I sat in the new south upper and bought beer. What makes them different?


Premium seats can have access to alcohol. Also, the upper decks aren't considered part of the stadium. Which is why LSU could get away with the recent conversion of the 1,500 general seats to the new Skyline Club.

Now 100% of the fans in the new SEZ expansion have access to alcohol.



LSU is doing all they can to get around this insane prohibition.

You're not 100% accurate on this. The upper decks aren't considered part of the stadium for the purpose of TAF donations. Louisiana has a law that limits the percentage of seats that TAF can control, and the way the upper decks were constructed, TAF can control 100% of those seats plus the percent of the lower bowl stated in the law.

The Skyline club was part of an SEC pilot program with a few schools to study the idea of alcohol sales. Part of the program terms was that the seating area had to be isolated, and that's why they moved the visitors section and created the Skyline club.

Based on this line of thinking, LSU should just build another wall around the field and student section. That is now the main section. The rest of Tiger Stadium is separate and "premium" seating.
