Do they serve alcohol at the game? Is it treated like a bowl game in that sense since the teams are not both in the SEC and the game is off-campus?



I'm gonna need it for when we suck arse at QB and we watch Michigan kill us.

I can't remember if alcohol was served in 2012 - mainly because I didn't drink any. But the atmosphere was very festive and very bowl-like.

Based on the ticket prices dropping like crazy on Stub Hub, I am not expecting a full stadium at all... MAYBE 80%, maybe.

Some of my in-laws have been. It is basically a bowl game and alcohol is served.

A&M and Ark play there yearly. Lots of beer is sold.

Surprised Michigan fans haven't bought out all the tickets. They traveled pretty well from what I remember in '12.

Alcohol bans are a stadium thing. TAMU v Arky is a drunk experience.

I'm sure most stadiums in the SEC would serve Beer if the SEC allowed it. The Georgia Dome can't even sell it for the SEC championship game unless you are in the "club" level.

I got season tickets to Kyle Field. They now refer to about half the stadium as club seating so they can sell beer. They also consider Kyle Field a war memorial so they won't actually let you take beer to your seat. Gotta buy a soda then pour your beer into the soda cup so no one notices. I will take my hat off in the MSC and you'll never see me walk on the grass. But countless men have fought and died for freedom and I don't see how me not drinking a beer at a football game in my seat is showing them respect.

I haven't checked ticket prices in the last 2 weeks but they were outrageous. I'll be there but the prices were ridiculous.

Yes. LOTS. They sell 16oz beers for about 8 or 9 bucks IIRC.

Face value is $100 for uppers... so yeah, kind of crazy. But on Stub Hub, they're down to $60 + fees. That's a big difference. Basically there will be a shitload of them floating around the stadium and I'm sure you could get an upper seat for $40 or cheaper.

Yes, such a fun stadium to do an away game. LSU/Oregon and LSU/TCU were some of the best times I have had for away games outside of the SEC.

Bring your wallet though, those $12 beers are whats buttering Jerry Jones' biscuits.

I should have waited on tickets :(. That said they should have beer but it's expensive.
