Alcohol applications filed for University of Arkansas
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.—The concessions company at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville has filed applications to sell alcohol at sports facilities, but the school's athletic director says the university has no plans to expand alcohol sales on campus.
Levy Premium Foodservice LP sent in the permits for baseball, basketball and for the gymnastics and volleyball facilities, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. The company also submitted a request to replace the university's current concessionaire services as the alcohol sales permit holder for its football stadium. Levy is replacing Sodexo as the university's concessions company for athletic events.
"This letter will serve as authorization for Levy to take the necessary steps to obtain a license for the storage and sale of alcoholic beverages in designated areas of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, Bud Walton Arena, Baum Stadium, and Barnhill Arena," a letter from Athletic Director Jeff Long stated.
Long also said, "There are no current plans to approve the sale of alcoholic beverages during intercollegiate athletic events in those venues."
