Army West Point Athletics to Introduce Sale of Alcoholic Beverages at Football Games

WEST POINT, N.Y. Alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at Army West Point football games beginning with the August 29 game vs. Tarleton State.

“The opportunity to purchase alcohol has become common practice at college athletic venues across the country, and we’re pleased to introduce it here at West Point as part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the gameday experience,” said Tom Theodorakis, Army West Point Director of Athletics. “Prioritizing the fan experience is a core pillar of our Fruits of Victory strategic plan, and this initiative is one of several designed to improve the atmosphere and overall enjoyment for those who support the Black Knights at Michie Stadium. At the same time, we remain fully committed to ensuring a safe, family-friendly environment for all fans.”

Under the new policy, executed by the Army West Point Athletics’ new hospitality partner, Levy, fans will be able to purchase beer and ready-to-drink cocktails during games, with a limit of two drinks per transaction to promote responsible consumption and maintain public safety.

In addition to enhancing the fan experience, a portion of the revenue generated from alcohol sales will support the Army West Point Athletic Association’s mission of providing an extraordinary athletic experience for the cadet-athletes who compete across all 30 teams.
