No increase in alcohol-related issues after first UW football game with beer sales, police say

At the first University of Wyoming football game since the school began selling beer and wine at War Memorial Stadium, law enforcement said it was much like games in past years.

“I can tell you there was no significant difference that was noticed by law enforcement at the University of Wyoming game in the sense of wine and alcohol sales,” Laramie Police Department Lt. Gwen Smith said. “Of course, we don’t know if that would be the trend or if there were other factors in play at this game.”

University of Wyoming Police Department Chief Mike Samp echoed Smith.
