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.

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.

At least two SEC programs, Texas A&M and Auburn, opened this season a type of beer garden in their baseball stadiums, selling alcohol in sequestered areas removed from bleacher seating. LSU opened a football version of this in 2017 atop the south end zone, turning a 1,500-seat general admission area — with bleacher seating — into a designated space for alcohol sales that the school calls The Skyline Club.
Admittance into the spaces at Texas A&M and Auburn is $5. Tickets in the Skyline Club are $45 and up. The league approved plans for these newly created areas, as they met “the expectation on oversight, private area and controlled space for review
