LSU wants to sell alcohol in Tiger Stadium, but other SEC schools are getting in the way

“We have some that would like to remove the policy and have others that have no interest in that,” Sankey said. “From a stadium wide (standpoint), there are those that think ‘Let’s just take the restraint off the conference level.’ But that’s not a unanimous or, I’m not sure right now, a majority position.”
quote:
The policy only can change through a majority vote of the 14 league presidents and chancellors, a possibility next month at the SEC’s spring meetings in Destin, Florida. LSU athletic director Joe Alleva has made it clear in which corner his school stands: LSU wants the ability to sell, at least, beer throughout Tiger Stadium and other venues.

Then those other schools don’t have to sell it!

I like beer. I am in favor of this.

Honestly the best argument to do this is that people can drink all the beer they want at home and watch every televised game

The picture in the article is not even Tiger Stadium, they used a pic of Jerry World

Have someone leak to the media which schools are against to rack up the pressure.

It interferes with Alabama's tradition.
They don't sell beer the third Saturday in October.

If the wording of the conference rule is that alcohol sales aren't allowed in the stadium, then beer vendors should be allowed to set up immediately outside of the gates of the stadium, so attendees can go downstairs during the game, buy what they want, and re-enter.
I understand Tiger Stadium has a "no re-entry" policy, but a few stadiums have used roped off areas outside for smoking areas with no issues, so the same thing can be done for beer vendors.
Edit: Using this method would also weed out the way-too-drunk who would have to weave all the way down and all the way back up.

According to data obtained through an open records request, Texas raked in $2.8 million in beer sales, $128,321 in wine sales, and another $141,632 in liquor sales during six home games in what ultimately became a 5-7 season. Because of the money this could net, don’t be surprised if a middle ground ends up being the solution and the schools that want to adopt the measures get their way while abstainers get to keep their games dry in non-premium areas.
There would be less binging before the game and hard liquor smuggling into the game. Obvious drunks and underaged would be refused. Plus if UT can rake in $3 million, LSU should nail down $10 million easy in a normal 7 game home season.

It was nice drinking Dixie during the BYU game last year in the Dome. I wish Tiger Stadium would offer beer/alcohol.
The current situation forces me to be trashy and bootleg a flask.

They'll cave whenever they start discussing profits from alcohol sales at UT.

as a former college student, not selling alcohol in the stadium simply results in fans pre gaming harder at the tailgate

I gotta admit, I'm all in with Joe on this one.
It makes so much sense. Studies show it actually curbs binge drinking, keeps people in the stadium longer, and makes massive amounts of revenue for the school.

If they do that, the bathroom lines will be ridiculously long throughout the entire game.

What if we just tell them to go frick themselves and start selling anyways. It’s unreal that this still isn’t allowed

Can we please sell bourbon drinks? Lsu could expand the stadium to 130k if it happened

imo, this is about what has to be done not what the league would like to do. There is a growing realization that many schools have out spent their revenue base. TV money drives most sports but particularly football. There are fewer fans in the stadiums, fewer donors in the boxes and every likelihood that the next tv contract will be less not more. Schools need new revenue sources to fund these ridiculously expensive programs. Really, it's just that simple.

You really think the “visitor” wants the tiger fans to have the ability to keep the tanks full after a typical Tiger tail gate. Some may actually stay in the seats .

I don't understand why schools would give the SEC so much power as to control what each school can sell in their own stadium.
Isn't it the norm that the SEC opposes LSU? LSU is treated like the bastard, red-headed step child of the SEC.
