A new state law allows alcoholic drinks to be sold at college sporting events in Michigan.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation last week allowing liquor licenses to be issued to sporting venues at public universities, including Michigan State in East Lansing and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
“Authorizing the legal sale of alcohol at sporting events will bring us on equal footing with other universities, help reduce the likelihood of binge drinking before games, and bring in a heck of a lot more revenue that we can use to improve the student experience,” Whitmer said in a statement.
Whitmer also signed legislation making liquor-to-go permanent, which is expected to generate revenue for restaurants and small businesses.
