Lawmakers approved allowing liquor or beer to be sold and consumed in stadiums and skyboxes and during college sporting and other events.

 

State law currently bans the sale of alcohol at all intercollegiate or interscholastic events.

 

Under the legislation headed to the governor’s desk, a special license would be needed from the Liquor Commission.

 

The University of New Hampshire sought the change to sell liquor and beer at skyboxes at the Whittemore Center and at its new football stadium.

 

However, the law would allow the sale at other college events throughout the state.
