Auburn will sell alcohol at an athletic event for the first time in school history at the Nov. 1 basketball exhibition against Auburn-MontgomeryMatt Cohen For now, Auburn will be limiting alcohol sales to just Neville Arena. Auburn officials plan to rolling out alcohol sales at Jordan-Hare Stadium in future seasons. Auburn released a statement to AL.com on the new concession stands: “After extensive research and discussion, Auburn Athletics made the decision to begin public alcohol sales at Neville Arena for the 2023-24 athletic season which will be followed by gradual roll outs at other athletic venues throughout the year ahead. Currently, 84 percent of all power five schools have public offerings at their venues and Auburn is the last Southeastern Conference institution to implement public sales. Multiple studies show selling alcohol in athletic venues decreases binge drinking and creates a culture with fewer alcohol-related offenses on game day.” Matt Cohen covers Auburn sports for AL.com.

Grumps 3,706 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I like the way the article says that Auburn will "publicly" sell alcohol. Do you suppose there used to be private alcohol sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just smuggling there was alcohol in the suites so maybe that’s what they called private. 💁🏻♂️ Edited November 5, 2023 by gr82be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
