OSU to consider beer sales in Boone Pickens Stadium

w i l lt r a c y

@ o c o l ly

staff reporter

o’COLLY FILE PHOTOOSU doesn’t sell beer in Boone Pickens Stadium, but it allows people to tailgate and drink alcohol around campus during home football games.

Some universities are tap-ping into stadium beer

sales, but for now, Oklahoma State University is watching from the sidelines.

After this football season, OSU administrators will discuss the possibility of allowing beer sales in Boone Pickens Sta-dium.

Twenty-one college football stadiums allow general admis-sion ticketholders to purchase alcohol, including West Virginia University and Univer-sity of Texas, according to the Associated Press.

Gary Shutt, OSU spokesman, said administrators are closely watching the effects that beer sales have in stadiums nation-wide.

“OSU is watching several

institutions that have allowed beer sales in their stadiums, but certainly the impact it has at the University of Texas is of interest

because of it being part of the Big 12 conference,” Shutt said in an email.

Mike Szul, WVU associate

athletic director, said fans have been able to buy beer in the stadium since 2011.

“They ID everybody under

40,” Szul said. “They also have roaming off-duty police

officers checking people’s IDs and seeing if they bought more than two beers at one time.”

WVU started selling beer to curb alcohol-related problems, Szul said.

“Basically, once you entered the game, you could leave and come back in at any time,” Szul said. “We found a lot of people going out into the park-ing lots and binge drinking, which obviously caused them to be more drunk when they came back into the stadium.”

He said now that WVU al-lows beer sales in its stadium, fans are no longer allowed to re-enter after leaving.

Szul said alcohol-related problems in the stadium have decreased each year since

adopting the policy. Universities that allow beer

sales gain an average net profit of $576,000, accord-ing to a 2013 Journal of Sport Management study. But that additional profit only accounts for an estimated 0.89 percent of total profit for the average athletic department.

Alcohol sales in WVU’s stadium lead to a 35 percent decrease of alcohol-related al-tercations, according to a 2015 study on game day drinking, published by The Compass.

If fans have access to alco-hol in the stadium, they’re less likely to binge drink before the game, the study showed.

Kelley Sittner, an OSU soci-ology assistant professor who specializes in substance use, said alcohol sales in Boone

Pickens Stadium would have a minor effect on alcohol-related problems.

“Pregaming will not be af-fected much by the availability of beer inside the stadium,” Sittner said in an email. “It might reduce binge drinking during the game, however, as people won’t feel the need to rush outside at halftime to drink as much as they can be-fore they re-enter the stadium.”

OSU doesn’t allow the sale of alcohol in the general con-cessions area.

“In the past it was perceived to be a possible safety and security issue, and the NCAA in the past had frowned upon it,” Shutt said in an email.

OSU students have mixed feelings about beer sales in Boone Pickens Stadium.

Jordan Nitzel, hotel restau-rant and administration sopho-more, said OSU shouldn’t sell beer in the stadium.

“I think people drink enough before the games that they shouldn’t have to do it in-side the stadium,” Nitzel said.

Justin Thimesch, landscape management senior, said fans should be able to buy beer.

“A lot of kids want to drink a lot more before the game to keep their buzz,” Thimesch said. “You wouldn’t have people drinking so much before because they could buy beer in the stadium.”

People who pay for suites at Boone Pickens Stadium are allowed to bring their own al-cohol, and OSU offers alcohol to those in club seating.

Cowboy Dining, which is a

part of OSU, handles conces-sions for the whole stadium. Additionally, it handles the sale of alcohol to those in club seating.

Shutt said OSU makes a small profit from club-level alcohol sales, which benefits Cowboy Dining.

People are allowed to drink on campus during home football games because OSU considers tailgates private events, Shutt said. But fans aren’t allowed to bring their own alcohol into the stadium.

“The university will gather data regarding revenue, alcohol-related arrests and safety and security issues as it considers the issue,” Shutt said in an email.

