A
University of North Dakota hockey fan who became known as the “Beer
Grandma” said she doesn’t mind stepping down as unofficial team mascot.
Beth Delano, 85, who was featured in commercials for UND after she
gained fame in 2009 when the Fighting Sioux Sports Network photographed
her with a beer in her hand at Ralph Engelstad Arena, said university
officials told her they would no longer be using her for promotions.
University President Robert Kelley decided to end the “Beer Grandma”
campaign and focus on other fans after recent national rankings revealed
the school has a high rate of student drinking.
