N.C. A&T to sell alcohol at its football games By John Newsom john.newsom@greensboro.com 6 hrs ago The university’s Board of Trustees on Friday approved a resolution that permits alcoholic beverage sales at most of its sports venues. Athletics Director Earl Hilton said after the unanimous vote that A&T plans to sell alcohol at football games starting this fall, but won’t extend sales to other facilities. A&T joins at least three other UNC System schools — East Carolina, N.C. State and UNC-Chapel Hill — that recently expanded their policies regarding alcohol sales. UNC-Charlotte will launch a one-year pilot program this fall to test alcohol sales there. Hilton said A&T officials will work out the details over the next month. He said fans will be able to buy alcohol at several places within BB&T Stadium and that alcohol sales will end after the third quarter. Click Here for the Entire Article...

For those that enjoy a nice cold beverage, it will be great. For those that don't wish to partake, it will be status quo.

We use to do it in Highschool when we would go to games . Those are not the ones I'm worried about . It's the underaged drinkers and there Buddy's that concern me . Like I said I got a bad feeling but that is just me when it comes to being around people drinking alcohol .

Like I said I got a bad feeling but that is just me when it comes to being around people drinking alcohol . I'm sure we'll agressively check id's. Besides underage drinkers aren't likely to pay the high cost for a single cup of beer. They'll have an easier time getting it in the tailgate lot.
