This. I'm sure LSU would be the first SEC school to sell alcohol if they could.

serving them more alcohol during the game might lose that notorious home field crowd, as they would pass out midway through the 2nd quarter.
So you don't think they smuggle the hard liquor in instead.

I went to school at ulm, graduated in 01, in my 4-1/2 years I meet went to one game, just stayed tailgating and drinking. Brought out a tv and satellite and watched other games

Good Lord, no one is going to show up to watch ULM play Middle Tennessee at 2:30 in the afternoon. That's about as bad as football can get. They'll need the booze.

Tulane sells beer and still couldn't get a thousand fans to the Superdome for the UTEP game.

If Tech tried to sell beer at games, the Baptist would be having a protest in front of the stadium

Actually, I'm really surprised ULM is.

We've been selling it for a couple of years now at Cajun Field. To appease the fricking crazy Christians (Chi Alpha), they designated an alcohol free section on the student side. It's just one row of seats and they're mostly ignored

After reading your sig quote with subsequent unsolicited visual, I think I need some of that UL alcohol.

I don't think it is a rule for the SEC not to have beer. I have heard that its an agreement by all schools just to not do it. Once it is brought up and a couple of schools feel like they need to do it the flood gates will open. Do you think LSU is creating their own beer for nothing? They have seen schools like West Virginia have success doing it. I don't think it will be long.

They are going to have to figure out is how to regulate it and how long it will be sold. I could see them stopping at halftime and only serving it in areas that is away from students. This of course is just my opinion.

If it is done successfully in pro sports why can't it be done in college?

We never had a hard time getting booze in during the NLU days.

I went once to ULm v Utah St on the condition I'd have a Johnny's Pizza.

You can't bring it back to your seat though. And you can drink in your suites, if you have one.


All are consistent with SEC policy.

Same thing at Alex Box, can buy from a full bar in the club area but it's no-no to take it to the seats.

I am pretty sure they sell booze in every college football stadium club / skybox. I have never been to a game in one that did not have a bar up there.
