Alcohol at BE venues?

[LewEE]

$1 beers at the CU game last night got me wondering, is there alcohol at every BE venue? Does it change when teams play on campus?

Butler doesn't sell alcohol at Hinkle. The campus isn't dry, it just chooses not to sell alcohol at the games.

The Wildman Room offers alcohol before the game and during halftime, but it's for athletic department donors only.

To clear up any confusion, one game per year CU offers "customer appreciation night" – $1 twelve ounce beers or soda for 90 minutes prior to tip off but not after the game starts . It's not the typical beer sold in the arena - smaller servings and the beer for $1 is sold only at a couple of concession stands in the arena and the lines for them are at least 30 minutes long. You can buy two beers. I stood in line one year for a really long time just to get my hands on a couple of beers and swore I would never waste my time to do it again.

Don't give me wrong, it's nice for Creighton to do this. I'm not sure I've seen any arenas anywhere do that before. But it's not like the beer is flowing all night long at one dollar apiece.

Wish we had one of those $1 nights. Marquette does have beer sales at the Bradley Center, but it's $8 for domestic and $9 for premiums.

The Dunk sells beer, wine, and mixed drinks at all games. However, the prices are equivalent to Fenway Park prices, which are the most expensive in MLB.

At the Garden of course alcohol is sold, but on campus at Carnesecca it's dry so nothing there. The most you will see at CA is popcorn and soda.

No $1 beers but Cintas has a pretty wide selection of craft and domestic beers.

No beer or alcohol outside the couple of suites at the Pavilion. Wells Fargo Center has the standard full NBA arena bars and concessions.

Villanova doesn't have a full retail liquor license right now, but that is going to change shortly when they open an on-campus pub. That license will clear the way for beer sales at Pavilion games, which would be wonderful.

No $1 beers but Cintas has a pretty wide selection of craft and domestic beers.

Unfortunately, those craft beers are $9 for a 16oz cup. The upside is that I don't drink as much as when they were cheaper

Does Xavier run Cintas internally? Or does Aramark or similar run the place?
