback from customer surveys. The state's Division of Liquor Control must issue a permit before suds can flow at Peden Stadium during Bobcat home games.

Beer won't be sold on the student side of the stadium, but that won't prohibit students from taking beer to their seats. Beer has been sold the previous three seasons in areas exclusive to university donors.
