FHSU Athletics
HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State Athletics announced there will be a few changes at home football games held at Lewis Field Stadium during the 2023 season. FHSU will now have beer sales at Lewis Field Stadium and there will be a no re-entry policy.
FHSU will facilitate beer sales at Lewis Field Stadium for the first time this fall. FHSU had a task force study this opportunity over the past couple of years and believes, if monitored appropriately, this serves as a revenue stream, enhances the game-day environment, and provides a safer and more responsible environment for alcohol consumption on game days.
Beer will be sold inside the northeast and southwest corners of Lewis Field Stadium. Individuals must be 21 years of age to purchase alcohol and fans are limited to two beers purchased per transaction.
With the approval of beer sales inside the stadium, FHSU will be implementing a no re-entry policy at Lewis Field Stadium. This means if a fan leaves the stadium, subject to limited exceptions, they will not be allowed back in.
FHSU will continue to allow the consumption of alcohol in the parking lot for four (4) hours prior to kickoff, per its Tailgating Guidelines. As in years past, this authorization for alcohol consumption in the parking lot ends at kickoff. While the authorized timeline for consumption of alcohol is not a change from the past, the no re-entry policy is expected to help address issues of compliance and enforcement. Plastic cups are no longer required for drinks, but glass containers and kegs are not allowed.
