Beer Sales Brimming in Big Ten, But Not at Wisconsin

Paul Steinbach Headshot

A perennial top-10 party school according to most rankings, the University of Wisconsin may soon be in the minority among Big Ten Conference peers when it comes to abstinence from beer sales at athletic events.

As reported by the Wisconsin State Journal, seven Big Ten schools will have beer flowing in their football stadiums in 2019. The UW is among the seven that will not. A spokesperson for chancellor Rebecca Blank said that she isn’t considering the introduction of beer sales in general seating areas at Badgers home games. "The university believes that there is already an atmosphere of energy and excitement around Badger game days," the spokesperson said. "The addition of alcohol to general seating areas isn’t needed to improve that experience and could detract from it for our students and fans."
