I have always wondered this.

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

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

That's actually a good question.

Also why was the snowball stand open Friday night?

Easier to spill so that you have to buy another drink?

I've never see lids/straws at concessions in a stadium.

maybe I just don't go to stadiums that have this?

Better question: why do they insist on filling like 80% of the cup's capacity with ice, especially on a cold day such as today?

I think the concern is that a cup with a lid is a more dangerous projectile (as opposed to the messier results of no lid) if thrown from an upper row or deck. In the ACC, it's generally blamed on Maryland fans throwing stuff at the Duke entourage back in the day.

Actually its because thousands of little straws shoved in hard to reach places will attract ants and roaches.

Has nothing to do with budget cuts since concessions really have nothing to do with LSU. Iys a separate company.

I used to work there while i was in college. I would know.

Some you people bitch and moan like LSU is composed of the dumbest people on the planet that are just out to get you and make your experience a shitty one.

I think its at the Astros games. Somewhere I have been recently won't even let you have the lid to a water bottle. One of the screw on tops. It is what it is. If you don't like it, dont go to the damn games or don't buy concessions. Not that difficult.
