The Southeastern Conference is going to look into selling alcohol at neutral site games and home games not on campus according to www.al.com.
Here is an excerpt from the article.
The SEC plans to review its alcohol policy for neutral-site games and home games off campus, but not necessarily selling alcohol to the public at campus games, SEC Associate Commissioner Herb Vincent said.
The University of Texas recently began selling beer and wine at some sporting events this year and may continue at football games in the fall. At least one SEC athletics director likes the idea for SEC stadiums, where alcohol is permitted in private suites but not public areas.
Selling beer at football games “would enhance the fan experience,” LSU Athletics Director Joe Alleva said. “I don’t think that’s something that would necessarily be a negative for drunkenness and it might curtail the drunkenness if you sold beer. Right now, they drink excessively in the parking lot before they come in because they can’t get alcohol inside. Perhaps if they had access in the stadium, they wouldn’t drink as much when they come in. I think it’s something we have to talk about. This may come down the road in the future, and I wouldn’t be opposed to it.”
