Post subject:  Hockey Fans Suing Arena Over Misleading Beer Prices
Talk about unbounded shameless greed! First charge $4 for water down Bud Light than up the price for $7 for a taller skinnier cup holding the same amount of liquid to trick the consumer they are getting more beverage when there really not. These sports stadiums make a killing on concessions like movie theaters and there is no need to cheat anyone on paying more for the same amount of beer of the so called 'small' size cup.

Quote:
A handful of Idaho hockey fans sued a Boise arena on Tuesday, saying they were duped into thinking a $7 beer contains more brew than a $4 beer.

The lawsuit says CenturyLink Arena, home of the Idaho Steelheads hockey team, defrauded customers by charging $3 more for a tall, narrow cup advertised as a "large" that actually holds the same amount of beer as the shorter, wider cup described as a "small."

Arena spokesman Mike Campbell said he hadn't yet seen the lawsuit and can't comment.


Quote:
The lawsuit came just two days after another hockey fan posted a video on YouTube of what the fan said was a beer purchased at CenturyLink Arena on March 8. That video shows a patron holding a large cup of beer and pouring it into an empty small cup. In both cups, the beer reaches nearly to the brim.

Saw this on Deadspin this morning.

I'm just impressed someone from Idaho of all places would actually be smart enough to figure it out. Pretty sure the arena ownership was just as shocked.

For the record, your best buy is 2 small beers anyway. And I would kill for $4 stadium beers.

The arena is stupid. Could have just had one size the whole time and charged $6 for it. They'd have more $.
