The sale of alcohol in Tiger Stadium

All along, I've thought and been told its an SEC rule that alcohol can't be sold in Tiger Stadium. This issue has been beaten to death on these boards. ULL will start allowing the sale of it in their stadium this fall. But read the comments from Herb Vincent in this article, makes it sound like its not an SEC rule, but up to each school. Interesting.

Alcohol is also not allowed in the general seats at Tiger Stadium, but if you sit right above those areas, in the box seats, you can drink alcohol. "It's easier to control," said LSU Associate Vice Chancellor Herb Vincent. "It's a game management issue." Vincent says because none of the other schools in the Southeastern Conference allow alcohol in general seating, LSU does not feel pressured to change their policy. "It's kind of an unsaid decision that's been made among the league schools that we're not going to sell alcohol," Vincent said. Vincent says if SEC schools start to sell it though, LSU may reconsider. There is no SEC or NCAA policy in place banning alcohol sales at college sports. It's left up to each individual campus to decide.
