Starting this fall at Memorial Stadium, Mizzou fans might be able to purchase alcohol at Tiger football games.
In the biggest decision to come out of this week’s Southeastern Conference spring meetings in Destin, Fla., the league’s presidents and chancellors voted to grant member schools the autonomy to decide if they want to sell alcohol at their athletics venues effective Aug. 1, provided they follow certain requirements.
For decades the SEC has banned alcohol sales in general seating areas at sporting events, instead only allowing its members to serve alcohol in private suites and premium seating sections, as has been the case at MU’s Memorial Stadium, Mizzou Arena and Taylor Stadium.
