The Lincoln City Council on Monday approved a resolution to allow the sale of beer, wine and liquor during University of Nebraska basketball games at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
The council — with member Sändra Washington absent — unanimously approved waiving its three-reading rule on passing ordinances so officials could move more quickly to get the new plan up and running.
Several council members said many fans expect to be able to buy alcohol Sunday when the Husker men being play, since the NU Regents already have signed off on the plan. It was unclear whether the council’s action Monday would be sufficient to allow that to happen.
