University of Arizona plays Arizona State University on Nov. 25, 2016, in Tucson.

The University of Arizona will start selling beer and wine at its football games starting Sept. 1.

Fans at the game between UA and Brigham Young University will be the first to partake in the university’s policy. Beer and wine are currently available to people with private club or box seats. Under the new policy, all fans 21 or older will be able to buy wine and beer.

According to a statement from UA, beer and wine sales are the latest in a series of enhancements Arizona Athletics and the university have made to improve the fan experience.

More than three dozen college football stadiums sell beer, including ASU’s Sun Devil Stadium.
