How interesting. I recall John Arrillaga wasn't a fan of alcohol being sold at games, and so we stopped (with the understanding that he would make up for the revenue loss). I wonder the reason for the change--have we been selling alcohol at other kinds of games?

Nope; this is the first one, according to the linked article:

"After conversations with colleagues across the University, we have identified the 2020 baseball season as the ideal opportunity to introduce the sale of beer and wine at Stanford Athletics events," said the Jaquish and Kenninger Director of Athletics Bernard Muir. "We are committed to providing a quality game day experience for all fans and to doing so safely and responsibly. Our hope is that this pilot program is successful and opens the door to expanding to other venues in the future."
