re: Why no lids/straws at LSU concessions?

Less trash, cost, time to serve

Where do you get kids made and how much was it?

The following actually happened and the policy is still in force at the “request” of the Department of Homeland Security – your tax dollars at work:

I questioned one of the concession managers when they first stopped supplying straws at the Box. Believe it or not, the reason is that immediately after 9-11, out great and wise government decided that that not only finger nail clippers on airplane fights were a security risk, but drinking straws were also a risk at sporting events! Yes, they could be used as weapons, but who in their right mind would highjack a baseball stadium? Therefore public universities, etc. were “encouraged” to stop give straws to customers. If you remember, plastic knives and forks also vanished at the same time because they also had the potential for use as “deadly weapons.”

PS: And without straws, you have to take the lid off to drink – ergo, no lids.

This sounds like a heaping helping of bullshite, IMO.

I've never had a straw and lid at any sporting event and I've been to venues all across this fair land in the last 30ish years.

Jut tell them no ice. I do that every time I'm at a game. The drink is already cold anyway plus a small drink with no ice = a large with ice.

I know they will not give you straws or lids at the zoo because they are dangerous to animals. Maybe same reasons? (LOL)

The Cajundome dose not have straws or lids for the drinks at the IceGators games,LSU is not the only one

Sooo much easier to poor my liquor in the cups. Thanks LSU!

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

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.
