Iowa's local economy is thriving thanks to smart, community-focused initiatives! In 2023 alone, alcohol sales at University of Iowa football games generated over $3 million—a 29% increase compared to the previous year. These revenues support more than just the stadium; they ripple through local businesses, from nearby bars and restaurants to small retailers and service providers.

This surge in economic activity shows that responsible alcohol sales at sporting events are a win-win for both the fans and the local economy. By extending these programs to other sporting events and venues across the state, we can multiply these benefits, creating new jobs, boosting tax revenue, and providing essential funding for community projects.

Beyond the direct economic gains, this initiative also improves the overall fan experience, drawing more visitors to local events and keeping more dollars in Iowa’s towns and cities. With careful oversight and proven success, expanding alcohol sales at more sporting venues could generate millions more in revenue for small businesses and public services.

Sign this petition to urge lawmakers across all states and local communities to expand responsible alcohol sales at major sporting events across the state!

Let’s strengthen our communities by investing in opportunities that fuel economic growth, enhance public resources, and ensure that local businesses benefit from the excitement of every game. Cheers to growth!
