Switched to Oregon vs Stanford game at half. The stadium had a big BUD LIGHT billboard. Can some college stadiums serve beer during regular season games?

Not that I am aware of unless they are playing at an NFL stadium. At the FSU/Bama game a few years ago in Jacksonville they served it. I watched several people (both sides of fans) escorted out for indulging in more than maybe they should have. However, I have seen that happen in T-Town too. I guess if you want to over indulge you can regardless of where you are.........

Yeah it's probably not a good idea with excited college kids. I am sure it can get out of hand quickly.

Colorado is the only on-campus facilty I know of that serves beer at general concession stands (maybe partly why they bum-rushed the field after beating 1-4 Georgia). Beer sales there are result of a massive sponsorship deal with Coors, which is headquartered nearby.

Plenty of off-campus stadiums serve it, such as the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Raymond James Stadium in Tampa (USF), and others.

And many college stadiums (especially in the Midwest and West) have ads for beer companies in their on-campus stadiums, but don't actually serve it.

Also, many on-campus stadiums serve beer AND liquor in donor club seating areas and luxury suites. Even on dry campuses, this is done by leasing the premium seating areas out to be operated by private foundations. The leasing scenario allows alcohol to be served and/or sold, while other campuses use the storage locker method that we do.

Both USC and UCLA serve beer. Their stadiums arent on campus. But there is no NCAA law against it. More people sneak in liquor and get smashed when if the sold beer it would be a lot less of a problem.

I would swear there are other places that serve beer at on campus venues.

I really dislike being around alcohol.
Not looking to go way off target or pick a fight but I'd ask, why? Beverages containing alcohol are no different than your kitchen knife, gun, car, etc. Treated properly they're great... abused or disrespected and mayhem ensues. Seems most everyone except for the drunks themselves would/should/do have a problem with alcohol abusers... but not alcohol... BIG difference in the 2!

To all of this I say I wish the culture's relationship with alcohol was VERY different. We wouldn't have to worry about our 19 year olds drinking themselves to death if they'd been taught to respect the beverage at a young age through experience.

I may be wrong, but I think each conference dictates alcohol sales?
Yeah, the SEC has a rule against it at conference games, even those off campus. That's why beer was sold at the Ga Dome vs Clemson and Va. Tech but not at the SEC Championship Game.

I don't have to give an explanation of why I don't like being around alcohol, and I'm not going to. You have your opinion and I have mine. I'm going to leave it at that.

We're probably drifting into "Non-Sports" territory here, but I've always believed in "All things in moderation." Prohibition of anything only leads to abuse and too much of anything is bad for you.
