UI fans still want to buy alcohol at games

Vandal football fans told the University of Idaho they want the option to purchase alcohol at games, so school officials are again asking their governing body for permission to allow liquor sales.

The request will be made Thursday during an Idaho State Board of Education meeting at North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene. The state board oversees higher education in Idaho and serves as UI's board of regents.

The board declined to allow UI to include alcohol sales at its Fan Zone pre-game events last year, citing board policy that requires alcohol to be served on campus only when written invitations have been issued. A similar request by Boise State University was rejected as well/Mary Stone, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Should the Education Board permit alcohol sales at University of Idaho football games?
