Not to mention most places won't let you bring anything in with you.
I'm waiting for people to start suing open-air arenas because their
mother died of dehydration during a summer concert because they
weren't allowed to bring a bottle of water with them.
There was a great story a couple of months ago out of my neighboring
Philly where the new football stadium said they wouldn't allow people
to bring hoagies because of a security risk. I couldn't believe they
were using Sept. 11th security issues as a reason to keep people from
bringing their own food to the stadium. At least if they were open and
said they didn't want to lose concession money from folks bringing
their own sandwiches, I could respect that. But to make up some
bullshit about a security issue is idiotic. The fans rebelled, of
course, (we love our hoagies - the main reason this region is amongst
the most overweight in the country) and the stadium changed its mind
and said people could bring hoagies if they were wrapped in plastic
wrap. Assholes.
