The University of Nebraska Board of Regents will vote next Friday on whether or not to allow alcohol sales at University of Nebraska sporting events.
According to a release from the University, Husker Athletics plans to sell booze for the 2025-2026 season if the measure is approved. Of course, that would include football and volleyball games next year.
Husker baseball and basketball venues already allow alcohol. People have not been permitted to buy beer or spirits in Memorial Stadium for Husker football games or in the Bob Devaney Sports Center for volleyball matches.
But it was given the green light for Volleyball Day in Nebraska and the Garth Brooks concert in recent years.
The Universities of Michigan and Wisconsin-Madison began selling alcohol this fall, and Northwestern University will also offer alcohol for the first time once its new stadium gets built. As it stands now, that makes the University of Nebraska-Lincoln the only Big Ten school to stay dry.
The meeting will be held at 9 a.m. at the University of Nebraska-Kearney's Regional Engagement Center.
