St. John’s University is a dry campus, and students are prohibited from having alcohol on campus grounds. Unless it’s sold to them at basketball games.
The St. John’s University Athletic Department, in partnership with Chartwells Higher Ed, began selling alcoholic beverages at Carnesecca Arena on Nov. 17 — following a years-long effort by fans and students to bring alcohol to their on-campus arena.
“Chartwells, the University’s food services vendor, is offering beer and hard seltzer for sale in the concession stands in Carnesecca Arena,” said Sarah Jean Kelly, the University’s vice president for student success and retention strategy.
