UGA Football Games Won't Sell Alcohol This Year: Reports

GEORGIA — Bulldog fans will have to go without the beer and alcohol while cheering on their favorite team this year. The University of Georgia won’t be selling either at the Sanford Stadium in 2022, according to reports.

UGA Athletic Director Josh Brooks told The Athens Banner-Herald that unless fans are sitting in premium seats, they’ll have to wait at least one more season if they want to purchase a beer at the Sanford Stadium. There will be no public alcohol sales in 2022 for all home games.

The university has been slowly rolling out alcohol sales such as beer and alcoholic seltzer this past season for men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball games, they reported.

UGA wants to move slowly on alcohol sales, reported WSB-TV.

“That’s not even a discussion point right now,” Brooks said “We introduced it at Stegeman, Foley Field and softball and it’s been a slow roll out. We’re going to be very intentional about that. That’s just not on the agenda right now for Sanford.”

Beer and wine have been for sale at football games since 2019 in some club areas that require donations to the athletic program, reported WSB. Alcohol can be brought before games for those renting private suites.

Georgia became the 11th Southeastern Conference school to offer alcohol sales at athletic venues.
