North Texas joins a growing list of schools who now sell beer such as: Texas, Texas Tech, UT Arlington, UT-El Paso, UT-San Antonio and Houston as state universities that currently serve beer at designated athletic events.

The athletics department, university administration, the office of risk management and University police were all part of the collaborative effort to develop a plan to create an environment that will not negatively affect the enjoyment of the game for any fans.
