WEATHER EXTRA: Beautiful midweek
LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - We’re back on track this mid-May Wednesday with a pleasant forecast settling in. Early cloud cover is quick to thin out with a drier feel to go with the afternoon sunshine. High temperatures should return to the lower 70s today with a very comfortable change of pace for us, though the deep blue skies may appear a bit more whitish or milky in color. Wildfires in Canada and northern Minnesota have fired up once again and some of the smoke may drift overhead during the second half of this week.
Michigan beginning alcohol sales at football games following successful rollouts at its other venues
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Alcohol sales will begin this football season at Michigan Stadium, following the lead of in-state rival Michigan State and a trend of booze being made available at college sports venues across the nation. The Michigan athletic department made the announcement Thursday following successful rollouts of alcohol sales at its hockey and basketball arenas. The university’s Board of Regents voted to implement a liquor license at the “Big House” starting with the Aug. 31 opener against Fresno State. According to a survey by The Associated Press of Power Five conference schools and Notre Dame, 55 of 69 sold alcohol in the public areas of their stadiums last season. Michigan State, Kentucky and Stanford began alcohol sales at their football stadiums in 2023. Michigan started alcohol sales at Yost Ice Arena and Crisler Center in February as a trial run for sales at the football stadium. The athletic department said there were no reported issues related to drunken behavior or medical responses.
