This inquiring mind wants to know if they will have beer on tap. No beer here in Birmingham for the SEC tournament unless you are a high-roller up in the VIP suites. I am parched after day 1.
Embrace the pace of the race.

The minor league team sells beer at Sioux Falls Stadium.

I was at the Senior Day game on Sunday. I heard some of the parents saying that were going to the tournament. They were looking forward to having some beer during the games! :D

This is the reason we need an indoor party area in the new football stadium able to hold a hundred or so people because you can serve beer at the games in these areas. I love what ISU did with their indoor area and they rent it out to parties and company meetings all the time, not that we have as many people who would use it, but it would still be a thought. I hope they do not just do club boxes that you have to buy a whole box and they let there be a large area like a banquet room with big glass that overlooks field. ISU has a basically bar table with stools that line the entire glass looking over field and then tons of TV's inside airing the game for those who want to eat at a table and drink a beer.

The six players named All-League is a new program record, topping the old mark of five All-Conference selections from both 1994 and 2006.
