While fans may soon be able to buy alcohol at some other stadiums around the SEC, they still won’t be able to do so at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Even though the SEC lifted its ban on in-game beer and wine sales on Friday, it looks like Alabama will be among the schools that still won’t have alcohol available for purchase at sporting events.

“This new policy allows each campus to decide what is right for them,” Alabama said in a statement. “These guidelines will be helpful as we move forward and have future conversations. We have one of the best game-day atmospheres in the country, and we don’t envision making changes at this time.”

The new SEC policy, which will go into effect Aug. 1, will require schools that decide to sell alcohol at games to implement a series of conference-wide alcohol management procedures. That includes the establishment of designated stationary sales locations, a restriction that prohibits sales by vendors in seating areas, a limit on the number of alcoholic beverages purchased per transaction and designated times for each sport that they must stop selling alcohol.

The policy doesn’t change anything regarding suites or privately leased areas within which the sale and distribution of alcohol was already allowed by the SEC.

“Our policy governing alcohol sales has been a source of considerable discussion and respectful debate among our member universities in recent years,” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said. “As a conference, we have been observant of trends in the sale and consumption of alcohol at collegiate sporting events and have drawn upon the experiences and insights of our member schools which have responsibly established limited alcohol sales within controlled spaces and premium seating areas. We remain the only conference to set forth league-wide standards for the responsible management of the sale of alcoholic beverages.”
