For years, college football fans had to resort to tailgating for their pre-game beers, as NCAA rules and various state laws prevented the sale of alcohol inside stadiums. This changed gradually as universities recognized the potential for increased revenue and improved fan experience.
The NCAA began relaxing its stance and by the mid-2010s several schools started to pilot beer sales during games. Today, a significant number of stadiums have embraced this change, though prices can vary dramatically.
As a byproduct many of the nation’s most difficult environments to play in have become all the more ruckus given the inclusion of alcohol.
Let’s break down the most and least expensive beers available in college football stadiums, as highlighted in a recent tweet by @CFBRep.
Most Expensive Beers According to @CFBRep
- Tennessee Volunteers
- Price: $13 per beer
- You had to expect that an SEC program would come in first place, and it did.
- UCLA Bruins and the Colorado Buffs
- Price: $12 per beer
- Minnesota Gold Gophers and Rutgers Scarlet Knights
- Price: $11 per beer
- The Big Ten has two teams tied for third, both coming in north of $10/beer. If you’re in Minneapolis be sure to pair cheese curds with your beer…oh and dress in layers.
- Arkansas Razorbacks, USC Trojans, Oregon St. Beavers, NC State Wolfpack, Syracuse Orange, Virginia Tech Hokies, Purdue Boilermakers and Illinois Fighting Illini.
