2. Athletics

The licensed food contractor who serves alcohol at athletic facilities will be responsible for the sale and service of all alcohol on behalf of the Texas State Athletics Department. However, if beer or wine has been donated, the athletic department's Bobcat Athletic Foundation administrator, or designee, will assume the responsibility for risk management in the service of all alcoholic beverages in the Maroon and Gold Room, in the J. Garland Warren Room, suites, and the private boxes at all athletic stadiums, complexes, and coliseums (see Attachment III). The contractor or Athletic Department administrator will follow TABC rules and regulations associated with TABC licensure. Complete guidelines are included as Attachment III.

a. Athletic personnel must have possession of an approved Alcoholic Beverage Activity form (Attachment IV) prior to all athletic events in which alcohol will be served in the J. Garland Warren Room, End Zone Complex, Pavilion, suites, and on the Club Level; Strahan Coliseum in the Maroon and Gold Room; and the suites at the baseball and softball complexes. The Office of Special Projects will ensure that there is an approved Alcoholic Beverage Activity form (Attachment IV) prior to presidential receptions.

In accordance with Texas State rules and regulations and NCAA rules, athletic staff and the university's licensed beverage contractor will ensure that there is no consumption of alcoholic beverages on athletic playing fields, in sports arenas, or in other Texas State athletic facilities, except in the locations noted in section "2." (above).

d. When alcohol is served, an alternative non-alcoholic beverage and food must also be made available.
