Ranking and discussion of the Big East Arenas

The Carrier Dome (it is on campus) definitely sells beer. I've enjoyed a few, and worn a few, over the years.

There was no Big East ban in the past.

This article says that the NCAA bans sales/ads at their championship events, but is not involved in on campus decisions. So it sounds like its up to the school.

I believe it's up to the school but some conference's do ban sales league wide. I think I remember reading somewhere that the SEC doesn't allow sales for any of their events.

Some schools are burdened by rules of their conference; some public schools are burdened by laws of their states; some schools just choose not to sell. While it’s a state law in Nebraska that public universities can’t sell alcohol on campus (with exceptions, private suites being one of them), Creighton isn’t held to this law. It chooses not to sell alcohol at on-campus athletic facilities (though it has no problem doing so at an on-campus bar). There have been rumors and signs forever that these chains are loosening –- there is often alcohol on the upper level of the soccer arena, there was beer sold in the stadium when it played host to a U.S. Women’s National Team game, etc. –- but so far, no such luck. Basketball and baseball are off campus, though.

For the record there was beer sold at a Cu soccer game at an event named "Soctoberfest"

Yup.

Then again, there isn't much else to do in upstate NY besides drink. Heavily...
