About 40% of selling locations will remain open through the end of the game for fans to purchase food and drinks.
The Astros announced the change on Thursday.Officials say the seat vendors will still stop selling at the end of the 7th inning, but sales will continue at about 40% of selling locations until the game ends.
If the game runs longer than four hours after first pitch, alcohol sales will be cut off. Sales can also be ended at building management discretion, and the Astros will continue to reserve the right to not serve a fan at its discretion.FILE PHOTO.

Teams historically have stopped selling alcohol after the seventh inning. However, thanks to the pitch clock, the action is moving much faster at Major League Baseball games.It also means a little less time for fans to enjoy a frosty adult beverage. To combat that time crunch, at least four teams — the Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers — have extended alcohol sales through the eighth inning this season.
