re: Why no lids/straws at LSU concessions?

What is the dumb reason LSU came up with to not have lids and straws for drinks at games?

The primary reason is trash. Straws get caught in places where it makes it hard to pick them all up and will attract ants. In the PMAC, straws get caught in the cracks of the rollup seating area (lower level) and eventually you can't move the seats. That's also why they don't sell peanuts in the PMAC.

The second reason is a safety issue. The drink with a lid can be used as a projectile.

Cost is not an issue.

uhhh, more trash....people chewing on straws while people are walking around putting someone's eye out....spit balls.....flying lids--U know if you were on the top row what you would be doing.

It cannot be cost because the drinks are already sky high.

it is an unwarranted expense so it cuts into profits regardless of how "sky high" the drinks already are IT ALL contributes to the bottom line

On home-game nights, George W. Bush tries to leave the office by 5:30 p.m., driving his 4-year-old black Pontiac to Arlington Stadium and wandering between the concession stands, ticket windows and the first base dugout. He welcomes fans, chats with vendors and talks baseball with the athletes whose contracts he now owns.

Bush accidentally poked himself in both of his eyes while checking on the concessions and outlawed the use of straws and lids on sodas at the games. The practice has spread to most sporting events and is called "Bushpoke prevention" because of it beginning in the Ranger organization.
