Survey shows Nebraska Cornhuskers fans favor alcohol sales, OK with gambling at Memorial Stadium

A survey of more than 20,000 Nebraska fans showed nearly three-fourths want or would have no problem with alcohol sales in Memorial Stadium, and more than half would be OK with sports wagering on-site.

The athletic department in January sent surveys to more than 220,000 season-ticket holders, single-game ticket buyers and donors, and 21,782 responded. Results were released Tuesday.

University regents voted last month to allow campus leaders to decide whether to sell alcohol at sports venues. University president Ted Carter said there would be no alcohol sales at Memorial Stadium in 2022, but beer was available at Pinnacle Bank Arena for the Big Ten wrestling tournament this past weekend.
