GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- More than football may be on tap inside Eddie G. Robinson Memorial Stadium this fall.Grambling State is looking to join its neighbors ULM and Louisiana Tech, fellow SWAC member Prairie View A&M and more than 50 Football Bowl Subdivision institutions, that sale alcohol on-campus at sporting events. The permit application to the Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control of the State of Louisiana has been spearheaded by Aramark, GSU’s campus food and beverage partner who handles its concessions at athletic events.
If approved, fans would be able to purchase beer, and potentially other types of alcoholic drinks, while attending Grambling games at The Hole and inside Fredrick Hobdy Assembly Center that houses its women’s and men’s basketball and volleyball team.
“We’ve had several requests the last couple of years to consider bringing alcohol sales to our athletic events,” GSU President Rick Gallot told The News-Star Tuesday.
