I always just assumed that you couldn't have alcohol at on campus sporting events, but after the articles that came out about the fight over sales at the
new Minn stadium, I guess it proved me wrong. Does anyone in the SEC have it? I couldn't come up with any that I remembered. I doubt we ever do, but just
wondering.

They don't sell it at DWS, but everyone there is drinking. The lockers in the Club and Skyboxes are full of booze on gameday.

It doesn't matter if they sell it or not in LSU. Even the grandmas have it in their bags

I believe the rule is not at any on campus stadiums, but it's fine at off campus ones | #3 | ||

Abita Amber for $3 in the Tiger Den is the only thing that made our game in '06 worth a shit. Well that, and the free raw oyster bar.

Coors of course.... Tulane sells beer at baseball games too. I think it is only an SEC rule and also a land-grant institution rule.

you can't have it inside tiger stadium. well, at least not in the visitors section. they are also pretty tough on students trying to bring it in. as for
outside just on campus, you can do whatever the hell you want.

I was always under the impression that it was okay at off-campus stadiums. But, I think that might be a misconception.
Here is a link to the NCAA bylaws: http://www.ncaapublications.com/Uploads/PDF/Division_1_Manual_2008-09e9e568a1-c269-4423-9ca5-16d6827c16bc.pdf I searched "alcohol" and the only thing that hit was in relation to advertising and not being able to sell it at championship events. Nothing about regular games. Maybe there is something covering alcohol sales somewhere else, but I can't find it quickly. I couldn't find any bylaws on the SEC website. *On a side-note: that website is GARBAGE. I need a maginfying glass to read half the crap on there - I'm not even old. A link might be on there, but nowhere easily/quickly found.* I assume that if nobody in the SEC is selling alcohol at sporting events - the SEC must have a rule outlawing it - I just can't find it to source - I guess the bylaws are hidden deep in the interwebs if they are even there at all. That, or every member institution of the SEC has their own school-rules against alcohol sales at sporting events - which I doubt would happen. |

and not an NCAA thing, since WKU sells beer at their baseball games (on campus), and I know of at least one bar on a college campus (about 20 feet away from the football stadium).

I have had beer at both LSU and Houston games when State visited each school. The LSU game was in 2001 I think and they sold it up in the upper level. The
Houston game was in 2004 and they sold it at the concession stands. It is a big misconception that I was under for a long time as well. Lord knows that that
Houston game caused me to drink more than my share.

Those that don't either do so by choice, by local law restrictions, or by a a conference rule against it. The SEC has a rule against alcohol, which is why no SEC schools have it.

i don't know if that has (or had at some point) anything to do with their beer sales, but the stadium is technically across the street from campus. i think that may have had more to do with the huge BUDWEISER and BUD LIGHT signs in the end zone, though. i want to say there are regulations on alcohol advertising also. |

they do not sell it there in the general concessions. Maybe there is some private suite area that does. Im not sure how they would get away with that though.

down the page in the article, I found this
"Schools are left to decide for themselves. While setting policy for championships (except in football) and recommending guidelines for individual institutions, the NCAA has shied away from imposing across-the-board restrictions on advertising, sponsorships and sales at events." guess that answers the question about the NCAA. if only the sec had a better website |

As has already been said, the no-alcohol rule is the SEC's. It applies regardless of whether the game is on campus or not, as long as it is a home game
for the SEC team. That loophole is the reason you could buy alcohol at the 2002 UT/Wyoming game in Nashville; Wyoming was technically the "home"
team.

And yes, they had beer at Houston's stadium, which was on campus. I have no idea how it's techinically off-campus.
