The beer would be available for purchase in the east indoor club, south indoor club and the indoor dining area of the south outdoor club. The University of Arkansas will become the eighth institution in the Southeastern Conference where alcohol is made available in stadium club areas for an on-campus sporting event.

Who are the others?

You can bring booze into the clubs and boxes at BDS, but to my knowledge UA doesn't take part in any sale of alcohol. So this would be a step above for razorback, hopefully BDS follows.

My guess is the suites hold 2500 fans or so. The "club" areas hold 8950 fans per various websites.

Drunkest stadium per capita?

Wish this would have been the case in 2012. Would have made my club experience quite a bit better.

thank goodness. those indoor club seats are a snore. lots of bluehairs that want to stay out of the elements and when you cheer it feels like you're at the movie theatre watching and cheering on rocky.

That was my first time experiencing a game from behind glass and I didn't enjoy nearly as much. Lots of older people who requested that the windows be closed, effectively cutting off whatever connection existed to the crowd and the game itself.

Are all the club seats at Razorback Stadium behind glass? I enjoy the club at Tiger Stadium because the majority of seats are outdoors, while still being protected from the elements.

Correct.

"It's a game management issue." Vincent says because none of the other schools in the Southeastern Conference allow alcohol in general seating, LSU does not feel pressured to change their policy. "It's kind of an unsaid decision that's been made among the league schools that we're not going to sell alcohol," Vincent said. Vincent says if SEC schools start to sell it though, LSU may reconsider. There is no SEC or NCAA policy in place banning alcohol sales at college sports. It's left up to each individual campus to decide.

No , we have outdoor club seating as well. The alcohol consumption has to occur within the indoor club seating though. LINK
