12:27 PM CT Associated Press BATON ROUGE, La. -- Louisiana State University is eyeing an outdoor beer garden for its football stadium, but the idea would have to pass muster with the Southeastern Conference.

The Advocate reports that LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said during a pregame radio show Saturday that the university has "some concepts on the board" for adding food courts and possibly an outdoor drinking area at Tiger Stadium. He said those ideas are "are on the horizon." Under SEC rules, alcohol sales at the stadium are currently limited to suites and other premium seating areas.

Alleva says expanded beer sales would boost revenue and attendance and could make it less likely that fans binge drink before they enter the stadium.

Firing Miles would make fans less likely to binge drink. Probably cheaper just to do that.

Wtf? Go sit your arse down and watch the game. A fricking beer garden? Go to the mall if you want to go to a food court.

I really hope the SEC sees the logic in this.

Why can the big wigs buy alcohol in the stadiums but us regular folks cannot? A beer garden sounds awesome. Covington, Abita and NOLA among others would surely jump on board very quickly

Because big boosters have enough influence to get the SEC to give them what they want.

I'm still trying to figure out where this would be. Maybe if they could clear out that area out front that has media trucks and sell beer there.
