Alcohol will be available at the Breslin Center and Munn Ice Arena starting in Jan. 2024, MSU Athletics Department spokesperson Matt Larson announced Thursday

At the Breslin Center, alcohol sales will begin on Jan. 4 for the men’s basketball game against Penn State and on Jan. 9 for the women’s basketball game against Maryland. At the Munn Ice Arena, alcohol sales will begin on Jan. 5 for the men’s hockey game against the U.S. National Team Development Program

Sales will start one hour prior to the start of the game. For basketball games, sales will close at the beginning of the second half, and for hockey games, sales will close at the end of the second intermission

Both beer and seltzer options will be available and prices will range from $10 to $12. Exact points of sale will be announced at a later date. 

The same regulations that were applied for alcohol sales at Spartan Stadium for football games will be in place for alcohol sales at Breslin Center and the Munn Ice Arena. The regulations are as follows:

  • All patrons will be required to show ID at every purchase. There's a limit of two alcoholic beverages per transaction. If an individual is already in possession of one beverage, they will only be permitted to purchase one additional beverage.
  • All employees selling alcohol will be required to have appropriate training and certification to distribute and sell alcohol as required by Michigan Liquor Control Board policies.
  • Alcohol is not permitted to leave the venue.
  • Fans are strongly encouraged to recycle their beverage cans.
  • Fake IDs presented will be confiscated and individuals will be referred to law enforcement. Students presenting fake IDs also will be subject to the student conduct process.
