Let the booze flow.
Settling a long dispute, Gov. Mark Dayton Friday signed a measure to
allow alcohol sales at the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank stadium.
The new law would allow sales through at least half-time at football games. The Legislature and the University had deadlocked on the issue after U officials planned to only allow drinking in the expensive suites. Legislators, in populous outcry, banned all drinking in the stadium unless folks in the cheap seats were allowed to drink as well.
Now, with the governor's signature on the measure Friday, the University, which welcomed the agreement, will have to figure out the details of the new stadium drinking.
