Fans in luxury boxes and on the club level will be able to buy alcohol at University of Colorado home football games next season. The rest of Folsom Field will be dry, as it has been since 1996.
University officials said alcohol will be available during the 2003 season in the $50,000-a-year luxury suites that are being built atop the east side of the stadium.
Fans paying $2,250 a season to sit in club seats will be able to drink in the adjoining clubhouse, not in the stands.
“This sends the wrong message to students and, more importantly, to the community at large that we’ve got the haves and the have-nots at Folsom Field,” said Maureen Ediger, chairwoman of the school’s Board of Regents.
