Get ready to drink a beer while watching college football at stadiums in Michigan. State House lawmakers have passed a bill that will allow alcohol sales at sporting events if the university boards approve. The legislation now goes to Governor Whitmer for her signature. Hamtramck Representative Abraham Aiyash was a no vote.
“I would just implore my colleagues if they really believe in the Big Ten schools here in Michigan and all the other schools in our great state that you think twice before you vote today on whether or not we should make our fans drunk in the middle of a beautiful sports match that so many of us enjoy.”
If the governor signs the bill, the first sales could take place this fall. Grand Valley State University and Western Michigan University have already announced intentions to start selling alcohol at games.
