SEC looking at changes to allow alcohol sales at off-campus stadiums

If they were to do that, they would crack down much harder on sneaking in your own stuff.

When this issue has come up before I could not really find anything about it except that it appears that the SEC has a policy/preference for no alcohol sales except for limited sales to premium members. LINK

I don't know that this policy is published anywhere and it has been questioned whether the SEC could actually forbid alcohol sales. As best I can tell it is up to each individual school and facility whether and under what circumstances to permit the sales and essentially those that have permitted it have gone along with the so called policy.

The NCAA does ban sales at its sanctioned championship games.

Univ of Texas has started doing it. They are the 4th or 5th school in the state doing it. People are limited to 3 beers. Given how crowded stadiums are, how limited concession stands are, if you wanted to actually see the game and not spend too much time in the restroom lines, you would be hard pressed to buy 3 individual beers at different times.

McGarity in the works to build an off-campus stadium? ya know, sine we need more revenue and all?

as long as it gets us a few more bucks.

They most certainly would. I would rather sneak my own booze in

The last thing I want to do is wait in line for 20 minutes to get a $9 beer that is all foam, and warm, and gives me the runs.

Learn how to pour coca cola first, then consider moving up to different types of beverages.

Isn't SC's stadium off campus? They finally have something going for them.

They give you a plastic bracelet with three beer tabs when you enter the event. In theory you have to pull a tab off in the presence of the cashier when you buy a beer. So you have a chance at three beers. It doesn't always work that well. There are ways around it but you just don't have time to get that many

If alcohol sales were allowed inside, not nearly as many people would bring their own in.

False, strike one.

what they have done to that game during Adams and the UF pres' tenure is criminal..we would go tailgate off of Gate 3 at Victoria street and get hammered if we wished, then go watch the game on the outside bigscreen, drinking beer and eating brats, etc...BUT NOOOO the last few years they eliminated alcohol outside of the stadium and even stopped providing available chairs for outside. we stayed on Amelia as normal but didn't even bother with going to the stadium this past game and I bet a bunch of other folk did the same and now the vendors are bitching at sales loss...

so now they might allow sales inside the stadium...go the frick ahead you assholes...

ps-a few years back Bama played FSU at the beginning of the season in Jax and they had alcohol vendors everywhere inside and outside of the stadium.

the people who just want to continue a small buzz going, will be perfectly content with this alternative.

False. Strike Two.


You don't know much about Sanford Stadium, apparently.
