Georgia could add alcohol sales at Sanford Stadium in 2020

Beer and wine could be on the menu at Sanford Stadium for Georgia football games this fall. Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity said it would be a big topic of discussion at Georgia’s spring athletic board meetings.

When it comes to implementing the sale of alcohol to the public at athletic events, McGarity’s main concern is being able to do it as well as possible. While he doesn’t want Georgia to be left in the dust when it comes to the trend of selling alcohol at its sporting events, McGarity doesn’t want to cause problems by rushing the process. He recently spoke to the Athens Banner-Herald about this idea.

“If we weren’t interested in perhaps moving forward, we wouldn’t even be going through this exercise,” McGarity said. “Things are trending that way. We certainly don’t want to be behind others but at the same time, we’ve heard of problems that our fans experienced in Nashville and Knoxville. What we don’t want to do is just jump in without a lot of thought and with a good plan that doesn’t affect our current concessions.”
