ALCOHOL SALES
Since receiving approval from the South Dakota Board of Regents to expand the sale of alcoholic beverages at campus athletic events in June, University and athletic officials, along with representatives from campus hospitality provider Sodexo, met several times to finalize a series of policies that will be in effect at the Jackrabbits' volleyball match against South Dakota Saturday, October 1 at Frost Arena.
Â
In order to purchase alcohol, all fans — regardless of age — must present a valid ID at the designated station located on the 2nd level of the Arena by the concession stand on the east side of the arena. Board policy requires each fan to have his or her ID on them at all times as age verification will take place at points of sale and beyond. Alcohol sales at volleyball Saturday will be available at the concession stand located on the east end of Frost Arena.
Alcohol sales at Frost Arena  — consisting of beer and seltzer only — will start one hour prior to opening serve. Per BOR policy, alcohol sales will end either at the beginning of the third set (if one team wins sets one and two) or at the end of the third set (if the teams split sets one and two). Fans should note that section BB on the north side of the arena has been designated as an alcohol-free zone.Â
Â
All transactions at alcohol kiosks in the stadium concourses will be processed by credit card only. For SDSU students, payment via campus meal plans will not be accepted for alcohol sales.
