Alcohol is coming to the Masses at Williams and Mariucci Arenas

The University of Minnesota regents voted unanimously Friday to allow beer and wine sales in the general seating sections of Williams and Mariucci. Prior to the change, only TCF Bank stadium had alcohol sales for general admission.

The change was supported by Eric Kaler along with Mark Coyle. According to the Star Tribune Coyle had the backing of campus police, risk management and student services, along with the Fan Advisory council.

To the extent that we have an editorial position on such topics, we at The Daily Gopher are unsurprisingly in support of the change.
