Jun. 14—Lansing — The Michigan Senate voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to allow university athletic stadiums to sell alcohol, a change that would put the state's two largest schools on par with the majority of their counterparts in the Big Ten conference.
Approved 36-2, the bill now goes to the state House for consideration. Sen. Sean McCann, D-Kalamazoo, the sponsor of the proposal, said on Tuesday fans could "have beers in their hands in the fall."
McCann said Michigan had become an outlier compared to the rest of the Big Ten conference and universities wanted to be able to sell alcohol.
