Must be new guideline suggestions from Middlesex county sherriffs office or from Felicia McGinty :sunglasses:
**NEW STADIUM RULES THIS WEEKEND**
- Thread starter MrsScrew
- Start date
Holy s*#t! I can't agree more. People worrying about getting their precious water. If you really needed it to LIVE you can always cup your hands at the sink in the bathroom. Think "Natural Disaster" movie, like the old school Earthquake movies and you need to drink out of a puddle to survive. FYI, yes I drank out of a garden hose as a kid, but I'm tough as nails...lol. FYI + 1, the stadium will accommodate medical conditions.
Think she had a hand in shutting down the alley.

Past employee at "We Are Penn State",story goes she was the one outside the Athletic department who pushed closure of Alley.
Banning a clear bottle of water has nothing to do with security unless they are concerned about Iowa fans sneaking in ethanol. Do I really need to be protected inside the stadium from things that are readily available at the rest of the game day experience?
Nothing dumber then pissing off people who give thousands to make a few dollars.

How dare Rutgers update their stadium policy to be on par with the rest of the nation
They make collapsable water bottles (I was even given one by Liberty Travel at the Block R Party last week). I might put one in my pocket.
But what's so bad about empty clear plastic? Even airlines allow 3 oz bottles in a more sensitive security situation.

Thanks man, really took my time with that one. Finally picked my spot after 5 years
Why ban clear plastic factory sealed water bottles? Ban the loose wiring, bags of nails, and pressure cookers.
3 way more high profile stadiums around here all allow it...just sayin.
I agree that we previously had a great family & fan friendly bag & outside food/drink policy. I disagree that banning outside drinks is a good idea or making us more secure. Has MetLife Stadium similarly changed its policy to not allow factory sealed water bottles (maybe they have for this weekend but I've seen nothing on it...yet?)? I can see banning a thermos & other refillable drink bottles, which they've allowed in, but not factory sealed clear plastic water (& other) bottles. The problem is that they've regularly run out of water & Gatorade in the past & the lines are way too slow & long causing you to miss an entire quarter. Not to mention it's way overpriced & there's the stupid bottle cap issue, like every other stadium/arena. I get it that we've been spoiled & many college & pro stadiums don't allow them or any bags at all & we may move in that direction, but then they need to have competent, efficient & fast concessions, not to mention more concession stands, carts & workers walking around selling & edible food instead of the current Sodexo dog food.
I have that beat. At Pop Warner practice we had a bucket and a sponge, you would suck the water out of the sponge and throw it back into the bucket for the next guy.
Can someone refresh me on the dangers of a sealed water bottle again?
Safety my ass. People were bragging on this board last week about bringing cases of water in. The food vendor caught wind of this, and shut down the revenue bleeding.
Next time keep your damned mouth shut.

If you can't afford a bottle (1 because you can refill at the fountain) of water in the stadium it really means that you can't afford the tickets to enter the game either. So you shouldn't live beyond your means. Please stay at home and watch on television. You probably can't watch certain games because that means you need the sports package. If you have the sports package that means you CAN afford a bottle of water and possibly your tickets, which in turn means you CAN go to the game.
Just sneak in a cap. Or...
One of my buddies sells caps for $1 behind section 120. CASH ONLY. Exact change! Dont ask him any questions. Just pay the dollar, get a cap, move along or you will be ignored. He is in a green polo or green hoodie.

get one of these water filters and you can probably drink right from the toilet. No need to hunt down water fountains

And it's pretty much the cost of 1 water bottle inside the stadium. That's just a great investment
All the folks that pack heavy to HPSS ought to try and get in Ohio Stadium.

You are starting out on fire. An 8/4 Like to Post ratio is going to make you poster of the year.
I do too. I called the Athletics Department and was told I will be able to bring in bottled liquids. They are going to get back to me with specific instructions.
For those that don't have medical conditions please don't screw this up for those of us who do by making unnecessary requests. Thanks.

A courtesy cup of water may be requested at any permanent concession stand. Guests with special medical or dietary needs, please see "Permitted Items" section below.
Plus go early as fans may have to take off their shoes before going through the turnstiles.

Says a guy that will be watching on TV from the comfort of his home in suburban Dallas. If he's going to watch at all.
The differences are:
1. This change to the policy was made AFTER the tickets were sold.
2. Our stadium was constructed with a very limited number of water fountains, leaving fans with few options. At other places I've been that restrict the carrying in of bottles water fountains are more available.
As someone who goes to the venues where there is more likely to be a problem, they for some reason don't - That.
As as of right now I guess the Mara's, Johnson's, Wilpon's and the Steinbrenner's are behind the curve when it comes to stuff like this.
The problem is that our stadium is so ill-equipped to handle the demand for virtually anything. All of those other stadiums have plenty of vendors on their prosceniums (proscenia?), and a number of them even had things similar to a food court with tables and chairs to eat at while watching the game. We have a lot of catching up to do (not our fault and not a complaint, we got into the game long after the teams Mrs. Screw mentioned did), and it's going to take years. So until they can meet the demand of some of the basic needs, and hydration is perhaps the most basic, they need to figure out a way to meet that need. People passing out due to dehydration is bad policy, and setting up a lot of stands to sell water is easily accomplished.