COWBOY FANS RALLY IN DOWNTOWN STILLWATERBy Alex Marianos

Oklahoma State University Athletics is partnering with Downtown Stillwater’s Friday Food Trucks & Tunes to bring Cowboy spirit and orange pride to Stillwater on the Fridays before OSU home football games. Amy Jo Frazier, business improvement district coordinator for Downtown Stillwater, has been organizing Friday Food Trucks & Tunes since its first season in 2014. “My goal when starting Friday Food Trucks & Tunes was to give downtown Stillwater a venue to show off its growth and expansion,” Frazier said. “People are looking for new things to do in Stillwater and because downtown is the heart of Stillwater, I felt this was a great place to foster a sense of community.”

After the success of Friday Food Trucks & Tunes in the summer, Frazier decided to expand the monthly event to Friday before home OSU football games. “When people come to Stillwater for football games, they need

something to do the night before a game,” Frazier said. “Having the event the Friday before the game gives people more reasons to visit Stillwater. It also allows us to show the city off to season ticket holders and alumni.”

With a limited budget, Frazier approached Oklahoma State Athletics about the use of its branded inflatables. When Tia Harring, assistant athletic director for marketing and promotions, received a proposal from Frazier to trade the use of inflatables for a free booth spot for athletics, she was sold. “We agreed to let them use the inflatables at each event and athletics would set up a booth nearby to answer any questions regarding athletics, game day, ticket sales or anything else,” Harring said. The event has certainly been a success. The first Friday Food Trucks & Tunes of fall was before OSU’s home season opener against Central Arkansas. The event drew an estimated 5,500 people and Frazier expects it to grow. “My goal with the OSU Football Friday Night

Pre-Game Pep Rally Party is to create an OSU tradition,” Frazier said. “This really resonates with the Cowboy family.” OSU Athletics fully supports the program and thinks it is a great way to reach the community on an individual level. “People love food trucks and we just felt it was another opportunity to get out in the community and be more accessible to our fans,” Harring said. There will be a Friday Food Trucks & Tunes before every home game with the exception of Bedlam and Homecoming. The next one is set for Friday, October 2.

Cowboys ride to Austin to face re-emerged Longhorns

Two teams with different mindsets will be taking the field Saturday in Austin.

Oklahoma State is coming off a 69-14 victory over UTSA in which the defense and special teams forced seven turnovers. Texas’ Saturday didn’t go as well.

The Longhorns scored 20 unanswered points against Cali-fornia to narrow their deficit to one point. While Texas players celebrated the comeback on the sidelines, Longhorn kicker Nick Rose missed the PAT, giving Cal the 45-44 victory. The loss dropped Texas’ record to 1-2 heading into conference play.

“I just know that probably made them more hungry to beat us,” OSU safety Tre Flowers said. “They probably feel like they shouldn’t have lost that game. I know they don’t want to lose another one, so it’s gonna

be a great week.”If one good thing came out

of the loss for Texas, it was the emergence of redshirt fresh-man Jerrod Heard. In just his second start, Heard tallied a school-record 527 yards of total offense and accounted for three touchdowns, including the one to set up the missed extra point. Although it was in a losing effort, Heard’s performance has given Texas hope just in time for its Big 12 opener against the Cowboys.

“(Heard’s) one of those guys you throw in the game and just let him loose he’ll turn it on,” OSU backup quarterback J.W. Walsh said. “He’s got a special moxie about him that most people don’t. He’s a very dangerous player whenever he gets going like that because he can just light it up.”

Walsh has special insight on the Longhorns’ new star. Heard and Walsh both graduated from Guyer High School in Denton, Texas, where Walsh’s father, John Walsh, served as their coach. Heard served as Walsh’s understudy during their years together.

“I don’t even need to talk to my dad very much (for insight on Heard),” Walsh said. “Me and Jerrod, I’ve been watching him since he was in seventh grade. I know him pretty well. I’m excited to get to watch him,

to be on the same field as him and watch him.

“You could just tell in everything that he did (growing up), whether it was football, basketball or track, he was a winner.”
