Bars near new U of M stadium want more room

Bar owners near the new University of Minnesota football stadium are seeking city permission to serve drinks outside their walls on game days.
At least three bars a few blocks from the stadium have asked for a revised ordinance allowing the game-day expansions. No alcohol will be sold in the stadium itself.
A current city ordinance allows for four such expansions per year with a separate application required for each. The proposal would lift that cap.
Area councilman Cam Gordon predicts the proposed ordinance will win approval.
Some neighborhood residents say the establishments should be required to beef up security if they get permission to serve liquor in their parking lots.
The first of seven home games in the stadium's inaugural season is Sept. 12.
