Beer and wine to be sold at home Texas football games beginning Sept. 12

AUSTIN, Texas — Beer and wine will be sold in all public and private areas at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium during Texas home football games beginning Sept. 12, with the 2015 home opener against Rice.

While beer and wine sales in the stadium do not require approval from the UT System Chancellor or Board of Regents, President Gregory Fenves and Chancellor Bill McRaven had thoughtful discussions on the matter, and Chancellor McRaven is supportive of President Fenves' decision.

The new policy for home football games comes after a lengthy pilot program conducted at other Texas Athletics events since early 2014.
