I'm wondering the reason for the tradition of men wearing jackets and ties and women wearing dresses to football games in SEC schools (and other Southern schools). I'm not trying to attack it, but the idea seems weird to me because:
A) football games are very hot for the better part of SEC football season (therefore it would be very uncomfortable for the guys),
B) often involve drinking/messy food/activities where you could easily ruin nice clothes,
C) the stands can be dirty since they are exposed to the elements,
D) because people don't wear nice "church-like" clothes to NFL games
E) even most coaches/staff don't dress up, and
F) you're not usually wearing school colors when you dress up.
Is the wearing of jackets and ties and dresses only a Greek thing at these Southern schools or do most of the football fans wear clothes like that to games?
