at basketball games.

Students 21 and over were given wristbands and allowed to purchase 3 beers per game and they were able to track it somehow.

It's only a matter of time before LSU gets in on this money trail! LSU needs to test it on basketball and baseball games and see how it works and if there are problems cut it off!

ehh

I guess it could help attendance but most of their students will still remain out on the Boulevard tailgating during the game like they always do.

what was SMU's average attendance for basketball? it's easy to track who purchases what when the crowd is tiny

besides if LSU has beer sales the problem won't be students

works well for WVU
They have actually had less alcohol related incidents at football games and I think they made $1 million in revenue from beer/wine sales

They would have to cut off sales in 4th quarter, 7th inning, and sometime in 2nd half of hoops

What if they weren't students?

"I'm sorry, sir. We only sell beer to students with a valid school ID."

Ole Miss baseball doesn't officially allow it in the outfield. But if you have a cooler they open it up and if there are no beers visible on the top then they let you through. So people just put cokes on the top and it's fine.
