Procedures Overview:

? Aramark has received a North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission Temporary Permit (to be made permanent by January 2020) and a City of Wilmington Privilege License for Trask Coliseum. This procedure will be repeated for additional venues.

? Beer and wine will be sold at new stations in Trask Coliseum ? separate from existing food and beverage concessions. Locations were determined in coordination with the city fire marshal.

? In conformance with similar venues' best practices, UNCW plans to initially sell beer in cans and/or plastic bottles only ? not on draft.

? There will be one line downstairs, selling beer, wine, and snacks such as chips and popcorn.

? For men's games, there will also be up to eight lines upstairs, in the Golden Hawk Room, selling beer, wine, snacks and some hot foods.

? A wristband is required to purchase alcohol. Downstairs and upstairs, there will be a station where fans can receive a wristband. Trained workers will check ID before issuing a wristband.
