We should be allowed if we want too. SEC officials in Alafrickinbama forbid it.

I always thought it was interesting that when the east upper deck and suites were built at Tiger Stadium, the SEC rule was no alcohol in the stadium so the new structure was built free standing and does not actually touch the stadium. That's how they get away with alcohol in the suites. I don't know what the current rules are and if they are serving it in the new suites on the south end, but I can't imagine they aren't.

Couple ideas of doing this that would at least make he idea a reality.

1. NO sales in student section
2. Stop selling with 10min left in 3rd

Like I said, we have basically been told not to. There is no official rule that we are required to follow in the SEC Constitution or Bylaws

From that article and another:

quote:

Also, the SEC alcohol policy appears only in the conference's game management policies and there will be discussion about formalizing the policy into the commissioner's regulations, Vincent said.




quote:

The policy referenced by Dunlap does not appear in the formal SEC Constitution or Bylaws, and there’s no mention of any enforcement mechanism. In 2009, LSU athletic department official Herb Vincent referred to the policy as more of an “unsaid decision that’s been made among the league schools that we’re not going to sell alcohol.” He added that LSU, which permits premium seatholders to bring their own booze, might reconsider its policy if other SEC members followed suit.

Slive uses the word rule. If it is in the by laws or not, we are arguing semantics to sit there and correct every person that says it is a rule.
