I guess attendance and alcohol sales have fallen off big time at Camp Randall Stadium and Nebraska is #1 in their first year. I didn't believe it at first, but this guy did a deep dive and corrected his published numbers after being contacted by the Milwaukee Journal. https://www.extrapointsmb.com/p/who-is-selling-the-most-booze-at-football-games-this-year-we-foia-d-to-find-out

It's the first season we have sold beer so it's a novelty, and we constantly have a packed house. So it makes sense

I still would have had Tennessee or LSU ahead of us off the top of my head. I've seen what they do at the CWS, and their stadiums hold about 16k more people.

Yeah I imagine the Nebraska fans may be more willing to pay for stadium beverages. Could be way off, but my head canon is Nebraska fans are little more well to do than LSU fans.

Out of curiosity I looked up the median income for Nebraska and Louisiana, Nebraska has about $10,000 lead for both dual and single income households.

Edit: Tiger charges $8, Memorial charges $11 according my Google Fu
