Mitch Vingle: Beer here? Marshall might start selling suds at games
Marshall fans might be able to buy beer during Thundering Herd football games at Joan C. Edwards Stadium this fall.If there’s a topic folks in the Mountain State sit up straight for it’s beer.
When WVU decided to sell beer at its football games back in 2011, headlines were made. Actually, good headlines were made. Not only were concession sales up ($516,000 in beer sales in the first year alone), calls, arrests and charges filed to police were down after the school canceled the “pass-out” policy. Once you went into the game, you could not leave and return.
