Quote:Georgia is considering jumping into alcohol sales for the general public in time for the 2020 football season.

Athletic director Greg McGarity expects the sale of beer and wine at athletic events to be a topic at Georgia’s spring athletic board meetings, scheduled for June 3-5.

“If we weren’t interested in perhaps moving forward, we wouldn’t even be going through this exercise,” McGarity said. “Things are trending that way. We certainly don’t want to be behind others, but at the same time, we’ve heard of problems that our fans experienced in Nashville and Knoxville.

“What we don’t want to do is just jump in without a lot of thought and with a good plan that doesn’t affect our current concessions.”

Tennessee and Vanderbilt are among SEC schools that sold alcohol in general seating areas last football season. Other SEC schools that took advantage after league presidents and chancellors lifted its ban last spring on alcohol sales to the general public include Arkansas, LSU, Missouri and Texas A&M.

South Carolina and Florida joined in this basketball season.

Good find.

At this point UGA, UK, Alabama, Auburn, and Mississippi State are the only five that haven't started sales at athletic events.
