The University of Idaho is asking Idaho’s State Board of Education to amend its alcohol permit policy to allow pre-game alcohol sales in the Fan Zone and tailgating in Kibbie Dome parking lots.

The board will consider a first reading of the proposal when it meets Friday at Idaho State University in Pocatello.

The university’s request to serve pre-game alcohol – as well as a similar request from Boise State University – was denied last year/Mary Stone, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
