Beer and wine could be available for purchase in the general seating areas in Tiger Stadium this year as the SEC has lifted its stadium wide ban on alcohol sales. Tiger Rag Editor James Moran says LSU has been a driving force behind this rule change.
“I would expect LSU would be one of the schools to adopt some kind of stadium wide alcohol sales policy,” said Moran.
The policy change gives the 14 schools in the SEC the ability to draw up their own alochol sale policy. Some schools may decide not to sell alcohol in the general seating areas, but Moran says LSU believes beer and wine sales can help keep Tiger Stadium full in the second half of games.
“That’s kind of the idea here, they are losing a lot of people that are going to drink elsewhere,” said Moran.
Moran says beer and wine sales at football, basketball and baseball games could be big revenue generator for LSU.
“I’m going to hazard a guess that they are going to overcharge significantly for beers at Tiger Stadium and the rest of the stadiums here at LSU,” said Moran.
