More Suds For Shed

Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre near St. Louis can up its number of beer concessions to 22 sales points, with the blessing of the Maryland Heights, Mo., city council in an August 9 vote.

The venue can open up 22 stands when expected concert attendance is 20,000 or more, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The previous number allowed was 17.

Police may require extra security and even shut down beer sales if necessary as a safety precaution.

The council approved the shed’s request based in part on a police report that cited "the relative good record and history of concert events over the past few years."
