    What I want to know is the company that was selling 16oz cups claiming they were 20oz cups. Did they not measure the volume before mass producing these vessels? If they didn't then they deserve to go out of business. If they did then they deserve to go out of business.

    $10.50 for a bud light at the Lightning games. Stupid.

    I can't believe any adult man or woman doesn't know that concessions ANYWHERE is a rip-off.

    Solution: Don't be part of the masses. Stay home, watch the event on television with your favorite beer in your own glass.

    How come no one is complaining about the $10 bottles of beer at the strip club?

    Or $6.25 for a Hopslam, a Sucks, and a Torpedo in the parking lot before the game. :wink:

    Weird. It's almost as if huge businesses are out to make as much money from consumers as they possible can, even if it means misleading them.

    B
    But don't some stadiums have limits as to how many you can purchase at a time? Or have requirements that each beer come with a person and an ID? If not, I'd take that math any day!

    Yeah, probably two per purchase.

    I remember back at the old Chicago Stadium we could buy 4 at a time.

    While this is dumb, it's much more likely to be an oversight on the packaging they are serving in, or how the minimum wage seasonal employees are pouring, than whatever intentional "shenans" the youtuber and you all are insinuating is occurring here.

    I'd say it's worth mentioning a company like Aramark is contracted out to run the concessions at sporting events, for the very reason that the owner of the team doesn't want to deal with food prep logistics, or youtube videos about beer size/prices and the like. I'm sure he had some words for whoever is supposed to be taking care of this for him.

    The only stupid part of that equation is the person who actually pays that.
