Related Topics: wide

The SEC announced its decision to lift its stadium-wide ban on alcohol sales during the SEC Spring Meetings on Friday.

Each school in the conference can decide to sell alcohol at games in public seating areas, with sales limited to only beer and alcohol under the policy. No hard liquor or mixed drinks can be sold in general seating areas. Alcoholic beverages must be sold at designated locations and cannot be sold by vendors in seating areas.

The conference also set rules on when alcohol sales will stop during games. The time limits include sales stopping at the end of the third quarter during football games, at the second half 12-minute TV timeout in men's basketball games and at the conclusion of the top of the 7th inning at baseball games.
