The Tuscaloosa City Council approved an ABC application allowing the Tuscaloosa Tennis Center to sell alcohol at its concessions building under a 'special retail more than 30 days' license.
Staff outlined operational requirements: alcohol sales confined to the concessions building, served to patrons aged 21 and older, locked storage units, daily inventory checks, security cameras and on-site consumption only; non-tennis events that are unrelated are prohibited. Jay Logan spoke for the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority and introduced director of tennis Mike Goldhammer, who said alcohol service is intended to provide a social option for adult players.
Officer Champion reported no objections from police. After no public opposition, council members moved, seconded and approved the license with the stated operational conditions.
The license will be administered under the city’s ABC and park authority oversight and is limited to the concessions facility on-site.
