I don't think you understand what this means but ok.

The problem I think is you are judging our fan base by yours. And equating Tiger Stadium with Sanford.



I've done neither

Louisianans as a whole don't have the same hang ups about drinking as our Bible Belt SEC brethern largely do.


You act like I haven't been to TS multiple times or undestand the "event" that is an LSU home game. You're not telling me new information

quote:

Tiger Stadium has about twice the premium seating


we're not talking abotu premium seating that already has access to alcohol. You can drink the suites at Sanford but if magically you could buy beer at Sanford those suites wouldn't affect the number of alcohol sales. We're talking about the general seating public that would be able to buy alcohol that as of now has previously not been able to.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me to learn that the University of Georgia was one of the schools opposed to the selling of alcohol at SEC events.


conjecture

I don't take issue with other fan bases beliefs, except when they try to restrict others based on those same beliefs.


How is this relevant to my original post that you replied to?



My whole point, that you glossed right over, is that 45K people (or half of the general seated public) aren't gonna be purchasing alcohol. I don't care how much your fanbase likes to drink, that is just incredibly unrealistic.

You just made my case for me. I'm saying the number of drinkers in "general seated public" is about half that, between 25K-30K from the remaining 82K+ in Tiger Stadium. Because about 20K of the premium seating with access to alcohol will be drinking.

I can understand your confusion to an extent, because Tiger Stadium along with Arkansas's RR Stadium are two of the very few stadiums with that high a number of total premium seating.

Edit: Forgot to add Ms. St.'s Davis Wade Stadium with 132 suites and 2,500+ club seats. Alabama's BDS, Tenn.'s Neyland Stadium, and TAMU's Kyle Field are somewhat behind that trio
