Where every SEC football stadium currently stands on alcohol policy
By SDS Staff
Published:
On Friday morning, the University of Tennessee announced that it would sell alcohol to the general public this year at Neyland Stadium.
The Vols became the sixth school to announce such policy. UT joined Arkansas, LSU, Missouri, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt.
At the 2019 SEC Spring Meetings, conference presidents and chancellors voted to allow campuses the authority to make decisions relative to the sell of beer and wine in the public areas at athletic events.
So, where does every SEC school currently stand with the season so close? Below is a team-by-team breakdown.
Alabama Crimson Tide: The University released a statement earlier this summer regarding the policy, saying it won’t make any changes for the 2019 season.
Arkansas Razorbacks: Arkansas announced this month that it will sell alcohol to the general public.
Auburn Tigers: Auburn reportedly won’t sell alcohol to the general public this year.
Florida Gators: Florida is perhaps the biggest question of the 14 programs. No announcement has been made and no reports have surfaced to what Florida intends to do in 2019.
Georgia Bulldogs: Georgia announced in June that it will not sell alcohol to the general public.
Kentucky Wildcats: Kentucky announced on August 1 that it will not sell alcohol this season.
LSU Tigers: LSU announced in late July that it will sell alcohol to the general public this year.
Mississippi State and Ole Miss: Neither the Bulldogs or Rebels have announced any policy changes for 2019. Sports Illustrated points out that a Mississippi law prohibits alcohol sales on college campuses; however, Vaught Hemingway Stadium has acquired “resort” status, which is an exemption potentially allowing the university a way around the law. Davis Wade Stadium does not have resort status.
Missouri Tigers: Missouri announced earlier this month that it would sell alcohol to the general public.
South Carolina Gamecocks: South Carolina announced in July there would be no changes to alcohol sales at Williams-Brice Stadium.
Tennessee Volunteers: Tennessee announced Friday that alcohol will be sold to the general public in 2019.
Texas A&M Aggies: The Aggies became the first SEC school to announce it would sell alcohol to the general public this season.
Vanderbilt Commodores: Vanderbilt announced Wednesday that it would sell alcohol to the general public this season.
