According to Joe Giglio of the News & Observer, North Carolina State’s Board of Trustees “voted unanimously to approve the sale of beer and wine at athletic events on Wednesday.”

Here’s the official statement from the university:

“Although there are many details to be worked out in the next few weeks, sales could begin as early as the football home opener on August 31,” university spokesman Brad Bohlander said in a statement released by the school. “N.C.

According to Giglio, Alcohol can be sold at athletic events, but it’s not clear if it will be sold at every athletic event.

It looks as if the goal is for things to start flowing by the football season opener. This will make Wolfpack head football coach Dave Doeren extremely happy. Doeren believes it will help Carter-Finley’s tremendous environment in the 1st and 2nd quarter into the 2nd half.
