Beer is free in the good seats. Need to keep the poors in line.

They get around the state law because the areas are "leased". Suites at football games cost upwards of $50k per year because any catering must go through MSU catering. I don't have $50K lying around just to be a big shot and I wouldn't do even if I had. I'm pretty comfortable with who I am. Don't need to put on the big dog on campus appearance.

Like they aren’t already hammered when they get in or sneaking liquor in their flasks.

Good point. I imagine the Arkansas and Tennessee fans are stoned before the games. How else could they endure it?

A&M started selling beer this year in tented off sections in corners of the stadium
Really? Your chancellor, John Not-so-Sharp, made fun of UT Austin when we started selling beer, saying the aggy product hadn't reached the level of needing a buzz to be able to watch it.
What a total putz.

Good. Needs to happen for all of D1 schools IMO.

To be fair...they do have some damn good craft beer at TCF Bank Gophers stadium.

There was a rumor that Budweiser offered to build the enclosed endzone and 3rd deck for UGA if they could secure beer rights inside the stadium. Thats a lot of $$
I've heard that rumor too. There was also talk about Georgia renaming itself to the Georgia Budweiser Dogs in order to secure the cash.

Good article on it from 1 year ago. At the bottom are examples of some schools getting around the rule a little bit.
LINK
As schools ready for the change, they are also skirting the current policy by implementing new premium seating areas where alcohol can be sold, a trend sweeping through college athletics as a way to get butts in seats and, notably for the SEC, to sell booze. The SEC’s ban only covers general seating areas, restricting alcohol sales to private, controlled spaces.
At least two SEC programs, Texas A&M and Auburn, have opened a type of beer garden in their baseball stadiums, selling alcohol in sequestered areas that are separated from bleacher seating. LSU opened a football version of this in 2017 atop the south end zone, turning a 1,500-seat general admission area with bleacher seating into a designated space for alcohol sales that the school calls The Skyline Club.

More excerpts from the June 1, 2018 article:
Florida created a beer garden just outside of its football stadium during last month’s spring game, a successful venture that the school will extend into the season, Stricklin said.
Admittance into the spaces at Texas A&M and Auburn is $5. Tickets in the Skyline Club are as low as $45. The league approved plans for these newly created areas, as they met “the expectation on oversight, private area and controlled space for review,” Sankey said in April.

Well that’s just great. More people stepping on my feet more often making trips back and forth to the bathroom.

It’s a novelty that will wear off after one season. They won’t sell it at a reasonable price and like most draft beer it will suck.
